is john cusack a asshole?.

He's not a douche bag. He's just like any other star in the hollywood industry. They want big pay days, more creative control. Bullshit like that. I think people blur the line between the actor's characters and the actor himself/herself.

Wow, who would have thunk it: an actor who plays mostly good guys on the big screen turns out to be not so much in real life? Someone call the “Duh Police”! But seriously. Apparently John Cusack is a bit of a douche bag, at least according to Australian actor turned writer Paul Leyden, who opines to an Australian radio show about the horrors of working with Mr. Cusack, the star of a cop thriller called “The Factory” that Leyden penned, and is currently scheduled for release in 2009.

Here’s what Leyden said, according to BigPictureRadio.com:

“John Cusack was one of my favourite actors until I met him…I have to say one thing - and this is my favourite line when people ask me what I think of John Cusack - he plays nice guys on film. So, read between the lines.”

But wait, he didn’t stop there! He goes on:

“He cost us a lot of money and he was getting his biggest pay day on this film. He was getting paid a lot of cash and he would just be two hours late to set, wouldn’t apologise for keeping everyone waiting in the snow. Everyone thought he was a really nice guy (prior to filming) and all I can say is that it was a really nice day when he wrapped,” Leyden said.

Ouch.

But that’s not the end of the story, not by a long show. Very quickly after that radio interview, Leyden released this statement trying to “clarify” his comments about Cusack:

It was said in a jovial way and I’ve been misconstrued. I’m honoured to have met him and that he’s in this film. I was joking…I feel terrible that I’ve said something about someone I have absolute admiration and respect for.”


Sounds like someone got called out on the carpet.

Is John Cusack a douche bag? Who knows. From the descriptions Leyden gave above, Cusack sounds like every other Hollywood actor out there, which isn’t a surprise, although I suppose, considering Cusack’s roles, one would expect more from him.

Here’s a little about “The Factory”, which actually sounds like a pretty good movie:

An obsessed cop who, with his partner, is on the trail of a serial killer prowling the streets of Buffalo, N.Y. When his teenage daughter disappears, the cop drops any professional restraint and goes all out to get the killer.

Damn, I’d rather see the above movie than watch Cusack do a sorta-not-really sequel to “Grosse Point Blank” where the only draw is Hilary Duff dropping a scorpion into her pants. No, seriously, that’s one of the scenes from Cusack’s latest, “War Inc.”

Well if he was 2 hours late and all, that's not being very professional.

[echo_bravo]

Well, he is from Chicago so what do you expect.:p

Really? He mainly plays nice guys?

I also thought of him as casted as the neurotic asshole chracters. Like in 1408, High Fidelity, Gross Pointe Blank and Being John Malkovich(which he should of gotten an Oscar nom for).

This is a crazy story, but one time John Cusack stopped to help my wife change a flat tire. He was really nice and told her she could sit in the car, but she looked in the mirror and saw him drive off really quick and he was laughing. She got out and realized he'd stolen her jack. So, no... I can't say I'm a fan of John Cusack.

For real, he came off really nice in that video where the girl thought he was in American Beauty.

i`m guessing its because he was been flimed at the time.

Sounds like Cusack needs an attitude adjustment...:D

I would think that if not for his initial reaction. He seemed pretty laid back, a characteristic whose one of many major disadvantages is a tendency to run late. Apparently Cusack is laid back to point of maybe laying down. The account sounds more to me like an actor pissed that he isn't getting paid like Cusack does, when he shows up on time and knows all his lines, dang it. That just isn't fair, because lord knows that Cusack is the only senior staff at any job who gets perks and advantages that no one else does.

[Moviefan1234]

John Cusack is the tits.

[Lindsey]

LOVED him in Con Air.

Identity wasn't bad either...

I don't think he's a douche though. But if you're late, then thats rude as hell!

And this is why I look forward to Bubba's response.

Every time.

Maybe they meant "endearing" characters? :confused:

Wow... If that's true... Wow... She's okay though right? RIGHT?!;)

I've not been disappointed yet. :cool:

an asshole**

[eljefe15]

John Cusack can do no wrong in my book. I don't care if he shit in their lunch, he's still the man!

I have to agree with you. Apart from about four or five movies he has made in the past six years, he really can't do wrong in my book either. Grosse Point Blank and High Fidelity...two of the greatest Cusack films I have ever seen.

[hrdude]

Any film with Cusak in it is worth consideration.
