Remember the bit where Nicole Kidman snuck a look under a bowl covering The Cruiser’s genitals in Far And Away? Remember the genuine look of surprise on her face? Well, that’s all down to The Method, baby.

Cruise had tried a couple of takes with his pants on, but wasn’t feeling the scene. So he slipped them off when Nicole wasn’t looking.

Let’s just make this clear – Tom Cruise used the power of the Method to not just act the part of a man not wearing any pants, but to be a man not wearing any pants. That’s pretty inspiring.
