- Notice
Please tell me Hayley Atwell isn't mixed up with him. He's nuts. His "religion" is a cult. I'll never support any actor who publicly shames a mom for sharing her struggles with PPD. The only people who should be allowed to speak about such issues are qualified, mental health professionals and women who have been pregnant. PERIOD! Not some crazy, overrated, little man, whose "read books." Congratulations you are literate. I fail to see what this has to do with anything. If reading a book is all it takes to be a subject matter expert, then somebody get me a book on how to commit the perfect murder.
As for this latest mess he's gotten himself into, I am genuinely surprised by how many people in this world think it is socially acceptable to scream like that in your place of employment. I am not blind to what is going on in our word right now. But you don't get to take your stress out on people like that in a public setting. I don't care who you think you are. That's what's wrong with our world right now. People can't pause for a second and imagine what it would feel like if the roles were reversed. I'm certainly not saying actions don't have consequences or that the staff who broke the rules shouldn't be reprimanded. But public humiliation isn't the way to go. I seriously doubt Mr. Prima Donna would bend over and take if someone spoke to him like that.

I suspect he's up there with Cliff Richard in the amount of stuff to come out when he dies.

I have never understood his appeal, he does nothing for me. I perposely avoid any film that he is in, he comes across as false. And I can't stand his cheesy smile.
Does anyone remember the incident at the premier of War of the Worlds when a fake interviewer squirted water at him from a water pistol microphone? He could have been cool and just laughed it off but no, he kicked off big time at the guy who did it and called him a “jerk”. I was actually quite embarrassed for him as he clearly didn’t appreciate being knocked off his pedestal. Narcisissists can’t be the butt of other people’s jokes.

That is just a travesty, even Lee Child wasn't happy! 6 foot 5, 52 inch chest and hands like shovels, little old half pint is NOT Reacher!
I can't be doing with him, cocky little shit.

I can't forgive him for buying the rights to Jack Reacher when it's obvious he's too small to do the character justice.

Also a friend of Dorothy?? Perhaps!!
You don't speak to people like that, simple as. Yes, they were breaking rules and I can't blame him for giving them a telling off but that clip was disgusting and just painted him out as a psycho. And he's part of that abusive cult which in general makes me think it's not the first time he's acted like that. I hate how people are glorifying such behaviour as well - if it had happened in any other context, they would without a doubt be criticising him. I'm not starting a COVID debate but I think it's made some go mad and many have lost a sense of perspective.
Also, it seems like he was also yelling at people who were following the rules (appeared to be a large group and only some were breaking them) though the context isn't 100% clear.

I'll never forget a gossip columnist years ago saying "nothing happens in Hollywood without Tom Cruise's say so. Tom Cruise is Hollywood".
He appears to be a control freak, both in his work and at home.
No time for him, and I've always believed that he's a good actor propped up by a brilliant script, and even more brilliant actors.

Just looking at him gives me the creeps. He is a controlling, misogynist, culty weirdo. Seems to have a massive problem with women in particular, presumably due to his closeted status. Nicole's reaction when she got her divorce though speaks volumes about him. His 'relationship' with actress Nazanin Boniadi makes for interesting reading, too.
He got a lot of plaudits for his role in Magnolia. I really don't think playing that character was too much of a stretch for him.

He's gayer than a maypole.
I absolutely believe TC has slept with men. But unpopular opinion here, I think he is heteroromantic bisexual. Whether it's because it's more socially acceptable or he can't see himself settling down with a man long-term, who knows. I don't get the impression that most of Hollywood is either straight or gay. When it comes to sex a majority of them fall into the category of yes please!

Professionally, I can't think of another actor who puts so much effort and energy into making good movies and maintaining his 'brand'. His colleagues rarely have a bad word to say about him (the Thandie Newton article was taken out of context, IMO). He was a jerk in that clip, but we don't know what lead up to it or how many warnings he'd already given.
His personal life is... unfortunate. I think he was genuinely a victim of the cult originally, but he appears to have swapped over to perpetrator a long time ago. I'd be interested to hear what cult experts/scholars think of him.

If you asked him nicely on the other hand, though....

I'm on the fence, he has shown he can be a fantastic actor(he was amazing in Magnolia) and he works incredibly hard on his films. I have heard hes super nice to people and makes an effort to learn all the crew members names. His personal life though......very very strange.
I cant help that everything he does is highly orchestrated by Scientology, I'd be interested to see how his life and career would be if he hadnt gotten into Scientology back in the day.
Btw i have actually seen the "chateau" in LA and its odd, cameras on all the streets around it and members cycling around the area keeping an eye out for anyone walking past.
