Tom Cruise was “deeply moved” by his role in new World War Two movie Valkyrie, the actor told a German magazine.
Valkyrie stars Cruise as Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg, a Prussian aristocrat involved in a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler.
“All I can say is that I was deeply moved by the experience,” Cruise told Bunte magazine.
When the movie was first announced German critics were worried about how the subject would be treated by Hollywood.
But initial reviews this week have been favorable.
