Tom Cruise likes to answer phones

November 30th, 2005 // 33 Comments

tcruise_phone.jpgA phone went off during a press conference for Mission: Impossible 3 in Shanghai today, and Tom Cruise apparently took it out of the reporter’s hands and started talking to the person on the other line.

When a reporter in the middle of a press conference took a phone call, the star reached over and removed the cell phone from the journalist’s hand

    I thought the Tom Cruise behaving-in-strange-ways-that-make-people-uncomfortable/afraid phase was coming to an end, but apparently the saga continues. It is only a matter of time before he takes over the airways and proclaims himself Lord Xenon, Ruler of the World. He really is all kinds of crazy.

    Motion carried. Tom Cruise is banned from mention forever.

    Too bad the reporter didn’t turn out to be a ninja.

    I almost wish the reporter’s wife had been calling to report that their children were kidnapped or their house burned down. Then maybe Cruise would at least begin to realize what a huge douche bag he is.

    Tom Cruise is a delusional, self-absorbed idiot. If KatIE hasn’t converted yet, she needs to get some Lithium and start slipping it into his herbal tea – PRONTO.

    What a dickhead.

    Things Cruise has been called thus far:
    Lord Xenon Ruler of the World, crazy, huge douche bag, asshole, tori (but not!), delusional self-absorbed idiot dickhead, and a gay alien.

    I LOVE YOU PEOPLE

    Hey, I think Cruise is just as crazy as the next guy, but come on. A reporter’s cellphone went off during a press conference, and HE ANSWERED IT. How rude is that? And yet, some how Tom Cruise is the asshole in this situation? I’m a college student, and in a lot of my classes we have a rule similar to this situation – if a student’s phone goes off in class, the teacher gets to answer it, because taht student *is a jackass* for not turning his phone off.

    It doesn’t matter if it’s rude or not, it’s downright obnoxious to talk on someone else’s phone. Gah, that’s far ruder than answering a call. As far as we know, it could have been for urgent news, and the reporter could’ve been keeping an ear out for that important call from his wife. Lordy lordy.

    Downright rude, Tom! I would punch him square in the face >:|

    And LOL, the Russel Crowe part made me laugh :D

    Good point Stephen. I’m at University, too, and if someone is rude enough to answer in the middle of a class, all bets are off.

    Even so… Tom Cruise. eck. Is it my imagination or is he looking more and more like Liberace?

    Sorry but I think gay men (who will not come out) inseminating young dumb ass girls is just what the world needs.

    Come forth, ye gay men, and impregnate the most stupid bitch on earth….

    Supposing the reporter’s wife had been kidnapped and the kidnappers forced her to call her husband, and then that yahoo Cruise commandeers the husband’s phone. Oh, the possibilities for a story!

    While it may have been rude for the cell phone to go off in the first place, isn’t it worse that Cruise answered it? He may have been trying to make a statement that this was his time, and he gets to answer all the phones that ring on “his time”, but he just came off like an arrogant prick. Has he always been this way?

    He may be a nice enough guy to Katie because she does whatever he wants, but what happens when they argue? Does he try to stare death beams at her head?

    Someone should really take him out from a high building. We’ll see how invincible he is then….

    Celebrities want to be treated like regular people when it suits them, but then sh!t like this happens…love how that works.

    If your phone goes off at the movie theater and you answer and start talking, and I pull it out of your hand and start talking, am I the asshole? That’s all I’m saying?

    Hello to all intelligent folks commenting, but Tom Cruise was NOT in class at a University nor is he a college professor (although he may be under the impression that he is a professor and a doctor/surgen), but nontheless. Although he doesn’t realize it, he lives in the real adult world where you don’t act like you are a psycho-killer alien worshipper on the loose.
    What!!? People are defending TOM CRUISE????

    Well, yeah, you are. Along with the person who owns the phone.

    Ew. Nothing Gwhiny does is cute. In fact, she’s so obnoxious, I don’t know why she doesn’t just bite the bullet and become a Scientologist.

    Tom Cruise is an arrogant ASSHOLE!!!!!
    Iused to have neutral feelings about the guy until the matt lauer interview when he revealed himself to be a collosal DICKHEAD!
    Since when is he an expert on psychiatry??
    What medical school did he graduate from? I am sick to death of arrogant movie stars who parade themselves as all-knowing experts on subjects they have absolutely NO educational background in. Tom doesn’t even have a community college degree in basket weaving, let alone medicine!! Why should anyone take medical advice from this asshole!? I would rather eat ground glass and wash it down with the bodily fluids of a skunk than see another Tom Cruise movie!!!!

    He was just trying to rip off the reporter’s buxton cell phone wallet. They’re cheap over there, you don’t have to grab it off a poor reporter.
