We all make mistakes when we're young. And unfortunately for young celebrities, these moments of irresponsibility or frivolity are witnessed by the public, ensuring that you'll likely always have some skeletons in your closet. And that appears to be the case with mega movie star Tom Cruise, who apparently got mixed up in some less than squeaky clean activities while filming his breakout role in Risky Business. According to co-star Curtis Armstrong, young Tom Cruise was balancing a busy schedule of bible study and blow jobs.
Curtis Armstrong has just completed his memoir Revenge of the Nerd, named after his starring role in the film of the same name. He eventually wrote about his time on the set of Risky Business, revealing Tom Cruise's nighttime activities (via THR):
Returning late one night, I found three or four young girls --- late teens, I suspect --- lined up in the hall outside of Tom's room. I remember thinking, 'Tom's going to be really upset if these hot girls interfere with his Bible reading.' So I asked them, with all the stern gravitas of my 28 years, if there was something I could do to help them. They just stared at me, and at that moment, Tom's door opened and another girl came out, adjusting her hair and taking off down the hall, while the first girl in line slipped into Tom's room.
Damn. Young Tom Cruise was savage. I mean, he wouldn't even let the girls in line come in and wait? I guess that more "classy" move was learned later in the action-star's career.
All joking aside, this is a pretty wild accusation on the part of Curtis Armstrong. And while the details are salacious enough to capture the attention of most movie fans, it's important to note that this is a second hand account of Tom Cruise's behavior in the 80s. That being said, Armstrong goes on to poke fun at Cruise's playboy antics, saying:
This was a young man who knew something about time management and understood how to successfully juggle Bible study and blow jobs. I went to bed alone that night thinking it served me right for not being religious.
Talk about shots fired. Curtis Armstrong has dropped the BJ card, and the results were wild. If the rest of the chapters in Revenge of the Nerd are as salacious as this one, then I imagine that they'll be selling like hot cakes when it releases on July 11th.
Besides the fellatio of it all, another aspect that makes this story stand out is about Tom Cruise's previous relationship to Christianity. Cruise is perhaps the most famous celebrity Scientologist, but he was indeed raised Catholic. Obviously Armstrong was just poking fun, but I'm sure that detail of the story would capture the attention of some readers.
You can currently catch Tom Cruise in The Mummy. Trust me, they need the money.
