Cruise: Last News

Judd Apatow served as emcee for the DGA Awards on Saturday night, and he kicked off his show-opening monologue by taking a few shots at Tom Cruise.

Judd Apatow honed in on Tom Cruise when he was onstage at the Directors Guild of America Awards on Saturday evening (February 18).

Tom Cruise, with his history as an action star in a multitude of blockbusters, might not have been the first choice for the role of Lestat de Lioncourt in Interview with the Vampire.

Selome Hailu A month after Jerrod Carmichael used the Golden Globes stage to mock Tom Cruise for his involvement in the Church of Scientology, Judd Apatow got in a few similar jabs while emceeing the Directors Guild of America Awards. The jokes began with the topic of the “Top Gun” star’s height: “The special effects in ‘Maverick’ were so top notch, I couldn’t even see the stack of phone books Tom Cruise sat on to reach the flight controls.” “Remember when Tom Cruise jumped up and down on the couch and we all thought, ‘What a lunatic!'” Apatow said, referring to the infamous 2005 incident on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” “And now he rides a motorcycle off a cliff and BASE jumps and we’re all like, ‘Tom’s fine!'”

Jay Ellis opened up about his past as an underwear model and shooting a shirtless scene for Top Gun: Maverick.

Joseph Kosinski, the director of Top Gun: Maverick, was at the DGA Awards where he talked about the viral moment between Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise.

Steven Spielberg is seemingly crediting Tom Cruise for “saving Hollywood” with the theatrical release of Top Gun: Maverick.

Covid-19 dampened everyone’s spirits and movie buffs could not see theatres for months. But a few films, such as “Top Gun: Maverick,” encouraged people to go back to the films.

Zack Sharf Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise reunited at this year’s Oscar nominees luncheon, where the blockbuster filmmaker praised his “Minority Report” and “War of the Worlds” actor for saving the theatrical movie business with “Top Gun: Maverick.” Both Spielberg and Cruise are in the running for best picture this year thanks to “The Fabelmans” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” respectively. “You saved Hollywood’s ass and you might have saved theatrical distribution,” Spielberg said to Cruise in a video originally shared on Instagram by director Kartiki Gonsalves, whose film “Who Can Say No to Baby Elephants!” is nominated for best documentary short film. Cruise was left blushing.

The Academy Awards are bringing together Hollywood’s biggest stars.

Tantalizing! Tom Cruise had all eyes on him at the Oscars Nominees Luncheon on Monday, February 13. 

The annual Oscar nominees luncheon was back at the Beverly Hilton, and back just like the old days (well, 2019) before the pandemic changed everything. But if the vibe and attendance at today’s lunch is any indication the Oscars themselves could be in for a very good night as the Academy seems bound and determined to bring the show back to its old self, and that means a more traditional kind of Oscar experience after the surreal pandemic-affected ceremony at Union Station in 2021, and last year’s Will Smith Slap edition. We can use a little comfort food from the Oscars and I just get the feeling, with Jimmy Kimmel back as host, it might be just what the doctor ordered for the Academy’s big night.

Scott Alexander has unfortunately passed away.

Tom Cruise was spotted in London just before it was announced his epic action film Top Gun: Maverick had received six Oscar nominations, including the coveted Best Picture nod.The actor, 60, who plays an expert pilot in the Top Gun films, was spotted landing his helicopter in the metropolis late last night on Tuesday. While Top Gun: Maverick failed to receive any acting nominations, it did receive the nominations for best adapted screenplay, visual effects, best sound, best original song, and best film editing. The sky's the limit! Tom Cruise was spotted in London just before it was announced his epic action film Top Gun: Maverick had received six Oscar nominations, including the coveted Best Picture nodTom was spotted arriving into London bundled up in a black jacket, jeans, and boots.

The nominations for the 95thAcademy Awards were unveiled this morning, and while for some like Everything Everywhere All At Once, All Quiet On The Western Front and The Banshees of Inisherin  the race to Oscar glory is on, there are some who never made it off the starting line.

Top Gun: Maverick scored six Oscar nominations this morning including best picture, along with adapted screenplay by Ehren Kruger & Eric Warren Singer, sound, film editing, visual effects and original song for the Lady Gaga tune Hold My Hand. The film’s emergence as a best picture threat might have seemed an impossible mission, in that a summer movie that grosses nearly $1.5 billion worldwide moves popcorn, not Oscar voters. This Paramount Pictures film has proven to be the exception and one big reason is this: if Tom Cruise didn’t rescue the theatrical box office business following the Covid pandemic, he certainly pulled it out of a nosedive. While Cruise did not get nominated for best actor, he is squarely in the mix as producer, alongside first time Oscar nominee and hitmaking stalwart Jerry Bruckheimer, Christopher McQuarrie (a double nominee counting the adapted screenplay category) and Skydance principal David Ellison.

Three-time Oscar nominee Tom Cruise once gave his Eyes Wide Shut castmate — three-time Oscar nominee Todd Field — advice on making his feature directorial debut after disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein nearly chopped it to pieces.When the 58-year-old SoCal native was having difficulty adapting Andre Dubus' 1979 short story Killings, the New York–born 60-year-old actor scoffed: 'You're just making excuses. Figure it out.'Todd eventually wrote the script, got the rights, cast Tom's first cousin William Mapother, and debuted his 2001 indie drama In The Bedroom at the Sundance Film Festival.

Todd Field is recalling the moment he found out that Harve Weinstein’s Miramax had acquired his debut film In the Bedroom at the Sundance Film Festival and how Tom Cruise’s advice saved him.

Leah Remini gave a big thumbs up to the Golden Globes host Jerrod Carmichael on Tuesday after he referenced a controversy close to her heart.The 35-year-old comedian delivered jokes during the ceremony aimed at Top Gun: Maverick star Tom Cruise, who had previously returned his Globes to protest the Globes' lack of Black voters, while also referencing Scientology leader David Miscavige and his wife Shelly Miscavige.Shelly has been alleged to be missing and has not been seen in public since August 2007, though police have been satisfied that she is not missing.Remini — who previously filed a missing persons report for the long-unseen Shelly — tweeted her support for Carmichael's joke, which occurred just before he introduced members of Top Gun: Maverick's cast. Pet issue: Actress and Scientology defector Leah Remini, 52, gave Golden Globes host Jerrod Carmichael, 35, a thumbs up after he poked fun at noted Scientologist Tom Cruise and Scientology leader David Miscavige's allegedly missing wife Shelly on Tuesday; seen in 2019'Backstage, I found these three Golden Globe awards that Tom Cruise returned,' Carmichael said while carrying the awards in his arms.The comedian — who began the show by poking fun at the Hollywood Foreign Press's race issues — added: 'I’m just the host… but I have a pitch. I think maybe we take these three things and exchange them for the safe return of Shelly Miscavige.' Cruise did not attend the ceremony.  It's not clear if Carmichael was insinuating that Cruise might have some knowledge of Shell's whereabouts.

The host of this year’s Golden Globes took a shot at the Church of Scientology and referenced its longtime leader’s allegedly missing wife on Tuesday night.
