His example for this was his turn in The Mummy (2017), where Tom Cruise was the action hero and he was the grounded sidekick And they were shooting this long scene where they discuss the mummy's curse or some shit in the middle of the desert and he found it really tiring

So he was just like "Can I have a chair?" And it starts this flurry of discussion "You're in the middle of the desert, continuity-wise where would you get a chair" "Well I dunno, that's not my problem, I'm not the writer, I just want a chair"

"Do you think that would affect the shot?" "I'm not the DP either, I dunno, ask them" "Well if you're in a chair should Tom be in a chair?" "He can if he wants, that's his business, all I'm saying is my feet hurt and I want a chair"

"Look I'm not trying to be Robert De Niro here, if I can't have a chair then that's fine, you're the boss, but I just feel like I have the right to ask for a chair if I want one Come on it's only a movie"

End result, this scene has Tom Cruise standing and Jake Johnson sitting in a folding chair they apparently had with them on the expedition Jake Johnson's acting tip: "You should always try to do a good job, but if you can always try to find a way to do it sitting down"

To his credit he could probably smell the bad on this project and I don’t blame him for not wanting to kill him self to do it.

I miss the Tom Cruise who just made big budget dramas and used his star power to get any directors movie made. Now he’s Evel Knievel, which I respect because he so desperately is trying to entertain you. But still.

You can say whatever you want about Cruise but that motherfucker has never once phoned anything in. Doesn’t know the meaning of the word. He idles at 110%.

In the context of the movie, Cruise's character is this obsessive fanatic and Johnson's job is just to be tired of his shit all the time, so it works
