Sir Tom Cruise 🙄

[GeorgianaM]

Tom Cruise is getting a Knighthood for services to the film industry!

I don’t think I’ve seen him in anything for 20/30 years!

Why are we rewarding a man who earns millions just for pretending to be someone else and speaking the words that someone else has written and who is instructed where to stand, sit, walk and move around?

A man who has not seen his daughter since she was 7 years old nearly 12 years ago!

Showing your ignorance there, OP – the first Mission: Impossible film helped revive Pinewood Studios in the UK and Cruise has filmed dozens of movies here since. As an actor and a producer, he has poured millions, if not billions, into the UK economy.

Waa haa haaaaaa! Oh I needed that giggle, thank you! 😆

I'd like to see Posh get a Damehood for services to fashion. Great eyeliner pencils.

What ridiculous click bait nonsense. THIS was in the Daily Mail (sorry!)

The article actually says (it's behind a paywall but I clipped this before it disappeared!)

Will it be: 'Arise, Sir Tom Cruise?'
Sources close to the matter say that 'Cruise's team have been sounded out' about the possibility of a knighthood – and believe that he may get the award as soon as next month in King Charles's Birthday Honours.

So, apparently, sources are saying that 'Tom's 'team' are sounding out the possibility of a knighthood.' NOT that he is getting one! LOL why should he get one?! I like Tom and @GeorgianaM you are wrong that he has not done anything for 20+ years, but he doesn't deserve a knighthood!

He's a creepy twat.

He does indeed spend a lot of time in Britain
.I used to live a couple of mile from one of Europes main Scientology churches. He shopped in Sainsbury's, got fuel for his red Ferrari. People I know who met him,said he was pleasant and polite and engaging.

it will be honourary but good for him saved the box office after covid does alot in the uk

Well, he lives in bronley in south east london for part of the year, his daughter lives a few monites from his house in croydon. Hes been in quite a few things recently. Hes a great actor and is very talented stuntman. I am not sure about his british citizenship though?

Have you been living under a rock, he's been in loads of films.

You’re right, of course. How could I have forgotten The Don 😎

He's a Scientologist, which is culty and he's done a lot of high level schmoozing on their behalf. Katie Holmes supposedly left him to stop Suri being sucked in.

But how could we tell? Mr & Mrs B's faces look so botoxed smooth that they could be feeling the heights of euphoria or the depths of despair but they wouldn't be able to show anything other than a slightly pained grimace. 😬.

Michael Palin for me.

Tom Cruise is practically a British resident, a lot of his movies are made here. His contribution to the film industry is massive.

And you’ve missed all the movies he’s been in the last two decades, you should get out more.

Of course there aren’t “sources” about Cruise not seeing his daughter. He filed a $50 million lawsuit against the last publication that talked about him not using his visitation. 😂

I had a professor use it as an example of public image management in one of my classes. No one was interested in drawing his legal ire after that.

We're not ever really going to know what happened with him and Suri. Katie agreed not to speak about the divorce in exchange for the settlement and full custody. Given she left in the middle of the night with the aid of her (lawyer) dad, I don't think she fancied handing Suri over for a sleepover and a McDonalds every Saturday.

He won’t be Sir because he’s American. He’ll be KBE.

When I saw the Princess of Wales giving him the cold shoulder clutch bag when he tried to escort her up some steps I KNEW there was something going on…

Upstart! Imposter! Know your place, man!

Maybe OP was trying to be witty by implying that she doesn’t watch mainstream stuff because it’s too common for her. She’s only into indie cinema, very posh you know.

I don’t think it’s quite the flex she expected it to be.

whats the issue with not giving David Beckham one? Sports professionals with lesser or comparable achievements have been given them.

This is ridiculous.

Some excellent information about the honours system available

LOLOL That was also my first thought 🤣

The “knighthood” system is a load of nonsense.

Personally, I don’t like him either. However, at least he entertained a few people along the way.

More than can be said for Dyson and Martin. Exploitative wankers,, both.

The honours system is ridiculous
