Since he rarely ever talks about anything other than movies, hearing Tom Cruise<\/a> being so insistent that the smartest thing you can do with your money is buy tickets to see a musician on tour can only mean that he\u2019s a huge fan of the performer in question.<\/p>\n Even before his infamous couch-jumping shenanigans and decrial of psychiatry in the mid-2000s saw him close up shop even more than usual and refuse to entertain any questions about his personal life<\/a>, nobody has ever really known what kind of tunes the A-lister listens to behind closed doors, whether he\u2019s doing a Risky Business-esque slide in his underpants or not.<\/p>\n If it\u2019s based on the people he\u2019s professionally endorsed and recruited to record songs for his movies, then it\u2019s an odd mix. Lady Gaga\u2019s Top Gun: Maverick track \u2018Hold My Hand\u2019 joined Mission: Impossible attaches Metallica, Limp Bizkit, and Kanye West in laying down a song for a film that Cruise acted in, produced, and built from the ground up, making for a motley crew if ever there was one.<\/p>\n He belted out a few numbers when showcasing his questionable pipes in the flop jukebox musical Rock of Ages, and Tropic Thunder\u2018s Les Grossman boogied down to Ludacris\u2019 \u2018Get Back\u2019 during the end credits, but unlike his endless obsession with cinema, which he\u2019ll talk about until the cows come home, it\u2019s rare to see the tiny daredevil celebrate his favourite singers.<\/p>\n Of course, rules are made to have exceptions, and for Cruise, it\u2019s Janet Jackson, randomly. When speaking to Entertainment Tonight<\/a> while promoting Mission: Impossible \u2013 Dead Reckoning, the three-time Academy Award nominee revealed that he\u2019d used one of his rare days off to go and catch her live show during the Together Again tour.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was my night off, that was my last break,\u201d he said. \u201cI just want to tell you, go see Janet.\u201d He wasn\u2019t interested in getting the celebrity treatment, either, with Hollywood\u2019s most famous Scientologist adding that he prefers being in the thick of the action, at least when Jackson is on stage: \u201cI\u2019m right in there, yeah, come on! It\u2019s Janet, she\u2019s a legend.\u201d<\/p>\n Clearly, this wasn\u2019t his first rodeo, since Jackson posted an image of the two together on social media, where she referred to him as \u2018T\u2019. People who have three-letter forenames generally don\u2019t have nicknames, but even though she couldn\u2019t be bothered with the \u2018o\u2019 or the \u2018m\u2019, he didn\u2019t mind the abbreviation.<\/p>\n \u201cShe can call me whatever she wants; she\u2019s Janet Jackson,\u201d he gushed, outing himself as a total fanboy. \u201cShe\u2019s a goddess. She\u2019s amazing. I love her. I love her music. She\u2019s also just an extraordinary person.\u201d It\u2019s hard to think of a time when Cruise has described anyone, let alone a musician, in such glowing terms, which no doubt emboldened Glen Powell to try an impress his mentor<\/a> even more.<\/p>\n Jackson\u2019s Together Again tour spanned almost 100 dates across ten countries, selling over a million tickets, which means a lot of people saw her live. However, if you didn\u2019t, you should know that Tom Cruise is very disappointed in you.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Related Topics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Credits: Far Out \/ Alamy) Sun 23 November 2025 22:30, UK Since he rarely ever talks about anything…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":303541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75,78476,9588],"class_list":["post-303540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-janet-jackson","tag-tom-cruise"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=303540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/303541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=303540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=303540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
