Tom Cruise, icon of the asexual revolution
From the moment Tom Cruise confessed to Reader’s Digest magazine that women “smell good. They look pretty. I love women. I do.” we all kind of knew that the day was coming. And yet I didn’t expect it so soon and I feel so unprepared for the toothy, intense storm of womanising that may be about to occur:
TOM Cruise is set to play Hugh Hefner in a new biopic of the Playboy founder’s life, and hopes that it will confound all those who doubt his acting ability.
The 45-year-old actor, who has an 18-month-old daughter Suri with his actress wife Katie Holmes, is hot favourite to portray the 81-year-old lothario in upcoming movie Playboy and is reportedly excited about the prospect of bringing Hefner’s “colourful life” to the big screen.
A source close to the actor said: “Tom knows of Hugh’s colourful past and thinks he would be the perfect person to bring it to the big screen.
“He also thinks the role would be a challenge for him, and would remind people of his versatility as an actor. At the moment people are concentrating on his personal life, and his marriage to Katie – but he wants to remind them that he can act too.”
I don’t know how he plans to pull this off, but he’s going to need more than just a smoking jacket and seven blonde girlfriends by his side. Because as I see it, the guy currently looks way more Halston rather than Hefner.
There’s no way in the world he is going to be believable in this role. He’s not even believable in his role as a husband and father!
Oh, no. No no no no no no no no. Delusion has hit his tiny little head.
