It was amazing to roll on up outside of Grauman's Chinese Theatre to greet the fans and fellow cast members in a motherfucking tank. Him and Sharlto felt on top of the world, though it wasn't their first time in a tank considering they filmed in one for the movie. But still, it was epic. This month was going to be a busy one, or at least the first half of June was. Thomas Quinn was in LA for the premiere of his latest film The A-Team and they would also be attending Spike TV's 4th Annual "Guys Choice Awards" and the 2010 MTV Movie Awards. Then it was back to New York to appear on The Late Show with David Letterman before jetting off to Paris for a photocall.
But all of that was for another day and Tom wasn't worrying about it as he carried a 901 Silver Tequila cocktail in his hand, enjoying the atmosphere at the after party for the premiere were a selection of the attendees and cast members were hanging out. Tom was in his element. He didn't care if people thought it sucked and the movie flopped, he didn't care if the people who had told him this evening that the film was great were lying just to be two-faced or even just to be too nice. He had had a blast filming it, reliving a show he knew his mother was a really big fan of when he was younger. He felt like a big boy playing with toys again during this movie, he got to play with guns, planes and tanks.
It had been an exciting and exhilarating adventure and it really awoke the childlike Tom who would play about with his little army men toys or use an imaginary gun in the backyard. And being able to do stunt work was something else, he had never done a movie of this calibre before. Though he still got to be the comedian and he was still seen as the suave gent, he really worked hard on this. He wanted it to be entertaining and he liked it. So that was good enough for him. He stood with an empty glass which was beyond unacceptable and excused himself from the company of a few folk he didn't know too well to move to the bar - the entire capacity of the Tropicana Bar at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel had been closed off for this after party.
Tom stood tall at his 6ft3 height, dressed dapperly in one of his favourite black three piece suits and he pressed his hands on the bar's countertop, smiling at the petite bartender as came to serve him. "Hey. Can I get a glass of Jameson, please?" he said politely, in his smooth deep voice, giving her a charming smile. He flirted without even realising it sometimes.
