Tom Cruise: My work as an actor is as hard as fighting in Afghanistan

Tom Cruise has never been shy about expressing his beliefs, and in a recent deposition, the actor said he believed acting was as hard as fighting a war.

Cruise sat with lawyers to be deposed for his case against Bauer Publishing for stories two of its publications printed following his divorce from Katie Holmes, articles that stated he had "abandoned" his daughter Suri.

During the deposition, a lawyer questioned Cruise about remarks his camp had made equating his work and inability to see daughter Suri to fighting in Afghanistan.

"That's what it feels like. And certainly on this last movie, it was brutal. It was brutal," Cruise said

There is a phrase for people who “think” they have it hard as a multimillionaire leftist actor who “thinks” he understands combat/combat units and can relate to it.

A short man wanna-be REMF.

Not saying what he said was appropriate, since of course it was not even a little appropriate, but one thing someone could say in semi defense of Cruise is that he does indeed work in one of the most shameless, amoral, conscience-less, ruthless industries around, one that delights in robbing young people of their dignity, soul, integrity and sense of self worth and leave them a fully hallowed shell when they are done. Still does not make what he said excusable but in the name of being impartial one could point that out.

Scientologists don’t do drugs, they do sofas.

Maybe an artificial leg, perhaps getting shot by a 50 cal in the thigh may change his mind...ever had yer ears ring for days after an IED went off nearby? Dork.

Actors are paid handsomely to be convincing liars (to play a role). Oftentimes they can’t turn it off when the Director yells cut. Cruise is losing touch with reality.

Sure Tom, you are not getting shot at or blown up, waring 70 to 100 pounds on your back in 120+F temperature eating food out of a foil package, drinking warm to hot water and sleeping in a hole that you yourself dug and making a salary of $100< / day while you make millions. You're either a wimp liar or are clueless. BTW, how many times, if ever, have you gone overseas to support our troops?

Ridiculous hyperbole and enormously inflated ego. Is he vying for a job in the WH?
