Tom Cruise’s international tour of terror to promote Oblivion continues, and we skipped his brief stint in Austria where he rubbed nips with with daredevil Felix Baumgartner. Hopefully, he didn’t pass Felix a copy of Dianetics or invite him to go motorcycle riding through the desert with David Miscavige, but you never know with Tom.
These are photos of Tom in Dublin where he paid a visit to the Guinness Storehouse and poured a pint while pretending to enjoy beer. LOL. Then Tom attended a needless ceremony to celebrate his Irish roots where he was protected by Scientobodyguard on the left in the below photo. I’ve kind of missed this guy — he worked with Katie in NYC for a few years, but after the divorce, he was shuffled back to Tom’s side of the pond. The dude seems like an intense guy who works very hard at his job. Let’s hope he sees the light and breaks free one day.
In more ridiculous news, Tom decided to talk about aliens because Oblivion deals with the aftermath of an alien invasion on Earth. The hilarious thing, of course, is that any association between Tom and aliens leads to a discussion about Xenu and the disembodied souls lurking around volcanoes all those billions of years ago. Yet here’s Tom unironically claiming that he’d love to meet some aliens. Sounds like fun!
Tom Cruise wants to go on a Tour of the Worlds – by taking a trip to space.
The Hollywood star says he would consider spending £130,000 to fly into orbit – and would love to bump into an ALIEN.
Speaking as he promoted new sci-fi film Oblivion, Cruise added: “Who wouldn’t want to do something like that?
“I’m going to let a couple of other people test it out first but it would be great. I was always hoping when I was a kid that we would be travelling to different planets by now.”
The War of the Worlds star, 50, would be following other celebs like Ashton Kutcher who plan to go into space. The Two and a Half Men star has already forked out £130,000 for Virgin Galactic’s upcoming two-hour mission.
And Scientologist Cruise believes it would not be out of this world to think aliens exist. Some of his religious pals hold that an alien called Xenu brought humans to Earth 75 million years ago.
Tom said: “I don’t think you can actually count it out. It might be a little arrogant to think we were the only ones in all the galaxies throughout the universe – but I’ve never met one!”
Cruise was speaking in Moscow at the Russian premiere of Oblivion, in which he plays one of the last men on Earth after an alien battle ravages the planet in 2073.
The 5ft 7in star is well practised for a trip – he once flew a Space Shuttle simulator at Nasa’s space centre in Houston, Texas. Now that’s one giant step for a small man.

I’m tempted to agree with Tom (for once) in that it would be awfully presumptuous of us humans to believe that we’re the only life form in the entire cosmos. Obviously, life must exist elsewhere, but I’m of the opinion that we’d never be able to communicate with otherworldly beings anyway. Obviously, life isn’t really like Star Trek with universal translators, but Tom is still convinced in the back of his sunshiney little mind that one day, he and fellow “big being” Dave will hop into their spaceship of love and greet the aliens with open arms.
Oh, Tom.

Tom Cruise wants to meet an alien? Look in the mirror, dude.
On a side note, that girl and the policewoman posing with him are really pretty! And young! Surely they can find better people to pose with than little Xenu.
I wonder how much they were paid to get that close/act that excited.
You took the words right out of my mouth Faye.
Is that Jay Z in that top pic?
I read the title as ‘unicornically admits’. My version sounds more realistic. 🙂
I like your version!
I remember when Tom was being interviewed for “Interview with the Vampire” (yep, I’m that old), he was asked if he would like to be a vampire. Tom just grinned and said, “Are you offering?”
I can’t hate on Tom for answers like that.
You’re so glib, Tom.
I wouldn’t want aliens to meet Tom. It would probably lead them to an attack on the human race.
He is a wacko. He reminds me all these real housewives who think that they are still young and hot and don’t know how to dress and behave age appropriate. Yuck.
Well call me crazy because I too feel that we are not alone in this vast Universe of ours. And if there are aliens walking amongst us, sure I’d like to meet one. But I highly doubt any are here. Plus I think the COS is pure evil and don’t want anything to do with them.
well,there may be The Others ,but he can start by staring at his reflection in the mirror
truth
I hope that very pretty (glowing) police officer watches out. Xenu lover here might just try to shove her in the limo.
Big head, stubby legs, bug eyes, look in the mirror buddy.
Oh is Katie getting press looking smoking hot irking you so bad you had to come up with some new material?
I’d imagine the Gardai will be in trouble for acting like fan girls on duty.
no way, they love that kind of thing there. they’ll be feting her for it back at the station 🙂
I too think we are not the only intelligent beings out there. I wonder though if these aliens would be violent though. Usually when someone or a group of beings has the intelligence and power to discover a new land or area they aren’t very nice about it
i hope they are nice enuff to take blohan ,or kardashian or tiny cruise with them if they pay us a visit or tiny cruise can take them all in his shuttle
Very funny post. I think the description of the bodyguard suits Tom as well. He works his ass off.
Yes, the headline’s awesome and the post even better.
HIS FOOT! Look how much empty shoe there is in front because he is actually on his tippy toes.
He is looking more and more like his mother.
hate the jackets he wears and THOSE CLOWN SHOES ! YIKES !
Well, I’d like to meet aliens or see a UFO, too…I know, I know, but Tom doesn’t really bug me at all, unlike the general feeling about him.
I hope he does meet an alien so they can take him and all the scientologist back to there home planet.
