NEW YORK TIMES - Tom Cruise last night denied filming the leaked Scientology video recently uploaded to Gawker and YouTube, calling the accusation "simply wild"."Iknow it looks like me, sounds like me, and if you get really close to the screen, even smells like me, but it wasn't me," said the multimillion dollar actor and producer of the Mission Impossible franchise. "I would never say the things that people accuse me of saying in this video," "at least, not to the general public. They'd think I was a nutter."
The response came after an anonymous source uploaded Cruise's acceptance speech for receiving a Freedom Medal Award at a recent Church of Scientology (CSI) ceremony.
Two other points of interest about the video. The first being the speech was more of a ramble, something many people have put down to the recent Writers Guild strike and the second being that no one has asked why their big figurehead had to pre-record his acceptance speech and have it played on a huge screen at the ceremony.
To paraphrase your speech Tom, "you're either with us or against us" so at least have the courtesy to turn up in person to your freaky non religion awards ceremony. It gives all the underlings that shell out all their cash for "courses" instead of acting classes some hope they will meet someone famous in the cult other than Jenna Elfman.
That is, unless you are unable to actually talk about the cult in a live situation without looking like a dickweed. Mission Impossible perhaps, Tom?
