Tom Cruise Pays Tribute to Paul Newman

tom-cruise-paul-newman_NC

Beloved actor and philanthropist Paul Newman will grace the cover of the next issue of PEOPLE. Included inside the pages is a multiple page tribute, part of which is from Tom Cruise. Tom and Paul were co-stars in the 1986’s “Color of Money”.

Here’s what Tom had to say about his good friend:

“He was bigger than life to me. But he always had a way of putting us all at ease … he called me cruiser or sometimes kid. We would grab time to hang out whenever we could find it.

“His life will forever inspire me. The world has lost an icon; I have lost an idol.”

I’ve posted the trailer from “The Color of Money” below.
