Tom Cruise and Emilio Estevez have been friends since childhood. They both auditioned together for the movie The Outsiders, and attended the party afterwards.

Lowe was invited to Dax Shepard's podcast, Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard, and recalled his first experiences with Cruise. Tom Cruise is known for his genuine interactions with fans.

At Days of Thunder, Tom Cruise discovered his love for racing, but his instructor, Roger French, stated that he ignored proper technique and safety precautions and instead drove incredibly fast.

The audition process for The Outsiders was rigorous; those selected had to go to New York to face another round of auditions.
Tom Cruise is known to be a little weird when it comes to dishes; he believes they should be scrubbed before they go into the dishwasher.
