I take such issue w/ interviewer Colm Connolly’s second question more like a statement, “There were all kinds of stories that there were bad feelings on the set while you were making it…(?)” 

Tom had even given him an easy starter for a different line of questioning, when the guy said, “Welcome to Ireland!” Tom said, “Thank you, it’s good to be back.” That was an opportunity to ask him, “Oh, when were you here last? Was it when you were filming Far and Away?”

Like, Colm, c’mon, you really think Tom’s going to say, “Yeah I was an incredible diva and I upset everyone around me with my insane demands and jealousy over Brad’s intense hawtness bc he is going to replace me in Hollywood and I am so worried about getting older omgz-” ??! At the PREMIERE for his movie? ON CAMERA? Just bc you ASKED?

No. 

Don’t stir up drama. 

Especially Don’t stir up drama at the premiere for his movie.
