Tom Cruise surprises fans with his fluent Hindi accent | Watch
Tom Cruise rode a bike off a cliff, fought on a moving train, hung from a plane and now, the Hollywood superstar has proved he can speak in Hindi as well. In an interview with Canadian news outlet ETalk, the 61-year-old actor was praised by the journalist for fluency in various languages in his movies, especially the "Mission: Impossible" franchise. "Is there anything you cannot do? Is he going to speak in Hindi with me?" asked the Indian-origin journalist.
Cruise was more than willing to test his Hindi speaking skills as he said, "If you want me to speak in Hindi with you, I will. Let's try it." The journalist then asked The Last Samurai actor to say, "Namaste. Aap kaise hain?' (Namaste, How are you?)".
Much to the fans' delight, Cruise aced the pronunciation in first attempt as he repeated the sentence with folded hands. The clip from the interview, which was part of the promotional campaign for "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One", has gone viral on social media. Several Indian fans found Cruise's accent "cute".
"He is so cute while speaking ‘namaste aap kaise ho’ & Is there anything he can't do," a user said on Twitter. "Tom Cruise wins the hearts of all Indians with his Hindi. His humility is on another level.
God Bless him," another user said. "Wow.... He spoke Hindi very well," read a post.
Another fan wrote, "He said Namaste on his own, shows how aware he is of India and Indian fans." "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One", directed by Christopher McQuarrie, is the seventh instalment of Cruise's long-running spy franchise "Mission: Impossible". The movie also features Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby and Henry Czerny. Presented by
