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?

reply

There is no evidence, in the information available to the public, that he is gay. He has no "gay vibe", and has a history of intimate relationships only with women.

reply

I don't get it either.

His first divorcee didn't help matters. Mimi Rogers said: "Tom was seriously thinking of becoming a monk. At least for that period of time, it looked as though the marriage wouldn’t fit into his overall spiritual need. And he thought he had to be celibate to maintain the purity of his instrument. My instrument needed tuning."

reply

I wouldn't say that makes him gay though. He just wanted to remain celibate so he could become a monk. And if he shaved his head with a bald patch, he wouldn't have gotten anyone to have sex with either.

But then there's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzBUkdP0iDw

You win.

The smoldering sexual tension with Kilmer in Top Gun and playing a vampire who only likes to suck off men in Interview with the Vampire probably helped.

big cock jealousy

When you read his first Playboy interview (for the January 1990 issue), you wouldn't think that he was going to be divorcing Mimi Rogers (the divorce was finalized in February 1990).

When you read his next Playboy interview (for the June 2012 issue), you wouldn't think that he was going to be divorcing Katie Holmes (the divorce was finalized in July 2012).

reply

So if he does in interview with Playbot where it sounds like he's going to come out as gay...

reply

It's a bullshit rumour that's been around since before he was super famous and just an actor trying to make it in LA. It got picked up again when some arse bandit tried to extort him in the early 00s.

Just look at Cruise. Gay guys don't have the energy that cruise has, you can sense gay guy energy a mile off, it's impossible not to when you're looking at someone who gets their crack bleached and dreams all day of pumping other dude's fetid buttholes.

reply

WELL..AREN'T YOU RUDE.🙄

reply

And he successfully sued that company who started the rumour.

reply

Good for him. They were pretty damaging rumors as well because everybody thought he was gay at the time.

When people are really good, others want to bring them down.

About 20y ago, "gay" was a really big assault on a guy. It questions your manhood and virility and all that as it attempts to portray you as effeminate, weak and bendable and not strong, firm and manly.

Hence, the haters threw that term around to cast aspersions on him in an attempt to bring him down.

But Tom Cruise can run really fast and ran faster than all this filth by churning out incredible, amazing movies nonstop. Even many of his haters stopped and got in awe of Tom Cruise.

Today, he is a certified legend. The greatest of Hollywood and the ultimate action hero. A life truly being lived well.

Today, whether is or not does not matter because it is no longer a slur or an attack word or anything. It's like seeing breasts on TV like the famous Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. It was titillating and scintillating news. Today, no one will bat an eye even if someone has promiscuous open coitus on TV given the numbing from TV shows like The Boys and others. People have become jaded.

Hence, this allegation has just slinked away like his haters.

Tom Cruise is a phenomenon today. A true maverick of the world.

reply

I don't even see how anyone could think he was gay at any point. He is an action star who has always been with women. He doesn't even have any gay stereotypes like the way he dresses or speaks.

reply

There's a real simple reason. He's the biggest movie star in the world is rich and attractive. Its no coincidence that not only do people call him a closet homosexual as a pejorative but also height-shame him for being slightly below average in height.
At the end of the day, it is jealousy and insecurity. You see many of the same idiots who mock Cruise display faux outrage when dwarves and actual gays are ridiculed.

reply

I'm team Tom. The guy is awesome and even if he was gay, he's still a movie legend.

reply

I agree.

reply

I’ve heard stories. Back in the day there was a bar called Rounds in midtown where cute boys would hustle old rich men. He wore short shorts.

reply

He's not gay, just Autistic.
