Randy Quaid calls Anne Hathaway "horrible choice" for Days Of Thunder sequel he may or may not be in

The actor turned conspiracy theorist demands Tom Cruise dump Anne Hathaway for Nicole Kidman, of all people.

Randy Quaid calls Anne Hathaway

The announcement that Tom Cruise was trying to recapture that lucrative, decades-later Top Gun: Maverick sequel magic with a remake of 1990 race car drama Days Of Thunder appeared poised to bring long-absent Randy Quaid back into at least the periphery of the Star Whackers’ territory—at least according to the 75-year-old actor. Announcing in a video on Twitter/X last week, “Tom Cruise just called me. We’re making Days of Thunder 2!,” Quaid’s very unverified claim (neither Cruise nor Paramount have commented) was then followed by the questionably associated actor (who played boisterous NASCAR Tim Daland in the Tony Scott-directed original) publicly demanding that the sequel’s just-announced leading lady be replaced. 

“Anne Hathaway is a leftist, woke, horrible choice for DAYS OF THUNDER NASCAR audience who are MAGA,” Quaid posted on X, before citing Hathaway’s current pregnancy as rendering her “not sexy” enough to play the 64-year-old Cruise’s love interest in the 2028 film. Quaid then naturally began making profane demands for Cruise to instead cast his ex-wife Nicole Kidman to reprise her role as Dr. Claire Lewicki in the sequel, despite Cruise and Kidman’s very public and acrimonious 2001 divorce. 

Taunting his onetime costar as a “pussy” if he doesn’t ditch Hathaway for a no-doubt uninterested Kidman, Quaid opined, “If I were in control of production, a real sequel worth watching for DAYS OF THUNDER would be seeing Tom and Nicole together on screen again. We don’t need a new girl; we need a new race car!” (It should be reiterated at this point that Randy Quaid is in no way in control of the production of a major studio sequel.) 

Once-beloved character performer Quaid hasn’t been doing much professional acting since his infamous 2010 claims that “Hollywood Star-Whackers” were trying to murder him and his wife, Evi for… reasons. Indeed, Quaid has appeared in just two unheralded productions since then, if you don’t count the couple’s as-yet unreleased 2011 documentary “Star Whackers,” which purports to explain the nefarious reasons the Oscar nominee has become a conspiracy-spewing, Trump-loving figure of fun and/or pity over the last few decades.
