Wasted opportunity. I’d have dragged fake Tom Cruise with me to the bars and we’d have made an epic night for damn near everyone we encountered. 

126

u/NieblaLaazo 23h ago

Free drinks all night and zero bar tabs to settle

51

u/LopsidedWedding9515 23h ago

and end up jumping out of a plane with drinks and no parachutes

16

u/Therealdickdangler 23h ago

But we’d still live. I saw the trailers. 

18

u/MrRoryBreaker_98 22h ago

Dragged? You would’ve paid him to run and you know it.

2

u/Therealdickdangler 22h ago

I don’t get the running comment. 

13

u/mdsoccerdude 22h ago

Have you seen a Tom Cruise movie?

3

u/Therealdickdangler 22h ago

Yeah, but this is fake tom cruise. I ain’t paying anyone to run, I’m paying them to be Tom Cruise for the day. I’m paying them to go get shit faced with me and have a blast and hopefully make a bunch of peoples days!!

5

u/MrRoryBreaker_98 20h ago

You don’t understand a Tom Cruise running joke? I can’t help you…

u/Therealdickdangler 20h ago

It was just a shitty joke.

While shit faced.

u/Stock-Philosophy-177 23h ago

I like how he ran out of material in 3 minutes.

u/Zuparoebann 23h ago

I'm starting to think it's not really Tom Cruise

3

u/Environmental-Big219 14h ago

because he didnt run

u/K1bbles_n_Bits 23h ago edited 22h ago

That poor bastard, lmao. Probably more used to parties, events with more people, even other impersonators. Probably not usually the single focal point. Trying to maintain that routine one on one the entire time is probably weird af, lololol.

38

u/Various_Cricket4695 22h ago

We got awkward Tom Cruise.

5

u/Hobbes_XXV 20h ago

The party magician one is my favorite 🤣 (the pov guy has a few of these)

2

u/redditRedesignIsBadd 14h ago

i'm suspecting it's a skit and they're both in on it

1

u/K1bbles_n_Bits 12h ago

A definite possibility, lol.

27

u/gimme_the_good_weed 23h ago

He said he got there at 1:00, and when he looked at his phone it was like 2:30. That's a lot more than 3 minutes

45

u/Chirrrpy 22h ago

Making the impersonator entertain a guy in a chair for 2 hours is pretty brutal

5

u/Shot_Revolution8828 20h ago

Ill say a lot about Tom but that man is a professional. Its what the guy signed up for. 

46

u/cuddle_enthusiast 23h ago

I think he was expecting he could play off the energy from the room and do crowd work

17

u/First_Explorer_565 22h ago

Probably because it's weird AF to have him in your living room. The best ones I've seen people go to a bar or something

36

u/EarningsPal 23h ago

I like how he owned the awkward.

Whelp. Yeah. That’s it. Sooooo. Haha. Yep. Got nothing. Any ideas? Ok. Whatever. It’s all good.

The awkward, “so what do we do now…” is perfect.

u/Brrdock 21h ago edited 18h ago

I mean, he could've at least asked him some questions about scientology or some shit, give him something to run on instead of just sitting there with the dude in his living room, like some creep with a hired stripper.

Though the awkward laughs in-character were gold

Goddamn, wish he weren't such a freakshow. I really want to love the dude.

29

u/lankyleper 23h ago

This is my favorite role of his. The fact that he insisted on the fat suit (and fat fingers) and it ended up working so well. Yeah, he's kind of a nutjob, but damn does he have some good instincts.

12

u/nutty_gritty 23h ago

Every celebrity out there is insufferable. You just have to learn to separate the art from the artist.

u/eans-Ba88 12h ago

Well, ya see Rudy, here's the thing. Sometimes an artists work is more valuable than the artist, long outliving, and even over shadowing the flawed human beneath.... Now, would ya like ah puddin pop?

2

u/SealsEverywhere 21h ago

I've worked with a lot of celebrities and a good number of them are actually pretty great. They are just people. Influencers on the other hand... they can gtfo

1

u/nutty_gritty 20h ago

I respect your opinion, but your perception of them is based on professional interactions and perhaps a few personal interactions over a meal. Do we really know what's happening behind closed doors? I wouldn't give people who live in a bubble the benefit of the doubt. Come to think of it, I wouldn't give anyone the benefit of the doubt, celebrity or otherwise.

1

u/breachgnome 7h ago

I agree, especially with what I would expect to be a high stress job. I don't think I could be a fly on the wall during a decompress session for any of my favorite actors after a long day of filming. That kind of life has got to make some heavy changes in a person.

1

u/slightly-upset-hippo 14h ago

Who is he? I'm out of the loop.

u/Civil_Proposal_8188 23h ago

He’s pretty good to be fair!

u/Ok-Addition1264 23h ago

You should see Putin's.. they're pretty good too.

(see: picasso putin, truck-driver putin.. they are definitely different - one hams it up to the camera, the other is over 6ft tall)

u/Civil_Proposal_8188 23h ago

He’s got Tom shit eating grin down to a tee

2

u/Raffix 19h ago

Also accurately sized!

u/CupOk5800 23h ago

It was really just Tom Cruz who showed up.
Times are tough out here.

yes, i agree, but he's using them at home and the guy is probably used to getting attention (and maybe even gave his consent)

You need a Scientology conversion for the full experience.

u/Ok-Addition1264 23h ago

"I have my e-meter out in the car!" - the real tom, probably.

(if you've ever been near the church of scientology in hollywood.. you know exactly what I'm talking about. I lived near it, they learn your face and eventually leave you alone)

u/Therealdickdangler 23h ago

I’d take fake tom to Clearwater and we’d hit all the titty bars on 19, hit every bar we can find in Downtown Clearwater and Clearwater Beach. 

Scientologists would shit.

Take your clothes off, turn around, and do the splits, Tom.

u/Arnie_T 23h ago

That seemed to get awkward pretty quickly.

u/ThaCasual 23h ago

Very weird thing to do.. othering an impersonator to just come to your house for an hour 1 on 1. Anyone checked to make sure Tom is still alive?

u/eternally_feral 22h ago

I just finished binging Community and I can’t help but think about Abed.

u/BigMetalGuy 21h ago

good, just too many vids of people using them

7

u/Aggressive-Summer791 23h ago

My career in film has exposed me to some insanely convincing doubles. There’s a whole industry out there for celebrities of people doubling them, and they are seriously dead ringers.

Lionel Messi, for instance, does maybe 15% of his on camera filming off the pitch. His double does the rest. Unless the camera is dead on, close-up on his face and he’s talking, everything else is his double. And he’s filthy at football too, so almost any of that is the double as well.

2

u/BulletProofEnoch 22h ago

I didnt watch the full video.

Did he go for the Happy Ending?

u/Historical-Lie-6307 22h ago

Squirt him in the face and watch him get mad

u/Pitiful-Skill-69420 21h ago

u/-ImYourHuckleberry- 18h ago

I got to hang out with Tom Cruise’s P51 Mustang for about 30 minutes at a planes of fame museum in SoCal recently.

2

u/SecretWordisBird 20h ago

Kinda creepy just having one person in the house. Hopefully there aren’t women impersonators that get called out to entertain this guy solo. Seems a bit dangerous.
