Even with a fat-suit, patchy beard, and a bald head, Tom Cruise is still infinitely better looking than my friend Joe McLaren, and Joe’s a male model, so that’s saying something. But what is Tom Cruise doing dressed like that? It looks like he’s filming a James Lipton biopic, but not quite. This is actually Cruise’s look for his cameo as a studio head in Ben Stiller’s upcoming comedy TROPIC THUNDER. The cameo was rumoured for a while, and since I was trained at birth to believe absolutely everything I hear, his cameo was already a sure thing in my mind. That’s why seeing these pics is just so goddamn satisfying. I am however a little disconcerted by Cruise’s pale skin and flabby looking arms. Seeing your favourite action stars succumb to age is always a sad thing. Click on the picture to see more, and you can catch TROPIC THUNDER in theaters next year.
Extra Tidbit:
Other cameos in this film include Nick Nolte, Mos Def, Katie Holmes, Matthew McConaughey and Steeve Coogan.
