I don't understand why people think he's gay.
Did you come to that conclusion because he said he was in A Few Good Men?

shareIn 1980, some of Tom's photos from his model days found their way in a gay magazine. I guess this would explain Bronson Pinchot's claim that Tom got carried away with the homophobic remarks on the set of Risky Business.

He used to hire Jeff Palmer, a gay porn star (who also escorted), back in the late '90s.
sharehe is just really femmy and talks like a gay guy trying to be macho. ever play on a high school football team with a guy who was clearly a raging fudgepacker but desperately tried to hide it? totally wasnt me btw...but yeah, that's tom cruise.
shareEver seen the "Playing with the boys" scene?
shareDoes that mean all the girls in the showers scenes in Porkys and such are gay?
Bad reference. Also, in the Top Gun scene, only the good looking, muscular guys and Tom Cruise are shirtless, sweaty and shiny. Goose never takes his shirt off.
shareyeah well its just eye candy for the women in the audience innit?
much like bond girls are for men.
except when you get this male version everyone starts yelling GAY!!
the actors are gay!
the characters are gay!
the whole movies gay goddammit!
.. then they try to sound intelligent about it by bandying pseudo psychology phrases like "homo erotic" around as if that gives their diagnosis some kind of scientific proof
... when in actual fact , at the end of the day , its a bit of eye candy for the ladies is all .
nobody starts saying "homo erotic" when a bunch of hot chicks exploitivitly show up in
Dude where my car
Austin powers
Jay & Silent bob sb
etc
OK, compare that scene and any shirtless scene in a Captain America and Thor movie.
"Playing with the boys" should have been sung by The Village People.
For the record I don't think he is or some bitter ex of his (male or female) would have dropped a bomb by now. But we love a good conspiracy in America and he had some great smoke there. Mostly I think it's the fact that one of Scientologies self help areas is "curing" homosexuality. So people figured it made perfect sense for Cruise to be so locked in for life with them.
shareI never even considered that.
shareI never thought he was gay. Not that it makes any difference. I just can't stand the LGBTQ.
shareBret Easton Ellis on Twitter: "Eyes Wide Shut makes total thematic sense when viewed as the dream-movie of a gay but closeted filmmaker, and starring Tom Cruise no less."

The disrespect.
shareHaha, imagine the laughter Kubrick would get out of that comment!
shareAlan Cummings wrote in his memoir, Baggage, about working on Eyes Wide Shut: "Tom was sweet and approachable and talked lovingly of his wife, and no, nothing registered on my gaydar."
shareVery interesting. That scene he has in EWS with Tom Cruise is hysterical despite the grim news Tom's character receives.
