According to a new report, President Trump had tapped Tom Cruise as a recipient in the Kennedy Center honor this year as a recipient, but was rejected by the Oscar-handed actor.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that “Mission: Impossible” Star told the Commander In -Chief that he could not accept the invitation to attend the Gala at the Kennedy Center Opera House in Washington, DC on 7 December.
The decline in offer of cruise was confirmed for outlets by “several unnamed sources” at the center.
The 63 -year -old actor released his latest “Mission: Impossible” installment, “The Final Reckoning” in May and is currently working on several projects for release in 2026.
Cruise would have led a star-stamped list of honor for this year’s program, when Trump named five artists, for which he was a personal hobby, including actor Sylvester Stallone, Rock Band Kiss, disco singer Gloria Genor, British actor Michael Crofford and country music star George Strait.
The “Top Gun” actor is away from entering the political realm, either the option to not speak about the party and bypassing a question about Trump.
During the press junk for the film for its latest “Mission: Impossible”, Cruz was grilled by a Korean reporter, which Trump’s tariff had impact on the filmmaking.
“We will answer questions about the film. Thank you,” the actor replied.
Hollywood reporter Some of other award recipients will be included in:
Instead, Trump on Wednesday unveiled a list of 48th Kennedy Center Honors recipients, including Glam Metal Band Kiss, Broadway Star Michael Crawford, Country Music Legend George Strait, singer Gloria Gennore and in the film actor category, also included Trump’s list with Sailts – periods – periods).
Okay, now take me …
I think Tom Cruise is a good boy.
I think he has made a great life mistake with complete scientology, but I think he is a good boy.
I think she is deeply dedicated to her crafts (making films) for almost extreme fashion – there are countless reports that she refuses to accept a stuntman as she is dedicated to her craft and to make it right.
So I think not to accept the award probably comes down for some thingsā¦.
I think it can be very well “scheduling conflict”. Even when you are Tom Cruise, the movie sets don’t wait at anyone, and Tom is busy working on his new film. And in their mind, it takes priority overall.
The second thing is closely related, which is the fact that I think he does not want anything in the way of making a film.
And I think what he personally thinks about President Trump, I think he probably see it as an unnecessary distraction.
I am not saying that Tom Cruise loves Trump or Maga, I really don’t know.
In fact, if you really press me, I will bet that Tom Cruz does not spend a minute of thinking about any kind of politics on any day. His mind is completely on films.
I am not making excuses for him, and I think he has made some poor options in his life about scientism and originally left a daughter. So I am not here Tom Cruise Epologist.
But this is to take mine.
What do you think?
