Sandler, Hoffman, Stiller Defend Tom Cruise

Celeb pals have got Tom's back...

Sandler, Hoffman, Stiller Defend Tom Cruise ...more Tom Cruise »
Share

Tom Cruise's celebrity mates have spoken out in defense of the actor, following the mauling he’s received in the press recently.

Tom has long been the butt of jokes thanks mostly to his 'bizarre' religious beliefs.

However, the recent publication of Andrew Morton’s controversial biography & the leaking of his pro-Scientology video has served to intensify the media backlash against the actor.

Now stars such as Adam Sandler, Dustin Hoffman and Ben Stiller are rallying round their pal and speaking out in Tom's defense.

Here’s what they have to say about Tom's treatment in the new issue of People:

Adam Sandler: "To see anyone's private life invaded and mocked like this is sickening. It's especially gross when it happens to a guy like Cruise, who's a great dad, a great husband, and a great friend."

Dustin Hoffman: "Tom Cruise is an American and has the right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion."

Dan Snyder (Washington Redskins owner): "Tom is a winner. That's a fact. He is a terrific actor, a terrific father and a terrific person. I'm proud to be his friend."

Ben Stiller: "Imagine having a baby and people talking about it the way they did. People lose sight of the fact that Tom Cruise is actually a person. I feel for him."

Poll  Do you feel sorry for Tom Cruise?

Yes, he's been victimised

No, brought it on himself

  • Dustin Hoffman: "Tom Cruise is an American and has the right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion." Is Dustin implying that Tom is the only one that "has the right to freedom of speech"? It certainly appears that way. So let me get this straight, everyone is supposed to shut up and let Tom continue to f-up peoples lives and let Tom say what he wants. Dustin, you're full of it!

  • Tom cruise is a douchebag and this article goes to show how clueless actors are to the excesses and abuses of his religion. Get a clue actors or get boycotted. we are legion. we are watching.

  • I think we first have to agree that Scientology is a religion and not just a money-making corporation. Just because the IRS sez it's a religion doesn't make it so... after all, L Ron Hubbard is quoted as saying "If you want to make lots of money, start a religion." I think these supporters of Cruise and Scientology need to do a little research on what Scientology really is.

  • What amazes me is the NASTINESS people seem to feel entitled to spread. Of course people have the right to their own religion, thoughts, beliefs. People must realize deep down that they are just buying the nasty jabs and PASSING THEM ON and SUPPORTING IT.
