Shah Rukh Khan has received massive praise from American actor Terry Crews, who compared the superstar’s international fame to Tom Cruise and Cristiano Ronaldo. The America’s Got Talent host called SRK a true example of Indian talent that has conquered the world.
Terry Crews recently opened up about his admiration for Bollywood and its biggest star in a candid interview. The Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor drew powerful comparisons that highlight just how far Shah Rukh Khan’s stardom has reached beyond Indian borders.
Terry Crews Calls Shah Rukh Khan A Global Icon
In a recent interview with ETimes, Terry Crews did not hold back his praise for the Jawan actor. He said, “I would love to dance, just like the stars in Bollywood. I want to mention how Shah Rukh Khan has become this super international star. I haven’t met him yet, but I’m looking forward to that.”
The Hollywood star went on to make a striking comparison. “To me, he is a true example of Tom Cruise level Indian talent that has taken over the world. His brand and his name are like those of Cristiano Ronaldo. Its enormous,” Terry added.
This comparison speaks volumes. Just like Tom Cruise dominates Hollywood and Cristiano Ronaldo rules football, Shah Rukh Khan has established himself as the undisputed king of Bollywood with a massive fan following that spans continents.
Hollywood Star Loves Bollywood’s Musical Magic
Beyond praising SRK, Terry Crews also expressed his deep love for Bollywood’s unique style of filmmaking. The actor, who revealed he is a dancer first, spoke about how Indian cinema’s incorporation of music and dance is something he truly misses in American films.
“Everybody around the globe wants what India has simply because it really satisfies a need in so many ways. I’m a big fan of music and dance. When you look at the culture and the way they’ve incorporated big musical performances into the movies, you don’t get that in America,” Terry explained.
He added that such musical spectacles only come along once in a blue moon in Hollywood, citing Wicked as an example. “When I watch these major stars dancing to the amazing music, I miss it. It reminds me of the old Hollywood,” the actor said.
Terry Crews Shows Love To Bollywood Stars
Terry has been connecting with Bollywood lately. Earlier in December, he shared a photo with actor Ranveer Singh at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and congratulated him on the success of Dhurandhar. “Me and the great Ranveer Singh at Abu Dhabi GP! Congrats on DHURANDHAR,” he wrote on social media.
The Hollywood actor’s appreciation for Indian cinema and its stars shows how Bollywood’s influence continues to grow on the global stage.
