John Cusack 'would run huge credit debt'

John Cusack has admitted that he would go on a massive shopping spree if he knew the world was to explode.

The actor, who stars in new movie 2012 about civilisation coming to an end, said that an apocalypse would make him want to run a giant debt because he wouldn't have to worry about the consequences.

The 43-year-old told Elle: "Maybe people will get less commercial, less interested in material things. Although if there was going to be an apocalypse we should just charge a lot of s**t on credit cards and not worry about the consequences. Which is sort of what we've done anyway."

Cusack also revealed that his film career has made him "cynical".

He added: "You can think that the world has so many problems that you can become pretty judgmental. And when you're in this business, there's certainly a type you become. I'm cynical about life, about people."
