Tom Cruise was squirted in the face by a man posing as a reporter.

Four men were released on bail after being arrested and were ordered to return to a police station Monday.

 

The actor was outside a movie theater in central London's Leicester Square on Sunday doing press interviews when a man squirted him with a water pistol disguised as a microphone, London's Metropolitan Police said.

 

Cruise initially appeared to laugh at the incident but then asked the prankster: "Why would you do that?"

 

As the man gave a barely audible excuse, Cruise said: "Do you like thinking less of people, is that it?" The prankster tried to walk away but Cruise reached across the metal barrier, held his arm and said: "Don't run away. That's incredibly rude. I'm here giving you an interview and you do that ... it's incredibly rude."

 

The actor grew increasingly irritated and told the man: "You're a jerk." Footage of the incident appeared on Sky News TV on Monday.

 

Police detained the man who squirted Cruise and arrested three other men who filmed the incident. The four were working on a new comedy show for British television station Channel 4 in which celebrities are the targets of practical jokes.

 

Police released the men on bail several hours later and ordered them to return to a central London police station on Monday, when they may be charged with assault, the police spokesman said.

 

Actress Katie Holmes, who recently got engaged to Cruise, was at the premiere but not by his side at the time of the incident.

what an a**hole, if i were tom i would have kicked his a**

Cruise did a nice job of keeping his cool, although he went a little off when he called the guy a jerk. I doubt he would have went after the guy had he been with his wife. And it was pretty lame of the guy to do that then after not respond to Tom. It's clear that he didn't have that prank all planned out, because then he wouldn't have came out looking like a dumbass behind bars.

I guess it goes a long way to showing what kind of guy Tom Cruise is. Probably most other Celebs would have kicked the guy's @$$, but Tom kept is cool and did nothing more than call him a jerk.

 

 

 

For that, I give him much respect. :notworthy

Snoop would of held himself back.....

Tom did everything perfectly He doesn't come out of this looking like a snob or a jerk.

He would have had to done something really bad for him to go to prison. The police wouldn't chase him if he squirted water at someone, like they did for the guy, they're scared of him. They know not to mess with stars.

 

And the police are biased. Since it was just a plain and regular guy who squirted the water he got sent to prison. But they would have taken it as a mistake had it come from Tom.

 

But Tom did a great job handling the situation. The guy was disrespecting him and he could have beat the sh!t out of him, but didn't.

And now, Tom is suing the guy. :notworthy

The job sucks anyway and kicking someone's ass while in my Target garb would be pretty funny.
