31 years? That is a little gross Tom and it says so so much about you and none of it good imo.

cheesy - I've just seen the photo on MSN - she really is Katie's double

Queenbean · 23/07/2015 15:41

Brilliant, another beard to cover up tom's "alternative" lifestyle desires!

nigelslaterfan · 23/07/2015 15:43

I think 30 years is a bit creepy, 30 years!

I thought he was cooling in his Scientology thing?

I think Katie Holmes has such cahoonas with him. But her dad is a heavyweight lawyer so she has had access to knowing her all her rights.

Well Tom Cruise is GAY, so yes this latest farcical situation is entirely unreasonable. These 'marriages' of his are all about appearances. If she goes through with it I'm guessing it will last until she wants to have a family - which given her young age could be about 10 years. He had a 10-year deal with Nicole Kidman, so that seems to be his form.

CheesyNachos · 23/07/2015 15:46

aha! Thanks. Found it.

The80sweregreat · 23/07/2015 15:48

She should run for the hills as Katie did and Nicole kidman before her. He is so odd. Good with the fans at film premieres, about the only nice thing about him ( just my opinion of course!) ..

redshoeblueshoe · 23/07/2015 15:48

I imagine Scientology have too much on him for him to leave.

Pasithea · 23/07/2015 15:49

Where is it said apart from here that he is gay

nigelslaterfan · 23/07/2015 15:51

I know this is considered orthodoxy but I don't see why we all know he's gay.

I mean we all know he's weird for certain. We only have to see him with Oprah to know that he is really weird two minutes after his PR rep leaves him and before he can be managed back into a box marked 'normal behaviour for an A lister'.

I don't think sexuality is nearly as cut and dried as everyone thinks. I can imagine him being omnisexual, bi-sexual, whatever or to move merrily between the various positions in various positions. Why not? I wouldn't hold any of that against him. I don't think all these women would marry him if he didn't have some hetero inclinations. It seems implausible that he is just one thing. Artists have the freedom to do it all, particularly rich ones.

I think John Travolta is definitely gay.

I think Tom Cruise is probably bi.

hellsbellsmelons · 23/07/2015 15:52

alledgedly of course

AngularMurky · 23/07/2015 15:54

Aww I quite like Tom. He raised his and Nicole's children when she lost interest in the kids.
Don't think Scientology is much weirder than mainstream religions TBH.

MitzyLeFrouf · 23/07/2015 15:56

I don't think NK lost interest, I think the forces of Scientology had her frozen out. Suppressives I think they call people who leave Scientology.

redshoeblueshoe · 23/07/2015 15:57

Pasit - all over the internet, you could start with the Ben Fellows interview

nigelslaterfan · 23/07/2015 15:58

I don't think we know what anyone is, even when people declare it. I think sexuality is not a fixed position over a lifetime.

And I don't mind a closet homosexual in this culture given our hostility to homosexuality until relatively recently. But I do object to a gay person opposing gay rights. Having said that, in a democracy I shouldn't dictate what another person chooses to vote.

There was a documentary the other week about scientolgy one of the original member escaped left anyway they showed footage of an award thing tom was getting there was saluting and big woop woops tom was loving if it was really sinister his new girl friend will have been handpicked for him

Backforthis · 23/07/2015 15:58

Lost interest!!! The children were raised in Scientology and told she was a 'suppressive person'. Her children were effectively taken from her.

jellyjiggles · 23/07/2015 16:01

He's slimy, controlling, manipulative, odd and generally highly unappealing!

She really should stay clear.

nigelslaterfan · 23/07/2015 16:02

Reading between the lines it looks like Cruise's access to his daughter is related to Scientology. Holmes looks like she is playing hardball. She looks so tough to me and good for her.

Sweet. Ages with his daughter. She and Isabella will have so much in common.

NatGeo · 23/07/2015 16:04

Pasithea If its said on MN, then it IS fact! don't you know ? MN is a body of evidence in its own right Grin

PrimalLass · 23/07/2015 16:05

If she is stupid enough to marry him then more fool her.

TheSpottedZebra · 23/07/2015 16:05

I think that this is just the latest in a line of PR -fed stories to remind us that he's a big manly man's man. No, not that kind. And to create buzz for the forthcoming MI5 movie. I don't thonk that here actually together. But yes, all is other couplings have been odd. I'd love to know what really went on, and wih Penelope Cruz too - no one seems to remember that she was 'with' him for years.

TheSpottedZebra · 23/07/2015 16:06

She's the same age as his eldest daughter, that's dodge isn't it?

NickiFury · 23/07/2015 16:06

NK didn't lose interest. She didn't have a shit hot father and brother lawyer team behind her telling her exactly how to get rid of TC and minimise his contact with Suri the way that KH did. I reckon KH has something big on him and that's why he has relinquished contact with his daughter with minimum fuss.
