Yes, I didn't know he was straight.

The South Park episode where Cruise 'comes out of the closet' has been aired in the UK. It was on Paramount a few months ago and has been repeated several times.

"I particularly like his performance in 'Bartender'. "

'Cocktail'. Not 'Bartender'. The film was called 'Cocktail'.

Marcus Halberstam, New York,

Wow!
Tom is an "Operating Thetan level 7, ... able to use telekinesis, leave their bodies at will and telepathically control human beings and animals". I need to stop playing World of Warcraft and give Scientology a try. This Role-Playing-Game sounds way cooler!

Mike, Hong Kong, China

He's clearly overrated as an actor..
But to be fair to the little fellow, Mission III wasn't bad at all.

The year of birth for each wife from the information provided would be; 1955, 1966 and 1977 if I have my math correct. Whether this is accurate I do not know, but an 11 year age gap between each wife seems entirely probable.

Helen , London, England

Not sure how Cruise's first wife could be eleven years younger than the one before. Or does it mean that the first two were eleven years younger than the last one? Very confusing.

He makes great movies and I am glad he did so as I have been entertained by them year after year. A great actor.

Herb Zerden, Clearwater, USA

Mr Cruise. Oh dear. Clearly quite wacky and misguided, but for all that, most definitely entertaining.

Ken Tumblo, Walsall,

I am no fan of Tom Cruise but I think it is only fair to say that Anne Rice later said "from the moment he appeared [in the film], Tom was Lestat for me".

Oonagh, Hong Kong,

I wouldn't be able to handle being a Scientologist because they don't believe in taking medication to help solve problems. I stopped taking Aropax to control panic attacks and depression. Worse decision I've ever made, couldn't get back on them quick enough.

Terry Owings, Auckland , New Zealand

"the relentlessly heterosexual Cruise " an interesting turn of phrase

edna, london,

Congrats - a quality list - both informative and made me laugh. He is a genuine pint sized hero with some very memorable moments on film.

I'd like to see the telepathic control of animals in action ... sounds like a superb ice breaker at parties. Imagine a few tins and bbq round at the becks...
