Actor Tom Cruise reportedly turned down a Kennedy Center Award from President Donald Trump. The Mission Impossible star, 63, was offered the award but declined due to 'scheduling conflicts,' according to The Washington Post. The president instead unveiled Sylvester Stallone, rock band KISS, Michael Crawford, Gloria Gaynor, and George Strait as being bestowed with honors.
Cruise, a member of the Church of Scientology, is known to shy away from politics, opting to use his high profile to support the military, veterans and his religion.

Joe Biden inks deal with Los Angeles talent agency that reps Tom Cruise and Ariana Grande
And we all know how Hollyweird works...
Smart move. Stay away from politics.
Follow the money.
See my replies on this thread.
Cruise is not staying away from politics.
He’s willing for the shilling.
Yep. Best move to stay away from politics.
“Cruise, a member of the Church of Scientology, is known to shy away from politics, opting to use his high profile to support the military, veterans and his religion.”
I can respect that - too many “stars” think we care about their political views - he does good things even if I don’t believe in his religion...
Spinal Tap should win, but they’re British and are busy mourning the loss of their 9th drummer lost n a tragic explosion on stage.
“He’s practicing the Hollywood axiom of not wanting to alienate anybody, because they are all paying customers.”
Opposite
“ And that’s very smart. Too bad more of them don’t do the same.”
No. President Trumpnis the elected president of the United States
Cruise just insulted all of us.
“ I have no problem with his staying out of politics”
To say thst one does not recognize the president of the United States and receive an award by him is a political statement
Make Xenu Great Again
“ Honors event and is the head of the Kennedy Center, so sadly, it is seen as political.”
Only by people who don’t respect the American electoral process.
That used to be the Hollywood Maxim and he’s old fashioned. He didn’t express disrespect to Trump and he did not show up for the award which would have been interpreted as being pro-Trump.
The “scheduling conflicts” is of course nonsense. These people refuse to learn.
“ Smart move. Stay away from politics.”
It is political to not recognize and respect the electoral process. In the military one is not allowed to talk politics nor show allegiance to one person or another into the White House or any elected or appointed office
What that looks like is accepting any award, decoration or medal. Awards come from the American people represented by their elected official
It looks like what the military did over the Biden administration, which is to shut up. He won. If he cheated that will come out. That’s not for the present
What cruise is doing is the opposite.
There is no way this isn’t political. As a veteran and a cringe maverick watcher - having seen top gun once - I do play it once in a while up until goosebumps dies- I will never give cruise another penny watching Bennie in mission impossible
He is totally being political
Would he do this if Biden were president
H no.
Well I have a “scheduling conflict” so I can’t watch any on his movies again. Just don’t have the time.
“ Yep. Best move to stay away from politics.”
Trump is not running for president. At all.
He is in the White House. Any move or statement like this against him is not political it is unpatriotic
Respect the election process or be subversive.
“ That used to be the Hollywood Maxim and he’s old fashioned. He didn’t express disrespect to Trump and he did not show up for the award which would have been interpreted as being pro-Trump.”
Nope
Dems watch his movies too.
