Tom Cruise compares his acting to fighting in Afghanistan!

UPDATE November 10, 2013
It seems as if Cruise has a different story on what he said but after reading it, it makes it seem worse. This was in CNN's story.

Moss took issue with a magazine headline referring to Cruise having broken a promise to attend his daughter's first day of school. "But the truth, as you know, is that Mr. Cruise is a devoted father, who simply happens to be working in London on film. By your reasoning, any actor who is shooting on location in a foreign country could be charged with child abandonment, as could all of the mothers and fathers serving overseas in the military."

The comments come in a section of the deposition where Cruise is being asked about time he has spent away from daughter Suri, either because of film or other commitments.

"Now your counsel has publicly equated your absence from Suri for these extended periods of time as being analogous to someone fighting in Afghanistan," opposing counsel asks him. "Are you aware of that?"

"I didn't hear the Afghanistan," Cruise replies. "That's what it feels like and certainly on this last movie it was brutal. it was brutal."

Not only is Cruise an ass but so is the attorney. Brining up troops stationed overseas in war?

Changing the title of this to Tom Cruise is an asshole!
Sure it is painful to watch Cruise play any kind of hero in a movie because of what he is like in real life. It is painful to hear him talk because of what he says when he has to think of the words all by himself. While he just has to whine about his makeup, real heroes are fighting and dying in Afghanistan.

As we reported, Cruise recently sat for a deposition in his $50 million libel suit against a magazine publisher that claimed he abandoned daughter Suri -- and his quotes are GOLD.

First, the Middle East -- Tom says his location shoots are just like serving a tour in Afghanistan, "That's what it feels like. And certainly on this last movie, it was brutal. It was brutal."
