For as long as we can remember, there have been rumors. Whispers. Conspiracy theories — and theorists — have followed megastar Tom Cruise throughout much of his career, no matter how hard he’s tried to tamp down the stories, ignore them, or shuttle them into Xenu’s glowing orange belly.
Almost all these rumors revolve around whether or not Dat Ass is real.

Let’s now go back to the halcyon days of 2008, in which Cruise exposed what looked like a perfect “bubble butt” in the film Valkyrie.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
See for yourself:
It’s a four-second scene which, thanks to the power of the gif, you can now watch until eternity explodes. We did that for you.
For years, viewers have felt Cruise’s ass was simply “too perfect.”
Some folks have even suggested Cruise called up Viv in Wardrobe and had her cobble together prosthetic cheeks for the scene:
Well, Tom Cruise has finally acknowledged these rumors, and he has news for all you doubters out there.
Asked in an interview about the theories — which Cruise admits he’d never heard — the 55-year-old sets the record straight:
“There was no prosthetic in Valkyrie,” he says. “No.”
In his upcoming film American Made, Cruise’s character apparently moons his family repeatedly. And that’s allegedly all him, too.
“It’s me,” he says. “It’s not CGI, it’s me.”
“I do my own mooning in films. So let it be known – I do my own mooning.”
So there you have it — case closed.
But just to be on the safe side, let’s look at that scene from Valkyrie one last time — in slow-mo:

This was cute.
I will admit that as crazy as he is I still get stiff watching him prance around in his underwear in Magnolia. That was the peak of his yumminess. And anyone who remembers that scene knows that ass is semi flat.
whatsaywhat
It’s full of thetans now… Either that or Xenu has taken up residence in it.
Josh447
It was Risky Business and Tom’s ass has always been anything but flat. We talking about the same person?

No, I was speaking of Magnolia, which came out in 1999. He pranced around in his underwear as almost a parody of his scene in Risky Business. And although his ass wasn’t pancake-like it didn’t have much volume. That was the last movie he did where you got a good view of his for real butt. So, either he’s rocking pads or have worked really hard on fleshing it out.

Na, Tom wears height shoes too in movies and in real to pretend he’s taller than he is. That butt is fake. Even his love for Katy was fake. Everything about Tom is fake.
Spike
You’re being GLIB!!!!
Fake height, fake ass, fake marriages . . . . Catagory is, Scientology.

The true test of a genuine bubble butt is its ability to maintain the shape when the person stands fully erect. That thing flatlined as soon as he went vertical. No thank you.
SeijnSei
Thank you. As said owner of one, that thing is visible no matter what I do. Booty just don’t disappear when you stand up.
whitakerk861
I believe you both but (pun intended) need to verify. Don’t be cruel.
Billy Budd
He is COMPLETELY crazy. That is all there is to be said.
ChrisK
That was padding for the movie since Tom likes to do many of his own stunts.
Ashke113
No one cares, he’s just bringing shit up to seem relevant.
thisisnotreal
Hello ashke, what flavor tea is that your drinking?

zzzzzzzzz……..sorry….I fell asleep

Not the first time he’s lied.
oaksong
There are also rumors that he may be straight!

I have enjoyed almost every Tom Cruise movie I’ve ever seen. I think he is a handsome man who can portray characters with reasonable talent. He makes sit, relax, and let my troubles and the world fall away. There may be far better actors, but there are many that are far worse.
Beyond that, he is welcome to his personal choice of religion. He can date and have sex with whomever he likes. I don’t really care about his personal life. He isn’t a relative or a neighbor, he isn’t voting for Prop. 8 or the like, so I don’t really need to know or care what he does after the director shouts, “cut.” I have seen him in person once and only once in my life. I was visiting my friends B&C in WeHo and they took me to brunch at some 60s-leftover dinner that had great French Toast. He was sitting at a table reading what looked like a script. He read his script, ate his meal, paid his bill, and left without causing a stir or a fuss. Other than the waitress, the only person I saw talk to him was a perhaps 5-year old boy who wandered over while his parents paid the bill and asked him, “Whatch’ reading?” I don’t hear the response, but the two chatted amiably for a few minute, Cruise smiling. The mother called the boy to her side and they left. I don’t think she even notice whom the boy had been talking. I’ve seen much worse behavior from many so-called celebrities.
Why don’t we admire his cute butt, argue about his movies, and leave the nice man alone?
Bradsman
I agree! I’m a fan. He almost always makes entertaining films and he’s aged remarkably.
Condor221
Agree Mac, but have always had a crush on him….
JamJewel
I certainly agree that “he is welcome to his personal choice of religion” but any ‘religion’ that separates parents from children for life for no other reason than the parents separating is not spiritual but merely fundraising and does not deserve respect – and neither does he.
Vera Delmar
Lovely ass…and those cheeks have some serious separation going on.
DuMaurier
Now THAT’S good click bait!
JamJewel
Notice he doesn’t say that it’s his butt only that ““There was no prosthetic in Valkyrie” meaning, he didn’t, but his stunt double may have.
Jaxton
Tom Cruise is so yesterday. His movies don’t have the same impact anymore.
Curtispsf
Although I have enjoyed Tom Cruise’s movies and probably will continue to do so, one thing he does not deserve, and will never get from me, is my respect as a fully integrated human being. I can not respect someone whose “religion” adopts such horrible punishment and banishment of family members who “defect”. I abhor Tom Cruise’s choice of Scientology as a religion, but that is his choice, so who am I to judge? And at the same time, I DO judge. I hope one day he comes to his senses and leaves Scientology but in the meantime, I will enjoy his movies, but always with a bit of reservation.
Herman75
The truth comes out! Who wouldn’t want to know the truth, It’s Tom Cruise! 😉
I wonder if David Geffen got near it.
larrytopping
NO straight guy pays THAT much attention, gets THAT excited about HIS OWN ass! Who does Tom think he’s been kidding, for the past 35 years?
larrytopping
Besides, considering his salaries, he probably bought buttock implants, right after Risky Business. $10,000 per cheek? Somethin’ like that.

Just a personal idiosyncracy. I have avoided Mel Gibson movies, Tom Cruise movies and John Travolta movies all my life. I just feel like they’re either horrible people or so fake and weird that I can’t give them my money, not that my $10.00 senior ticket is any loss to them. Tom Cruise is a movie star and not a great actor imo. He always plays a hero, THE hero evend in this latest where he makes money off drug cartels but probably saves the day and gets the girl. He has an ugly gummy smile when he gets excited and laughs. Like when he was on Rosie. Y’all can have these fake men who play act for money. Besided, as bette Davis said, England has the best male actors and America the best actresses. In England the men aren’t always playing the good looking hero who saves the day. Give me Ian McKellen any day.
OzJosh
If you got over your prejudices you’d see how wrong you are. Yes, Cruise often plays the hero, and they’re not always challenging acting parts. But in between blockbusters he’s made great movies in which he’s given brilliantly complex and nuanced performances. Start with Magnolia and Collateral.
captainburrito
His ass was fine in Far & Away as well when his trousers slip but he catches them just in time.
OzJosh
The truth is Tom Cruise has a very ample bubble butt – perhaps slightly too ample for some tastes and Cruise has actually spent most of his career disguising it. He’s almost always dressed and shot so that his butt cannot be seen clearly. I suspect he’s worried that it’s a bit too Kardashian. But that’s what you get when you work out as much as he does. For those of us who appreciate it, he just seems to have become less self-conscious about it in recent years, so it makes the odd appearance now.
Donston
You sound a little desperate in your adoration of Cruse and also incorrect. Working out doesn’t equate to getting a big butt. Unless you naturally have ass or focus on building your ass muscles working out is not gonna add much volume. In fact, depending on how you work out it can cause you to lose some volume back there. But ultimately, this isn’t a mystery worth solving.
Jaxton
Lol

In my personal experience, one gets a big butt from lifting spoons of ice cream to one’s mouth, not lifting weights at the gym.
Jack Meoff
Does anyone believe anything that comes out of this man’s mouth any more? He has told so many lies and has clearly taken up residency in his own private little crazy town where he is king that he probably actually believes he is straight and six foot tall. As for his acting ability he seems to just play the same character over and over again regardless of the script and when was the last time he won any awards or even got nominated. I don’t recall his name coming up at any ceremonies for quite some years now.
Josh447
This is a man well preserved….truly such a beauty….

Surgery helps
carver.robertd
How many times have you gone to a plastic surgeon and had your ass lifted?
carver.robertd
As to whether that’s actually Tommy’s true tush, how many of us will actually be given the opportunity to tap it?
As to rumors that he’s straight, I’d say “Yeah, straight as the Yellow Brick Road!”
JackieOMG
Don’t care for him as an actor, nor as a person; however, short(er) men often tend to have shorter muscles, so it’s entirely possible that his ass is so round, so firm, so fully packed. After all, wasn’t he a gymnast in his youth?
