While it's been three decades since 'Jerry McGuire' was released, Jonathan Lipnicki has continued to count on his co-star Tom Cruise for advice in the industry. "It's this energy I've never felt before, it's his presence it's his drive and his kindness and understanding," he said of Cruise while chatting on the most recent episode of 'Pod Meets World.' "I'm always going to look up to that guy, he has been incredible to me."Lipnicki, who was just five years old when he scored the role of Ray Boyd, has kept in touch with Cruise throughout the years, mentioning that while they "haven't talked in a bit" the 'Top Gun' star has "great response time" whenever he's reached out.

"I went to his house in my twenties and I met with him and he gave me advice," the 'Stuart Little' star said. "All his advice was about hard work and being kind to others and showing up early and staying late."
More recently, the actor recalled how he reached out via email when 'Top Gun: Maverick' was casting and asked him for an audition.
"I emailed him and said, 'Hey I don't know if you think I'm right for this, but if you think I'm right I'd love to audition for it' [and] he got me an audition."
"I auditioned for a few different roles," he shared. "It didn't go my way, because it wasn't meant to happen, but the fact that he gave me that opportunity and the opportunity he had given me to do 'Jerry Maguire'...he didn't have to but he did.

As for what Lipnicki thinks has solidified Cruise in his mega superstar status?
"I think it's the work ethic," he said. "I think it's the just the drive to bring the best product to the audience. He's not a person who underestimates an audience, he respects his audience, he respects the people who watch his movies so he's going to put his life on the line several times to do that."
However, Lipnicki, who has continued to act and has also pursued mixed martial arts, admitted that he does not receive one of Cruise's holiday coconut cakes.
