Cruise revives 'Tropic Thunder' character

Rex Features

Tom Cruise has revealed that he is working with Ben Stiller on reviving his Tropic Thunder character Les Grossman.

Cruise, who was yesterday nominated for a best supporting actor Golden Globe for his turn as the balding, foul-mouthed studio executive, told E! Online: "I've talked about doing different videos with the character.

"I've started working with Ben on it, and we've kind of talked about different things to do. We were gonna do some in our free time, but we haven't found the free time... yet."

The 46-year-old said that a Tropic Thunder spinoff featuring Grossman was a possibility. "He's a fun character. I gotta talk to Ben, but there could be more to do with that guy," he said.
