Encounters with Tom Cruise

Supposedly he's a very nice guy. Has anyone seen him in person?

God, that pic of Nicole . . . who the hell saw that gorgon and thought she'd look great on the screen (aside from Medusa in CotT)?

Re: Tom, my uncle (Hollywood guy) has had interactions with him (he doesn't know him personally). Said he's nice generally, but also something akin to a toddler battling fatigue.

I've met him. He used to come into a store I used to run twenty years ago when I was in retail and he was really very, very nice and outgoing. Intense eyes--almost entirely unblinking--when he talks to you. Very big on smiling. Lots of energy. I really liked when he would come in, despite to this day thinking he's a fucking psycho nutcase. But in person? Very nice. And--bonus points--he did not try to lure me into Scientology, thank God.

But he did fuck my hole raw.

(Kidding.)

That's your opinion and I completely respect that point of view. I would even agree, depending on the specific movie, but I've seen her really shine in a number of flicks. But I just really like her so my bias clouds my judgement. She does more than one movie a year. One performance can be typical Nicole while another might show her really get into a role. At best she's inconsistent.

In the early 90s I was a realtor in Greenwich Village and downtown neighborhoods, and would sometimes sell a condo unit in the American Felt Building on East 13th Street. I was considered one of the more known brokers for this address. Tom owned 2 condos there that he connected. Not even the penthouses, it was on the 9th floor if I recall. This was a very nice converted factory for upscale people, but not movie star caliber. He was already a major movie star and would still use them when in NYC. The units were under Mapother (his real last name). Sometimes when he was in town, young girls would hear this and wait in front of the building. Paparazzi didn't really exist like today. I saw him more than once and he is really short. I am 6 ft. and felt like Wilt Chamberlain next to him. I was in my late 20s and pretty good looking, college baseball player's body, and he never once gave me the gay vibe. Calvin Klein model Marcus Schenkenburg lived around the corner on 4th Avenue and that is a whole other story.... a good one too! LoL.

R4 I don't deny she's talented; I actually like her acting too. I just have never understood from where the claims of her beauty stem. And that pic above is exemplary of how I see her. She looks like this gangly ginger gal in my grade school class that freaked the shit out of all of us. With that said, I can respect her for her talent.

May not have any idea how much human slave labor is used to help him run his life. His direct employees tend to like him and have nice things to say.

I have met him several times. He is short - it is kind of surprising. I will say 5'5" maybe. I don know he wears lifts in his shoes for public appearances. To the person who said he seems to have a list of questions, that is spot on. He is almost like a robot programmed for social interaction. The smile, the pleasantries it is all eerie. He will look right at you and you think he is interested but there is not a lot behind the eyes. He will never appear interested in a guy in any public situation. He gets escorts and ever since the guy released the story about him wrestling with Cruise he is even more cautious. He has a small list of guys he gets who are all under NDA and paid a retainer. I heard this one but not sure if it is true or not - there are $cientologists who are groomed to be with Cruise. Men his type who are guided to work out and keep fit and "do things" to and for him. This is why he can never leave. Miscavage has tape after tape of Cruise with other men.

In the late 80s, my sister was working in century City and she was in an elevator with him.

He stuck out his hand andher hand said "Hi I'm Tom" she kind of smiled. She said he was really short and she's tiny. She also remembered he had a really big smile which seemed like he had a lot of teeth.

Cruise's first movie role was a small part in Endless Love, and there's no way Franco Zeffireilli didn't tap that ass. If you were a young, cute male, certain things were "expected" of you to get in one of his films. Zeffirelli was a notorious chicken hawk.

I met him for professional reasons. Things got tense between us in front of about 100 people. And Cruise was on a microphone. We challenged each other — but with respect. Afterward, I made him laugh and he was so relieved. He grabbed me by my shoulders and thanked me. (No, this had nothing at all to do with Scientology.) Our exchange was mentioned the next day in a major urban newspaper — without any lurid salaciousness. So I like Tom Cruise. Not all of his movies. My favorite of his is "Risky Business," which holds up very well. And I like "Born on the Fourth of July."

Regarding Kidman, she can be an effective actress but she can never ever play warm. Or likeable. It's almost comical seeing her try to fake it. Like that film where she plays the loving adoptive mother of an Indian boy. It was very akward because everyone knows she doesn't care about her adopted kids. Even Joan Crawford acknowledged her adopted children's existence.

But as a repressed refrigerator ice queen, she can be very good. The Others was probably her best role. And I saw a trailer for her upcoming HBO series that looks incredibly intriguing.

Bryce Dallas Howard said he babysat her a few times when she was a kid. He's friends with Ron Howard and Ron lived in Greenwich, until 2014, at least. He sold his Conyers Farm house then; Howard, not Tom. So the poster upthread who said he had a place in Greenwich, that makes sense.

r59 Dear casting couch troll. Why do you keep doing this? How many days per week do you find yourself suggesting that a handsome young actor needed to fuck a director for a role? I only ask because it's a weird fantasy to you. But these boards arent about your fantasies. You have no actual information. You have no insight.

I have no idea if Hemsworth and Branagh have had sex. I do know that Branagh was very very lucky to get that directing job, he hadn't directed a studio film in over 15 years and probably had zero power in terms of Thor casting. (I'm sure they were interested in his opinion, which is different than having actual power).

For what it's worth: I was in jail (a long time ago) with a guy who told me (us) that he had known Tom when the were both in the local seminary, and they had gotten in trouble by stealing a bottle of sacramental wine. They had taken the wine into the woods, and jerked off together (no contact between them). They didn't get in trouble for jerking off (no one in the seminary knew about that) but because they had been confronted about the missing wine, and had confessed. It all sounded plausible to a former altar boy (me), but it's just a story that was shared with me. He's never really pinged for me, although the rumors go back to when he first arrived on the scene.

I worked as a cashier in a small deli in Westport CT while Tom was filming The Color of Money. He was staying in town with Paul Newman, yes I’m old now but I was a teen then. Homeboy is TEENSY. Under 5’6”. He was nice but you could tell he turned the nice on /off. He was barely recognized by the teens working there. SHORT no lifts and dressed in a short sleeved broadcloth shirt with the shorter shorts 5” inseam with boat shoes, very toothy grin. He paid for subs/prepackaged salads, chips and drinks for 4 people but he was in the store solo.

He also never cut to the front of the line during lunch like so many celebs do on shoots. Though he didn’t actually join the line too much.

Cruise might be a nice man to deal with outside the cult but one might wish he didn't hit and crazily scream at the $cieno slaves either. It sounds like he, as a stumpy, learned already as a young man how to get what he wants by being polite. However his true nature is revealed in the stories told by the Scientologists who've witnessed how lunatic he is. He truly seems to believe he's some kind of a god and other people are below him. Just imagine him going into a rage and hitting you for some tiny little reason because that's apparently what he's done.

R76 stories are from the late 90s and Remini's and the Spielberg/Capshaw saga happened much later. Rumour is Cruise was almost out of Scientology (still a member but not really involved in any church stuff anymore) while working mostly abroad and being married to Kidman in the 90s/00s. Lord Xenu was not happy with that and got to Tom and pulled him back in, probably brainwashing him for a couple of weeks in some secret Scientology compound. He emerged crazier than ever, suddenly divorced Kidman without even giving her a reason and became a super Scieno. The rest of his craziness that followed is very well documented. Kidman probably knew what a bunch of crazy people these Scienos were and was trying to slowly distance herself and her husband from the cult in the 90s. There were stories the couple spent a couple of years in the 90s/early 00s in the UK and Australia without much Scientology influence. Miscavige wasn't happy about it and suddenly Cruise filed for divorce and Kidman was no longer a Scientolgist.

He's revered as a god and nearly 60, I'm sure he's accepted his hight. His short ass had decades to get all the men or woman he wanted, I'm sure there are a ton of six foot actors that would love to have little Tom's career.

The thing is he actually is a good actor. He's more talented than a lot of the actors around right now. Lost so much respect with his crazy antics and cult. I never thought that he would still be doing action movies at his age. Thought he was going to be an oscar-winning actor. He could have been much more.

Tom was born dyslexic and claimed that Scientology cured him of it - I wonder why it couldn't make him taller?!

Tom is a robot and lost his humanity in 1980s

Tom Cruise is like a robot to me. I can't imagine him having sex with anyone, male or female.

Kidman was subjected to the Scientology propaganda machine for years. They pumped out fake story after fake story in order to make her look the ice queen. No one knew what they were capable of back then. Now it's clear she was a victim. I'm sure Katie knew this and made a deal to keep quiet in return for them not doing the same to her

Tom and Holmes look similar enough that it would be hard as hell to tell with certainty if Tom is the father or not. Holmes and Cruise could easily be cousins based on their looks.

^Well, she learned from the best.

That interview with Scarlett was funny. Did Kidman know Scarlett was a candidate for the Tom Cruise girlfriend audition, but she was too smart for this and told them to GFT?

r70 Thanks for the backup. And if the casting couch troll here knew anything about the way Hollywood operates, he would know that it's not anything like his jerk off fantasies of leading men fucking for a part--it's about the thousand or so guys (or women) who think they're fucking someone for a part or representation and after it's over, they end up never getting their call returned. That DOES happen a lot.

I find these boards interesting but get irritated by those who are just engaging in creative writing. As for the casting couch troll--if you want to know who fucked someone for a part, look real hard at the background extras. the cute ones might've given or gotten a bj for that.

Saw him a few years back in NYC at a TimesTalks Q &A. Came across as a very nice guy but I found it funny that unlike at other TimesTalks, questions had to be submitted ahead of time and read by the moderator.

Friend of mine who works for an elite educational institution was asked to “show Tom the sights” while he was in town shooting a movie.

The kicker? He looks EXACTLY LIKE TOM CRUISE. They are even the same height.

I was never clear as to how my friend was “chosen.” Showing people around wasn’t usually part of his job.

It was all very weird.

FWIW, he said Tom, Nicole, the kids and even Tom’s mom were very nice people.

I'm a little younger than Tom, and I've, um, "been around" for a while. I have to say, in all my experiences, I've met TWO men who claimed to have been with Tom ( I met each guy years apart). Both were guys I had picked up, just your typical random hook ups. After our making out, we talked about some of our past sexual experiences. The hottest guys, the most unusual guys, and what famous people we had encountered. Each of these guys had a similar story about Tom. I have no idea if these were true, this is just what they said. They both were not 100% sure it was Tom. Both mentioned that it was very disorientating to meet" him" as you don't usually meet famous people up close in person. So both said they could not be absolutely sure, but that this guy "looked just like him". First of all, both were very reluctant to talk about it. Uncomfortable and even embarrassed. They both indicated that they met him through a blind newspaper ad (this was basically before the mass internet age). The kind of gay or sex newspapers that used to be published that had ads for sex. They both met him in a hotel room (again years apart and in different cities) and that he wanted to "wrestle" with them. Both said he seemed to be in his own world and was very strange. He was short and was very enthusiastic. One said he couldn't be sure it was Tom, because his hair was longer (shoulder length) and he was not a TC fan, and had only really seen him in Top Gun, where he had short hair. But months later he saw and ad for Mission Impossible 2 and freaked out as Toms hair in the ads was the same length as the guy he met in the hotel room. Both said they wrestled with him and then jerked off. No sexual (potentially dangerous) acts occurred, No sucking or fucking. Just some "horseplay" and JO. Stories as told to me first hand. I have no idea if they are actually true, or if these guys were lying or trying to "impress me". But since both guys told very similar stories, years apart, and both did not want to go into details, it made me think they were at the very least being as honest as they could be.

R123 This is the same story a rent boy told about a decade ago about being paid to spend time with Tommy. Tommy apparently showed up wearing a singlet and had the rent boy put one on, too. Then they wrestled around, and afterward, they both jacked off,

I'm pretty sure this is bs and men know if they meet, wrestle or fuck Tom Cruise. Bet there're handlers, bodyguards, NDAs and lots of money involved in any sexual encounters.

He's is not hunting for ass on Grindr or Scruff or picks up twinks at random bars.

by Anonymousreply 125March 26, 2020 7:54 PM

R125 The rent boy who told his story says he was contacted by one of Cruise's handlers, who picked him up, then drove him to a hotel. After the encounter, the handler drove the rent boy back to WeHo.

(R127) The guys I talked to gave very little information. They seemed afraid to speak. I barely got that info out of them. And who knows if they changed some minor details to protect themselves.. It was an awkward and brief conversation both times.

I worked on 'Mission: Impossible 2' as an extra for a couple of days when it filmed in Sydney, Australia. Tom Cruise was part of my scene. It was meant to be a Spanish religious procession. I was on one end of the street with the procession extras and Tom was on the other end. When the scene starts, we walk towards each other. So, actually, I didn't meet him but there is one mid shot where I share the screen with Tom in the movie. However, I knew other extras who were starting on the other side where Tom was and they all said that he was really, really nice and chatty and friendly with all the extras there. Also, there were strong rumours back then that Tom had it in all his contracts that film producers would stop extras from looking him in the eyes. Anyway, that was crap. Nobody told us to avoid Tom, and from what I could see, he was happily chatting to the extras in between shots. Also, before filming started, the extras would wait for hours before being taken to the set. We would get dinner there. I sat at a table with this Spanish man who was Tom's driver while shooting the movie. Because the scene was set in Spain and he had hours to waste while waiting for Tom to finish shooting, he got drafter to be an extra too since he was Spanish (the ad looking for extras said they were looking for people who looked Spanish). I'm Spanish too and we got to talking and he told me that Tom and Nicole were living in separate houses (this was before they broke up and Nicole was filming 'Moulin Rouge' in Sydney at the time). And then the next year, they announced their separation.

I tend to believe that Scientology takes care of his sexual needs, male or female. They take good looking recruits and brainwash them to thinking they are doing Xenu's work by having sex with Tom.

in one of his earlier movies, all the right moves, he did brief full frontal and he was not small, it was above average imo

by Anonymousreply 135March 27, 2020 2:51 AM

Was that really him, though? Usually if you can't see the actor's face or the back of his head it's a body double. I know we saw his face in the ass shot in that movie, but not in the cock shot.

Never met him, knew of someone who worked with him outside of Hollywood.

He’s dumb. Painfully so. I expect the reported blank look is due to a lack of the genuine interest born of a true intellect. Also explains why he’s so programmable.
