Used to be one of The top movie stars in the world. Not even Tom Cruz has thrown it all away yet. Smith managed it though.

From pretty much all reports Tom Cruise is generally really nice to people. If you’re a nice weirdo then whatever, they’re Hollywood people, they’re all weirdos.

But if you’re an asshole weirdo, that’s when people won’t like you anymore.

Ton Cruise is incredibly successful, vastly more successful than better people with no baggage. It’s kind of weird because Cruise’s cult is way, way worse than the slap. But Cruise also seems to be more talented and outwardly likable and his cult is pretty good at staying hidden.

Cruise can pull on that star power like no one else.
Everyone knows the shit cult he’s in, but when he’s in a movie it doesn’t matter. Even basically kidnapping Katie Holmes didn’t stop him. I can only imagine how much of an insufferable asshole he is day to day, but he still rocks as an actor.

From what I’ve heard he’s a legit nice dude.

I think about that interview with Spielberg where he refused to make a comment about Julia Roberts. Julia Roberts only ever appeared in one Spielberg movie. He’s Steven Spielberg, he doesn’t have to work with assholes if he doesn’t want to.

Tom Cruise has appeared in multiple Spielberg movies. I take that as a sign he’s not an asshole. He’s just in a fucked up cult.

If you’re one of the most charismatic men in the world, what you actually believe is much less important to people.

That’s the thing. You see Tom in interviews and he’s actually talking to the interviewers and making jokes and stuff. He is likable.

He’s also one of the only celebrities I’m okay with separating art from artist. He makes some goddamn entertaining movies.

Dude understands what makes a movie work. So if Tom Cruise is involved with a movie it’s likely to be really good.

It’s a kind of “say what you will about Tom Cruise, but the man knows story structure” kind of things.

Yeah it’s hard not respect his professional work. He is one of the few people making modern day action movies fused with old-school elements.

Also, Cruise doesn’t go around championing his cult to outsiders as far as I’m aware so it kind of makes it easy for people to ignore it.

True, he doesn’t push it on outsiders. He is number two in the cult though and makes speeches and stuff for them regularly. His best friend is the head guy.

Didn’t he jump on Oprah’s sofa yelling about how they’re going to save the world?

No he was excited about marrying Katie Holmes.

Also Tom and Will are both Scientologists (or were, I don’t keep up) so that part at least cancels out.

Will and Jada have some suspicious ties to the Church and its beliefs too. They’ve denied being part of it but some instances are so overt that it’s likely true.

Fucking seriously. Dude was a massive box office draw and on top of that had had a truly wholesome career. He was well respected. Could really act…had solid comedy chops. Very few true stinkers in his IMDB page. And he threw it all away for a bitch who LAUGHS about cheating on him.

I hate the word because of right wing fucks but there is no other way to describe it. He’s a fucking cuck.

His wife even gloated about fucking thier kids friend. Dude could have had any woman in the world and he picked that bitch.

Thats what I will never understand. Maybe sticking with her after cheating? but to LAUGH ABOUT IT IN AN INTERVIEW.

It’s just abuse and people are most often helpless to leave. Actors are just normal bags of meat too.

Tupac didn’t want her, think he banged her a few times and realized how nuts she is.

Only bullet Tupac ever dodged.
