If you enjoyed Tom Cruise’s gloriously OTT performance as studio boss Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder, prepare to get happy: sounds like he’s not done swearing, dancing or threatening his minions.

E! Online talked to Cruise after he was nominated for a Golden Globe thanks to his Tropic turn, and the actor/producer admitted he wanted to stick with the lardy ogre.

I’ve talked about doing different videos with the character. I’ve started working with Ben Stiller on it, and we’ve kind of talked about different things to do. We were gonna do some in our free time, but we haven’t found the free time…yet."

Full-length movie?

And according to Cruise, he’d also be up for a full-length Grossman outing. "He’s a fun character. I gotta talk to Ben, but there could be more to do with that guy."

Yeah, we’re not so sure we want all Les, all the time – like curry, he’s fun in certain doses, but you’ll eventually get sick of him. Still, pump out a few Funny Or Die videos and we’ll happily watch ‘em.

Question: Do you want more Les? Or is less of Les more than enough?
