Tom Cruise is a jackass

February 5th, 2009 // 120 Comments

Tom Cruise’s stupidity almost caused an international incident while he’s in Brazil promoting his latest movie Valkyrie. Page Six reports:

Cruise tried to ingratiate himself to reporters by saying hola (hello) and gracias (thanks), not realizing that the language of Brazil is Portuguese, not Spanish. Accord ing to Glamurama.com, Cruise also said he fell in love with Brazil watching movies about samba and tango, unaware that tango is an Argentine dance.

Realizing he’d made a faux pas, Tom Cruise quickly relied on his OT training to diffuse the situation. He then asked for his favorite Brazilian dish, General Tso’s Chicken, because Scientology is a fake religion invented by a science fiction writer. Ba doom sha!

  1. Oprah's couch

    The first clue that he was going nucking futz was when he jumped with glee on Oprah’s couch, yet for some reason millions of women found this cute, and endearing… *shudders*

  2. Is that the green giant and the little asparagus helper??

    Is it just me, or does she look like a giant next to him? I mean, not only the height thing, but the MASS as well. What is he, like 5’4″ and 105Lbs??

    I keep reading on the net that Tom is 5’7″ / 5’9″ (and 147Lbs), and I also keep reading that Katie is 5’8″ (and 108Lbs) but she looms over him in heels and even looks thicker than him, so he must be really tiny!

    He would look much better standing next to Hayden Panettiere or Tila Tequila… lol

    Neither of them look good in white.

    Seriously, though, they both look estranged from each other. They don’t even really stand close, and he looks like he’s holding on to her to give the appearance that they’re together.
    She looks unhappy and ghoulish. She looks like she’s sick, actually, with the bags under her eyes and the pallor of her skin. It could just be the white dress though.
    As for height and weight, I think even in flats she’s at least 1″ taller than him. It looks as though there’s only about 10-15lbs in weight difference. But how much can you tell from a photo?

    It’s all just very sad. I feel sorry for her. She used to be a vibrant, seemingly happy, young woman. From these pics it looks like maybe she is starting to realize she made a mistake? Maybe not…

    FK&S!!!

    Or at least have the confidence to stand proudly next to your wife while she’s wearing heels. Like, yeah, my wife is tall and beautiful! He doesn’t look confident, he looks like he’s hiding insecurity behind his creepy ass smile, and trying to keep up with her strides.

    I just realized he’s holding on to her right hand with his right hand. Who does that? That’s what looks so strange about how they’re standing…What is he digging for in his pocket with his left hand, that he can’t hold his wife’s hand the propper way?

    @104 he holds her like that because he’s a m-m-m-midget.

    If Tommygrrl held her right hand with his left it would look like his mother was taking him for a walk.

  6. Oh gee, is it me, or do these two look like posers, and Tom looks gay?

    Who cares what language they speak? They’re all just a bunch of dumb spics anyway.

    Tom is a total douchebag – but i felt the need to clarify that Tango has roots in Brazil and Spain as well as Argentina. Originally called the “Milonga”, there is much debate from these three main countries over where it originated.

    Um Lily, argentinians are not jelous of brazilians, hahahaha where did u get that from? The rivalry is mostly based on football and the fact that both teams are the best you can find in south america,it is a huge deal when they play each other. I agree that brasil is in a different economic situation right now but we don’t hate each other because of that, our presidents actually really get along and help each other. How can you be jelous of a country that has such serious problems with its security and problems handling the favelas and drug trafficking. I think you got it wrong, either you are not from here (and did not get your facts straight) or you are a resentful brazilian still pissed off because you got eliminated from the last world cup with a shameful performance hahahaha. But it sounds quite ridic to be jelous of another country’s economy hahahaha.
    @108 yes, you are right. But he did not say that he studied the origins of tango but that he fell in love with brazil watching movies about tango… I’ve never seen a movie about tango that speaks about brazil, usually it is related to argentina. He is a douche.

  10. more stuff to see this jackass

    Tom Cruise

  11. He was on a chat show in the UK recently claiming to have learned German for Valkyrie, when the host said a couple of words in the most basic schoolboy German imaginable Cruise was completely dumbfounded.
    Pants found to be totally on fire.

    Dumbass $cientologist…I guess Xenu made him do it, eh?

  13. gigi

    awww… poor Katie – she has this look of ‘help me’ in almost every shot…. and we can’t forget– TCLTC [perhaps still Rob Thomas'?]

  14. Toonkinstein

    WHY the hell does he hold her hand like he is walking his granny accross the street?….

    never mind! Rhetorical question…..

  15. I dont think you should blame Cruise, but his poor PR team. tbfh i dont know what language is spoken in a thouand countries, i only know those the media shows me. Brazil is the only non spaish speaking country in south america, you cant balme ppl for not guessing we (im brazillian) speak portuguese.
    He couldnt give a dam about what we speak as i dont give (or i know) what they speak in Luxemburg by example.

    The thing is he does have people (as any public person should) who are paid to reasearch and find out tango isnt our dance and Spanish isnt our language.

    He should just fire those ppl for making him look like an idiot, being he a real one or not

  16. Well, so Mr. Cruise has an issue with free speech and Viacom bows to his pressure. Guess I’ll have to have an issue with Viacom. How DARE they decide what the public can or cannot watch based on the whims of one man and his pretend religion. I’m disgusted.
