GERMAN OFFICIAL APOLOGISES FOR TRYING TO BAN CRUISE
British filmmaker KENNETH BRANAGH has revealed the German official who initially wanted TOM CRUISE banned from shooting in his country has apologised to the actor.
The unnamed German told Cruise he had misinterpreted the plot of the film, Valkyrie - about a real-life assassination attempt on Nazi leader Adolf Hitler - and was sorry for the fuss he had caused.
Branagh, who co-stars with Cruise, says, "All that nonsense about the Germans not wanting Tom Cruise there was largely exaggerated, and has to be said.
"A week into our shooting the man that led much of the noise that had been made rang up deeply apologetic and said, ‘I’m so sorry, I just read the script, it’s fantastic. I did not understand. I’m sorry.’ "We ended up shooting in some of the houses where the bombs had been hidden on their way to try and get rid of Mr. Hitler."
