Hollywood actor Tom Cruise not only battles creatures from outer space in his latest film "War of the Worlds," he also believes aliens really exist, he told a German newspaper on Wednesday.

Asked in an interview with the tabloid daily Bild if he believed in aliens, Cruise said: "Yes, of course. Are you really so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?"

"Millions of stars, and we're supposed to be the only living creatures? No, there are many things out there, we just don't know," Cruise, 42, said in the interview published in German.

Cruise's film "War of the Worlds" is based on British writer H.G. Wells' 1898 story of the invasion of Earth by Martians.

" Famous Actor: You idiot! How would would you know? My shoes cost more than your car."

That one got me.

And the aliens believe in him.

Of course he believes in aliens. Scientology is based on the "facts?" that our souls are contaminated by alien DNA, which is what makes us troubled.
Ron L Hubbard was a science fiction writer, who came up with idea of starting his own religion based on his fantasies.
My husband and I are proud to say we are on the Scientology's enemy's list.

And "they" all live in Hollywood.

So do I. In fact, there are a slough of them working on a construction project just down the street.

Religions and it's mysteries, I guess, have been presented to all men, equally over the years, while science and it's mysteries, have sort of been relegated to scientists (in the most part). Maybe that's why. Also, here hasn't been as many wars based on scientific theoretical differences either.

What does this asinine comment have to do with the possible existence of life on other planets? Are you stating that nobody has been killed in the name of "science"?

[theDentist]

We don't know that for certain, do we? :)

[stuartcr]

It was in response to your last paragraph. I'm not saying no one has been killed in the name of science, I said wars. Besides, I thought you wanted an honest answer and opinion, but if you are just going to be rude, then forget it.

I can see how you got your screen name..at least the second part of it.

[DCPatriot]

Nope.

Exactly. Nope, the aforementioned examples of Christian beliefs are wackier than believing in intelligent life being out there somewhere among the stars.

Thanks for playing.

[Oberon]

What I think is funny is Tom Cruise accusing somebody else of arrogance.

Pot...kettle. Kettle...pot. =]

....Millions of stars?........

A euphemism for as Carl Sagan noted "Billions and Billions.

[toddlintown]

"He always WAS a loonie. His PR was adept at concealing it.

The problem is that he fired them and replaced them with his Scientologist sister."

Bingo!

[Lx]

And as good...

[itsamelman]

I seen 'em...

[frogjerk]

You brought up wars, I did not. Basically telling me your hostility toward religion.

[frogjerk]

Exactly. Nope, the aforementioned examples of Christian beliefs are wackier than believing in intelligent life being out there somewhere among the stars.

I don't believe so.

I think that his next movie contract is going to have a major hibernation clause in it. Just prior to and at the time of release of the film he will be forbidden to give interviews. Period. If he works again....

I know....was just jerking your chain a bit. ;^)
