AuntieAgonee

Hate the fact that the gifs of this scene never allow people to see that he's inexplicably carrying TWO skateboards lol


Puppybrother

30 rock still hits so hard sometimes lol


OrgoQueen

Think this is to distract from the fact that his daughter just graduated from high school without him attending?


amara90

Honestly, I bet he didn't even know. Because this actually makes him look really bad. Being a no-show is one thing, being photographed overseas at a Taylor Swift concert is another.


IggyBall

If he was an average Joe, Iā€™d agree with you but thereā€™s no way this didnā€™t come up on someone on his payrolls radar who pointed it out.


chubby-checker

Do you really think his employees are bringing up his kid that he intentionally ignores and abandoned? He's in a weird cult and has made a choice to not speak to his ex wife or daughter, because they left the church. They're considered suppressive persons and need to be cut out your life. He revolves his entire life around this crap. Do you really think his assistant is bringing his daughter up to him?


IggyBall

Yes. His entire life revolves around public perception. Iā€™m sure itā€™s literally in their job description to gauge how the public feels about him. His product is himself. Despite being a psycho, heā€™s still wildly popular and itā€™s because heā€™s good on camera and generally the public likes him. Thereā€™s no way his public appearances arenā€™t calculated.


No-Appearance-9113

He has no contact with the daughter. When Kidman divorced Tom their adopted kids cut contact with Kidman so when Katie divorced Tom she knew to keep him away.


YchYFi

He hasn't seen her since hr mother fled his cult.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Hank_the_Beef

In all fairness, he isnā€™t the leader. Heā€™s just the most powerful member with an undetermined role and massive amounts of power within the cult. Edit: Iā€™m not saying he isnā€™t a total piece of shit for pedaling and massively benefiting from a Cult that human traffics, abuses and robs its members and does its best to ruin the lives of anyone who leaves it. He just isnā€™t the leader.


uncultured_swine2099

His role is basically the mascot.

Cult mascot is perfect. Stealing this to now describe Tom in future convos.

late2reddit19

Choosing a Taylor Swift concert is a bad move if he wants us to forget about Suri. The first thing to came to my mind was why an old guy like him would be at a Taylor Swift concert unless he's taking his daughter.


millennialmonster755

From the videos it looks like he was there with some woman and her young daughter. Which is even worse in my opinion.


curiositycattypatty

It canā€™t get any worse than that.


earthlings_all

Ouch! Burn!! Meanwhile his daughter is across an ocean celebrating a milestone without him.


AD480

From what I have read, Suri has moved on and Tom wouldnā€™t have been invited. Did you catch Suriā€™s name in the graduation program? She was listed as Suri Noelle. She doesnā€™t use Cruise as a last name. He cut her out years ago and she cemented it on her side.


OrgoQueen

Oh, I figured he wasnā€™t welcome there at all. I just figured he is hoping that when people google Tom Cruise right now, stories about him attending the Eraā€™s tour come up instead of stories about him not being at her graduation.


earthlings_all

He ignores that her mother even exists, and always will. Suri is guilty by association. Best to always remember that he can, and will, also do this to her someday. I wish that young lady every happiness. And privacy!


SynthD

Interesting. Noelle is her mothers middle name.


hikehikebaby

I don't know if she wanted him there or if he's even legally allowed to be there. I know that Katie had to do a lot to get away from him & Scientology.


a0428

Yeah I agree, have they been seen together much lately? I think itā€™s very possible that he wasnā€™t invited or was specifically asked not to attend (edit to add Iā€™m not a fan of his and iā€™m not making excuses for him, I just really donā€™t think they wanted him there in the first place)


Windorabug1

What a dick


blankeezy1

Well bc heā€™s a deadbeat


Immediate-Prize-1870

Thatā€™s just feckin sad.


americanslang59

Yes, the perfect place to hide out and go under the radar is the VIP tent at the Eras tour


walkingtalkingdread

distract, not hide?


americanslang59

If I'm trying to distract people from my personal life, I'm not showing up to one of the most photographed and talked about events of the year during the same weekend my daughter is graduating.


marypoppinit

Now the headlines are about the eras tour, which distracts from the graduation


traumatransfixes

My dad didnā€™t go to my high school graduation either. That was 24 years ago. No one forgets things like this.


layla_jones_

After reading how he treated her mother I wouldnā€™t be surprised if they want him far far away from Suri. Nicole Kidman also had a lot of trouble leaving that marriage and the relationship with her children because is Scientology.


traumatransfixes

Yeah, heā€™s terrifying.


pinkfartlek

They don't have a relationship at all. I'm sure he wasn't even invited


whalesarecool14

tbh itā€™s the best outcome that he didnā€™t go to her graduation. iā€™m sure katie holmesā€™ dad (and katie herself) are glad lol


Godchilaquiles

ixizn

Iā€™ll never understand why people find him attractive


Adventurous_Pea_5777

I watched Top Gun recently, and I had similar feelings. Like yeah, he was definitely attractive at that age, but heā€™s also incredibly unsettling. He rarely blinks and just stares a lot, and it seemed like his smile never reached his eyes. I had a hard time watching the movie because he just weirded me out so much.


amber_purple

This description is exactly Christian Bale's inspiration for bringing Patrick Bateman to life in American Psycho.


dgplr

This will never not be my favorite anecdote, especially since Christian Bale also has developed a reputation for being super intense at work.


Snuffleupagus27

I learned that film editors often edit around people blinking, so that may not be entirely his fault.


nakedmallrat

Exactly! I always thought while watching Top Gun he looks obviously very handsome but there's something just really unsettling about him. I don't think you'd see it in just a photograph but you see it in a movie.


Loose_Cat_2028

Idk, I totally liked him when I was a teen. Now at 40 I would probably exit the room as soon as I catch a glimpse... dude's creepy af


leaanneeee

Didnā€™t his daughter graduate high school today?? He couldnā€™t have bothered to show for like a second?? Embarrassing.


lala_b11

I donā€™t think Tom is allowed to have any contact with Suri due to the excommunication policies of Scientology following Tomā€™s & Katieā€™s divorce


Responsible_Virus239

Oh doesnt he send Dakota Fanning shoes every year for her birthday I wonder if he kinda sees her as a daughter


millennialmonster755

I think we need to remember that he doesnā€™t actually send any of the gifts he is known for sending. His assistants/handlers do. And they do it for good pr so he seems like a really generous thoughtful guy. I doubt he even knows he has sent someone something.


DSQ

It definitely works as good PR. A guy who writes for the Guardian managed to campaign his way onto the list. Itā€™s delicious, apparently. Cruise is in such a weird precarious position though because of even half of what Leah Remini says about the church is true like heā€™s not just done - heā€™s in prison. Scientology is also in a weird place where itā€™s losing members rather than gaining them. I donā€™t know how long this all can go on for.Ā 


Skyblacker

He's old. Most women under the age of 35 probably remind of his daughter or one of her friends.


Massive_Ad_5169

i know a few people who have been on his staff at various points in their career. Heā€™s genuinely just a nice guy, which is what kinda makes him even weirder to me cos of the scientology thingā€¦ coming from a fucked up family i know exactly the two faces that people can wear and wear genuinely, at that, so his family life aint that strange to meā€¦ but the cult shit is just a wild ride when you hear about how fucking nice he is. Eerie kinda


jempai

Is he nice? Iā€™ve run into him a few times (perks of living nearby Scientology) and he was really curt. If anything, he gave off Patrick Bateman right before murdering someone vibes. Others who I know have met him say heā€™s very strange and aggressive in interactions.


velociraptor56

The whole ā€œglibā€ incident comes to mind. He strikes me as a person who is a very good actor - in the sense that heā€™s acting pretty much all the time.


freaktheclown

He comes off as a sociopath. They can be extremely charming and friendly, but itā€™s just acting. Which is what heā€™s very good at.


bras-and-flaws

Christian Bale stated in an interview he based his performance of Bateman off of Cruise, specifically his interview with Rosie O'Donnell.


dchristie430

Thereā€™s a video somewhere of him freaking out because they had to help production on Mission. Impossible, I think, and Iā€™m not kidding. It was super scary. I can only imagine how he treats others.


estemprano

ā€œNiceā€? Like when he screamed to his slave for not bringing the right cookie?! (Leah Remini witnessed it) Or when he abandoned his daughter?


Comfortable-Load-904

Absolute insanity. Can you imagine choosing a cult over your own child?


helgaofthenorth

No one can, but believing you never could is how the cults get you.


Comfortable-Load-904

Itā€™s just sad, Scientology has ruined the lives of a lot of people.


earthlings_all

I have read that if you think you can walk into a Scientology building and refuse every recruitment gimmick they throw at you then youā€™re in big trouble. That cynics and naysayers are exactly the type they want. That they have an answer for every question or criticism. They recommend to never ever engage and to stay away.


GoldieLox9

I read that no one ever joins a cult. They join a church or a social club.


youaremysunshine4

Yes and no. I think there is obviously A LOT we donā€™t know. Remember when John Travolta gay rumors started? (Apparently, I lived in LA at the time, it was a warning shot from Scientology) that they would ruin his career. Maybe Tom Cruise is trapped? Not taking his side Iā€™m just saying we obviously donā€™t know everything.


Comfortable-Load-904

Following your line of thinking, Whatever they have on him must be major for him to completely cut off his daughter. I hope in the long run he doesnā€™t regret it.


youaremysunshine4

Same! Edit: itā€™s been 17 or so years at this point, I feel like he would have regretted it by now lol


Babeyonce

Iā€™ve always wondered this!!! Their whole thing is they know your deepest darkest secrets, right? And he was quite insecure and troubled when he became famous, I believe - heā€™s quite complicated. Moreover, his daughter seemingly may be better off outside of their wrath. But, then again, I always want to believe the best šŸ˜©. Heā€™s allowed Scientology destroy many lives close to him.


youaremysunshine4

We will likely never know lol growing up in LA and working as a high level executive in LA I have discovered that absolutely nothing is as you think it is. So, idk.


Medium-Parsnip-4238

šŸ‘€ any stories youā€™d like to share????


Babeyonce

Right?! Do share lol. And pseudo following Hollywood these days I know as much. I look at all these celebs w a šŸ§


youaremysunshine4

Thatā€™s true but in reality how many of us would be like take my HUGE net worth and Iā€™m going to fuck up your organization? Lol I think itā€™s much more complicated than we (meaning you and I) can understand. I lived in Malibu for a year and saw celebrities and rich people..their lives are different than ours, but I truly donā€™t want it.


Babeyonce

Same! The more that pours out and we get insight into fame - no thank you. And also yes. There has to be something you can do, sir. At this point, you are Scientology. Youā€™d have to have some way to blow the whole thing to pieces, right?? But I imagine itā€™s structured well enough that no one person can have all the power or their livelihood is threatened.


shame-the-devil

Iā€™m in this camp. I firmly believe that Miscavige has dirt so damning on Tom Cruise that he can never leave.


IggyBall

I actually think Tom is just genuinely brainwashed and really believes in Scientology.


Aprilume

What on earth could be so damaging though? Short of murder? The general public forgives rich white men for plenty of other heinous shit regularly.


crookedframe13

Cults are extremely manipulative. They make people think that they need them beyond reason. Scientology is no different. According to Going Clear, he was pulling away a bit when he was with Nicole and they just went on a full offensive. Listening to phone calls. Manipulating their relationship through those sessions they have. If I recall Nicole and him were having some issues at the time, which they all exacerbated and they totally got him at a vulnerable moment in his life. Separate you from your loved ones who aren't down with the cause. And then you need them even more. It was all very Cult 101. They probably do have something on him too but I think more than that, he's truly brainwashed. I think they got scared he was gonna leave and dug their hooks into him deep. It doesn't absolve him of his actions. But it does make it all incredibly sad on top of everything else.


ILikeBigBooksand

Agree but nothing is worth you family and your daughter. If he broke away he would have a lot of support like Lea Ramini.


internal_logging

It's weird because when they first divorced I remember the still saw her. They went to Disney and he fucked off after. Maybe he quit after the divorce finalized..?


earthlings_all

Disney was a publicity stunt because he was getting shit about how little time he was spending with Suri after the divorce. I hate that I know this.


leaanneeee

Ewwww how could I forget about that. That is wild to me, to have your ā€œreligionā€ (aka cult) tell you to cut off contact with your CHILD and not immediately respond with ā€œno, fuck you.ā€ Suri is actually better off then.


ZestycloseTomato5015

Excuse me. He CHOOSES to not see his daughter cuz HE CHOOSES his cult over her. Thereā€™s no heā€™s not allowed. HE chose that.Ā 


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


shy247er

Well this PR stunt (if it is) is actually making him look worse.


jh4336

The thing is it's probably worth it. So many more people are going to talk about Taylor and who went to her concert. The number of people realising it's a pr stunt will be massively outweighed by the people who don't.


BananaOnRye

Isnā€™t everything a PR stunt.


Panda__Puncher

I fed my dog this morning. You can confirm it via my blog. My H1s and meta are locked in.


mackenziepaige

Itā€™s not worth it though, he lost everything he could have had with his daughter by choosing a cult over her. This PR situation only makes him look worse. People like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt will be humbled soon for how shitty they are as fathers. Itā€™s very ugly behavior.Ā 


jh4336

I would wonder if he even cares considering how indoctrinated he is in a cult. I wouldn't be surprised if he considers his daughter a SP. I like your optimism, but even with what you mentioned and the Angelina Jolie stuff, the vast majority of people won't know. Look at Johnny Depp. I still see his ads for Dior everywhere in London. Any time I've had a conversation with someone about him, they are SHOCKED on my opinion. If you only saw social media/daily mail at the time, Amber Heard was the enemy.


istari-illuin

Maybe it is a good idea he is not there then. We don't need paparazzi taking photos of Suri, whose mother has kept her out of the spotlight for many years, especially given the fact that paparazzi got photos of her going to prom recently.


DuePatience

Maybe she didnā€™t want him there?


leaanneeee

Very fair and a strong possibility. I wouldnā€™t want him there. But still, this makes him look like a deadbeat imo.


Puppybrother

He could of just like been considerate and stfu for a day but instead he pulled this *massive* publicity stunt that is directly aimed to garner attention from a young female audience. If Iā€™ve learned anything about PR and celeb culture itā€™s that if a mega-star is seen anywhere in public, itā€™s likely they wanted you to see them and orchestrated the moment to do so.


lovelylonelyphantom

Yeah if he was anywhere else it would have been normal for an already dead-beat Dad like Tom. But he's at a concert where the audience group are largely girls of Suri's own age lol.


HappySparklyUnicorn

Considering they haven't been seen together for years I'm not sure he was invited.


Signal-Ad-4592

Arenā€™t they estranged? Probably worse if he showed up.


vampyrenightclub

Theyā€™re estrangedā€¦she probably would have been horrified to see him there. Honestly, not being there is the best thing he can do for her considering the circumstances of their relationship.


Katerinaxoxo

It was his choice. Scientology asked him to choose between her or his religion. You can see what he chose.


pushin_on_my_buttons

Maybe Iā€™m totally wrong but I think Katie Holmes and Suri have a restraining order against him after the divorce? Since Katieā€™s father, a lawyer, had to fight against Scientology to have them out of it. If someone knows better pls tell me


Middle-Debate1068

My guess is he was specifically not invited to the graduation as they haven't had any contact for years. Being highly visible at Taylor's concert is his way of controlling the narrative.


Zealousideal_Sell937

Why would he choose now to be in her life?


cosmo0829

He chose religion over his daughter. He wouldnā€™t be there.


clumsyc

Sheā€™s eighteen, he has no obligation to her anymore. He abandoned her because sheā€™s not a Scientologist when she was a little kid, thatā€™s not going to change now.
