When actor Jamie Foxx went on The Graham Norton Show, he talked about things that happened on the set of Collateral that made him realize that it was Tom Cruise that was a big star and not anybody else. The anchor:

“I like the story of you learning that, like, Tom Cruise was the star.”

Jamie Foxx:

“Oh yeah. When I did get in Collateral, Michael Mann was like, ‘Hey, you’d better keep your stuff together because, you know, I’m making sure this movie works for the big star.’ And that’s how I knew I wasn’t the big star.

We’re in the car and we’re driving and we’re supposed to do this stunt where I crash into another car. But what happens is the car gets out of control and I actually do crash into the car. And they’re like, ’Jamie, get out of the way. Tom? Are you okay?’ And that’s where you know where you are.”
