Tom Cruise reportedly too busy to receive Kennedy Center Honor from Trump

The actor cited "scheduling conflicts" in his refusal, according to sources.

Tom Cruise has never had any issues jumping out of planes or riding motorcycles off cliffs, but boring old “scheduling conflicts” are apparently something even he can’t conquer. According to The Washington Post, Cruise was offered one of the Kennedy Center Honors that Donald Trump announced yesterday, but declined due to said scheduling conflicts. Former and current Kennedy Center employees speaking to the outlet did not disclose any specifics on those scheduling conflicts or any other reasons why Cruise might have declined. Considering the man could likely skydive in for the ceremony and be back wherever he needed to be for dessert, however, they must be pretty binding.

From a professional marketing standpoint it’s moronic to thumb your nose at more half the public.

He’s smart. He has said people from both political sides all buy movie tickets. People always say shut up and act or sing. That’s what he’s doing.

Stop the Kennedy Center humiliations. I really think Trump likes to be humiliated.

Tom is short and doesn’t want it to be obvious if he were to stand next to President Trump!

Too afraid to turn down, too afraid to accept.

Very scientific!

He needs a scriptwriter to write in some testicles.

There’s nothing political about agreeing to be honored at the Kennedy Center. The left has made it political. Trump is trying to depoliticize it and bring it back to what it once was, namely an event to honor those who have achieved a high level of success in American entertainment.

Kennedy center awards are meant to aggrandize the Kennedy center. Meaningless to a guy like Cruise….
