Went to see Mission Impossible 156 last night and came away looking at Mr Scientology in a new light.

He was THE biggest movie star in the world for a long time but I've never thought of him as sexy. Maybe it's my advancing age (37).

Off to YouTube him.

I love him as that character (mission impossible 2 did it for me!).

In RL not so much!

Wacadu · 04/08/2018 09:56

I was the same when i saw him do the lip syncing thing with Jimmy Fallon. Never liked him before then and slowly weaning myself off now. Grin Maybe I won't go and see that film.

I've loved him for years, I think his films are great and he seems a nice man, a bit odd in his beliefs though!

I am sorryFlowers. I have no expertise in this but I am sure someone will come along soon who will be able to point you in the direction of the appropriate organisations who can offer you help. Hang on in there.

JakeBallardswife · 04/08/2018 10:01

I quite like him too!

CoffeebyIV · 04/08/2018 10:02

I was watching A Few Good Men last night forgot how good looking he was in that.

QueenOfMyWorld · 04/08/2018 10:04

U are BU there is never can excuse to fancy Tom Cruise post Top Gun,seek help immediately!

MrsDarcyIwish · 04/08/2018 10:04

Have always thought he's sex on legs but can't deny he's more than a little....bizarre.

Top Gun and Cocktail for me though 😁

littleFearOfHumans · 04/08/2018 10:05

He has a tooth in the middle of his face.

Give your head a wobble!

AfterSchoolWorry · 04/08/2018 10:06
Confused

He's a deranged fool.

XiCi · 04/08/2018 10:07

How did you miss the Top Gun days!!!

flumpybear · 04/08/2018 10:08

Real life = dick!
Apparently he doesn't let those not worthy even look at him 😱 what a cock!

Movie life = I would lol 😆 but let's face it he just knows what cool is - IRL he can't pull it off!

MisstoMrs · 04/08/2018 10:09

I hear you but...isn’t it a bit weird he looks exactly the same now as he did in top gun / cocktail days...?

FASH84 · 04/08/2018 10:09

and he seems a nice man, a bit odd in his beliefs though!

Erm he controlled his wife, including insisting on silence during child birth, he tried to force his beliefs on his child to get detriment, and is only a member of a so called religion he was able to pay to become powerful within. Classic DV traits.... You're all odd

Thatssomebadhatharry · 04/08/2018 10:12

I’ll never forgive the tiny string of piss for Jack Reacher!! Never!!

MissusGeneHunt · 04/08/2018 10:14

Sorry, Bryan Brown trumped TC in Cocktail... Top Gun, deffo....

lasttimeround · 04/08/2018 10:16

Ive always rated him as an actor. As a guy he gives me the creeps.

KarlDilkington · 04/08/2018 10:16

@Confusedbeetle I think you may have attached the wrong photo??

WhipItGood · 04/08/2018 10:16

I love the Mission Impossible films. I’ve also enjoyed a lot of other films he’s been in. So yes I think he’s very good at what he does.

What he does outside of acting doesn’t particularly interest me tbh.

DontDrinkDontSmoke · 04/08/2018 10:18

Everyone who has ever worked with him says he’s a great guy.

I can’t stand the creep and think there should be special aversion therapy for those with a crush on him Grin

Ubicorn · 04/08/2018 10:20

Eurgh repulsive little slimeball of a man. Do not discuss this with anyone irl or you risk becoming alienated by loved ones Flowers

tattyheadsmum · 04/08/2018 10:21

Oooh this thread is timely! We watched Mission Impossible 2 last night and he was super hot in that one. I don’t know if it was the lighting or what but I think that’s when he peaked. (And it has Thandie Newton in it, who is amazing too). But, yes, in RL, mad as a box of frogs.

FASH84 · 04/08/2018 10:21

@DontDrinkDontSmoke DH worked in the film industry for more than ten years, including with TC, he does not say that.... But then he's in a different industry now so doesn't have to play the game anymore
