Aww, poor celebrities. They always have to be “on.” I’m just kidding, I do not feel bad for them. And also, they don’t have to always be “on,” and often they are not “on,” unless you mean “on cocaine.” (Boom! GARFIELD!) But as someone who doesn’t even like answering questions that his family asks him on the occasions when he talks to his family, I do actually think that the constant, inane barrage of a film’s press junkets would make you so angry and tired and bored, so you do kind of have to have a little appreciation for the modern celeb’s professionalism in these situations. Their winning smile. Their rote answers. Their cool deflections. Which is why it is surprising to see Tom Cruise bite it over the weekend while he was promoting Mission: Impossible: Ghost: Protocol in India. Come on, Tom Cruise. You’ve been doing this for 150 years. From the Hollywood Reporter:
“I love watching Hindi movies. There are many Hindi movies that come out every year but I do watch a few of them. (If offered a Bollywood film) I would never say no. I would love to do it,” the 49-year-old actor told reporters.
Let’s be clear: I REALLY HOPE TOM CRUISE STARS IN A BOLLYWOOD MOVIE. Because I would SEE THE CRAP OUT OF THAT MOVIE. But I am pretty sure this is like when you ask Mitt Romney “if you’re president, will you wage war on the moon,” and Romney says, “I don’t think it’s smart for a candidate to talk about hypotheticals but I wouldn’t take war on the moon off the table.” How is it even possible that Tom Cruise isn’t going to be offered a million Bollywood films next year (which is 1/10th of the number of films they make. He’s not going to be offered ALL the films, because he wouldn’t be right for a lot of them. But he would be PERFECT for a million of them) and now he has to say yes? His team loves this. His publicist and his manager and his agent are all so excited that they get to be the ones who have to come up with gentle but insistent lies to get Tom Cruise out of starring in a million Bollywood movies because somehow even after 300 years as a Vampire Movie Star, Tom Cruise still doesn’t know when to shut his old Brace Face. Fingers crossed. Hope he keeps his word. d) It was written.

“For example, I would love to be in a sequel to that great Will Smith Bollywood movie, Hindipendence Day.”
“Or, if that’s not available, the sequel to that Robert Redford Bollywood fable, Hindicent Proposal”
Just thought I’d pop this in here
Tom Cruise is weird.
Do you want the truth about my love of Hindi movies? You can’t handle the truth!
How is he in his 40′s and just starting to go through puberty? He’s going to live forever.
Well this was tasteless. He may be a celebrity, but that doesn’t mean that he’s any less affected by the fact that his father was killed by Galactic Overlord Xenu for not agreeing to be in a Bollywood movie when Tom was just a child. Show some respect, Gabe.
Maybe he thinks “Bolly” is someone’s name.
Maybe he’s just looking for an opportunity to seduce Freida Pinto?

Scene from “Jeetendra Singh: American Sports Businessman”
Tom Cruise is in India right now with Anil Kapoor (the millionaire host from slumdog), their promoting mission impossible and all of bollywood is bending over backwards for Tom as we speak, which includes HIRING CROWDS OF PEOPLE to stand around near the airport when he arrived. They also threw him a giant party where several Blist Indian stars showed up and made Tom feel important. It was pretty fucking ridiculous overall, but either way, this is why Tom has suddenly joined the “I love bollywood” jamboree.
(yes, yup. I’m brown)
Look at his teeth.
