Tom Cruise really surprised me in that one. What a weird and ridiculous character to play and he nailed it. The stupid huge hands and dancing was his request too:
‘Look, I’d love to play this character, but I want to have fat hands and I’m gonna dance.'
I imagine producers were like "odd request, but sure let's roll with it".

Yes, I kept asking myself if that was Tom Cruise but kept doubting myself because it couldn't have been. Eventually I realized that it was indeed Tom Cruise, which made the character even funnier. On top of fat fingers, I think he wore a fat suit in order to play Les too. Talk about sacrificing your handsome and fit image to portray a character.
