The Truth About Tom Cruise

The water gun incident

In 2005, Tom Cruise was doing press on the red carpet of the London premiere of War Of The Worlds. One man was posing as a reporter and when Cruise came over to take part in his interview, he squirted him with a water pistol disguised as a normal microphone.

Upon the incident occurring, Tom was irked and hit back at the prankster, “Why would you do that? Do you like thinking less of people? Is that it?” Before the man tried to get away, Tom reached over the barrier and grabbed him, saying “Don’t run away. That’s incredibly rude. I’m here giving you an interview and you do that … it’s incredibly rude.” The actor grew increasingly frustrated and finally hit back “You’re a jerk.”
