    Tom cruise TV stunt

    Some of you must of seen this on the news during the day. Where people from a proposed Ch4 show squirted actor Tom Cruise with a water pistol hidden in a microphone.The practicle jokers where arrested then released on bail but are still been interviewed by Police.

    What do you all reckon, is it a bit of fun or a assult?

    He ate the bol-lox off them, calling them a 'jerk' it was funny to see his reaction, but can;t blame him, pretty stupid thing to do, famous people are probably quite edgy and incidents like this would prevent him from speaking to tv/public in the future, arse holes...

    Not a fan of the man, but the prank could best be described as tiresome, isn't there a happy slapping craze going on at the moment, rightly condemned by the media and then they film this as "entertainment" eh?
    I think there was a wee ginger fellow Denis Penis or something who was actually funny, by asking these so called "stars" embarrassing questions thats the way to go.

    It's been done a thousand times before.
    I'm on the Cruisers side, I think he was quite restrained. A bunch of frat boys squirt water at him so that they can laugh at someone caught off guard.
    Pathetic.

    I'm guessing Gift Grub will have their own take on it in the morning. Looking forward to it.

    Agree totally

    Thought he was very restrained and reasonable about it. Cruise just kept asking the fella "Why would you do something like that?" and the clown wouldn't answer his question.

    Hardly assault, but I hope the show is canned
    Tifo poles, sausage rolls and a few goals.

    Pure slap stick comedy...
    Was a bit funny but his reaction made it funnier..

    He needs to chill out a little he seems a bit tense could it be because his lovely bride to be refuses him any between the sheets action until after they are married

    Can't believe he's pressing charges over a little water, harmless fun not an assault..

    That's it exactly. I used to find Dennis Pennis funny because of his questions but this was just stupid. I like the way Cruise confronted them and tried to belittle them, yer man just standing there looking at him with a vacant look on his face....muppet.

    while many like to see the high and mighty taken down a peg -this carry on is just too easy -like phone gags.

    Might be a crap stunt but Tom Cruises reaction didn't do him any favours.

    He touts his private life to the media for publicity so hes fair game.

    actually thought he handled it pretty well and the sheer speechlessness of the prankster involved spoke volumes.

    too easy.

    How can ya say he lost the head?
    Thats ridiculous.
    He stayed calm and made the guy look like a complete eejit.
    Saying Why did you do that? & You're a jerk and yer man just stood there with a stupid smirk.
    Hilarious.
    Some might have just laughed it off but equally others might have thrown the guy a slap in the heat of the moment.
    I'm totally for winding these people up but show a bit of imagination.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
