TOM CRUISE: PROTECTED BY SCIENTOLOGISTS?

Tom Cruise is moving from city to city promoting Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning at premiers and he is always surrounded by what looks like dozens of burly security guys. Tom likes to chat with fans so he needs to be WATCHED. Are they Scientologists guarding him? Certainly the “church” would have a LOT to lose if something happened to Tom. Last year, Tom started getting serious threats after he fired a disgruntled stunt producer from the set. The angry guy sued Tom, director Christopher McQuarrie, and Paramount, and started a rumor that Tom’s films are financed by Russian oligarchs. Judging by the number of guards around him, Tom is still worried about SOMETHING…

TOM CRUISE: WHO’S THE “LUCKY” GAL?

Tom Cruise Arrived at Wimbledon Saturday with two of his attractive Mission Impossible 7 costars, (Pom Klementieff and Hayley Atwell) and ONE is rumored to be his girlfriend. And it’s about time- Tom hasn’t been linked with anyone since he divorced Katie Holmes in 2012. Tom has a notoriously hard time approaching women – so he either meets them through Scientology set-ups, or he casts women he likes in his movies so he can get to know them (like Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes.) MI7 has at least FOUR attractive women in leading roles so you KNOW one of them will end up with Cruise. London tabloids say he’s been keeping company VERY quietly with 20 years younger Hayley Atwell (on right) – but why all the secrecy?

TOM CRUISE WANTS YOU TO KNOW HE DOESN’T NEED A STUNT MAN

Tom Cruise loves to get publicity when he’s doing dangerous stunts so paparazzi are always notified so they can catch the action. Above, they are filming Mission Impossible 7 in the UK – in particular, a scene where Esai Morales (one of our favorites!) and Cruise are fighting on top of a speeding train lurching around a mountain. (A highly improbable event in real life!) Note both actors are attached to the top of the train car by two wires hooked to their waistbands. Interesting to observe that even during a tricky fight scene, Tom wears his built up elevator shoes. Sylvester Stallone used to have a casting rule that actors working opposite him should not be much taller – we wonder if Tom requires the same thing…

A WARNING TO HAYLEY ATWELL!

It has leaked out that Tom Cruise, 58, is probably dating his Mission Impossible 7 costar Hayley Atwell, 38. It was inevitable because Tom only dates actresses he has auditioned and hired for roles in his movies -case in point: two of his ex-wives, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes. That’s how he meets women. We’re betting Hayley does not yet know how tall Tom is without shoes on. Is it a coincidence that Tom and Katie both recently went public with new romances for the first time since they divorced? We feel it’s our duty to warn Hayley that Scientology will inevitably rear its ugly head and probably destroy the relationship like it did for Nicole and Katie, who to this day, are afraid to SPEAK about it.

TOM CRUISE RANT WAS SCIENTOLOGY INSPIRED

Former Scientologists were shocked to hear Tom Cruise’s dramatic setside Mission Impossible tirade because they say he sounded JUST LIKE (Scientology leader) David Miscavige! One revealed that the rant “was pure church-speak” and closely resembled Miscavige’s abusive tirades. It was as if Cruise was on a “power high” – like a general drilling his army. Former Scientologists agree: this is typical behavior for the higher-ups in the “church.” Classic Scientology mind-control: listen and comply. It had less to do with Covid than showing off his own tyrannical power. Coincidentally or not, the mission of Scientology is believed to be more important than the individuals in it. Public humiliation, threats, and expletives from a person in power is not the sensible way to get people to cooperate and it shows a lack of compassion. But Scientology leaders disagree.

TOM CRUISE CAN’T STOP TRYING TO PROVE HIS MASCULINITY

Seems like every movie that Tom Cruise, 58, makes lately is centered around his character performing extravagant – and potentially dangerous -stunts, while the plot takes a back seat to the action. It’s also interesting that so many of Tom’s stunts are filmed on accessible European streets and documented by paparazzi and passers-by. We are CONSTANTLY reminded of Tom’s audacity and physical skills. In fact, Tom’s stunts have become the most important part of his films. Who is he trying to impress? Is he validating the fact that he is a hot guy – or trying desperately to convince himself? Right now he’s careening through the streets of Rome in a car with no doors, filming Mission Impossible 7, apparently enjoying the attention.

THANDIE NEWTON: WORKING WITH TOM CRUISE CAN BE A MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

We are almost as delighted as Leah Remini was to hear the remarks that Thandie Newton made about Tom Cruise when they filmed Mission Impossible II back in 2000. Tom Cruise’s costars rarely say a WORD about him because he is a powerful figure in Hollywood AND a Scientology ambassador. Thandie’s comments were not actually BAD – but you can read between the lines. She described Tom as extremely dominant – he feels that only HE knows how to do everything best. It’s HIS way or the highway. Most important, she said he “tries superhard to be a NICE person.” Apparently it’s a huge effort. Scientology demands that their celebrities APPEAR to be friendly and likeable – especially when they’re handing out Scientology literature! If Tom was so controlling 20 years ago, what’s he like NOW?

ESAI MORALES IS NOW THE BAD GUY

It’s about time. At long last, Esai Morales has been cast in a blockbuster big budget film that will undoubtedly open doors for him. Of course Esai is a long-term successful actor – since Bad Boys and La Bamba, he has worked constantly. (He’s also an activist – for Latinx issues and SAG) Recently he appeared on Criminal Minds as FBI agent Cruz, and you might have seen him on Ozark or Curb Your Enthusiasm. We’re happy to see that Esai just landed a juicy role playing the VILLAIN who torments Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 7. He and Tom are the same age- 57- and a good match. We expect handsome Esai to steal the scenes he shares with Tom!

TOM CRUISE’S MISSION IMPOSSIBLE IS FINDING A GIRLFRIEND

This is actress Rebecca Ferguson and she might be the reason Tom Cruise moved to the UK. Tom took a liking to her when he saw her in The White Queen and hired her as his leading lady in his last Mission Impossible-Rogue Nation movie in 2015. She was a newcomer when she was called to his office expecting to audition, and shocked when he told her it wasn’t necessary “You’ve got the job!” Sound familiar? That’s how Tom met Nicole Kidman and Rebecca has been described as a young version of Nicole. She played a kick-ass character who did almost as many stunts as Tom – but it turned out she was living with a boyfriend and not available for romancing at that time. Fast forward to 2017 and her character has been written into the new Mission Impossible script and coincidentally she has broken up with her boyfriend! Stay tuned.
