Here are the first pictures of Tom Cruise in a fat suit and bald cap shooting his cameo for Ben Stiller's new comedy Tropic Thunder.

Tom is believed to be playing a studio mogul in the movie, which also stars Matthew McConaughey (replaced Owen Wilson), Robert Downey, Jr., Jack Black, Nick Nolte, Bill Hader and Justin Theroux.

As soon as these images were released all over the internet, the Sci lawyers came out in force threatening legal action on anyone who posted them. I'm actually very surprised you can still find the image up here. These Cult Attys are strong-arm thugs who will stop at nothing to protect their "stars."

Now if he could just cover up his obnoxious personality . . .

[GrouchoMarxist]

So he's trying to be an actor now?

Dressing up as L. Ron, are we, tom?

ya know, the thing that iritates me about this is, my younger brother who followed up on a pretty bad lead, managed to get take this picture after playing sniper for 10 hrs. by himself with no other photog's around for miles and then gets screwed out of $35G because T.C's people threatened suit if INF Daily printed it, yet now this pic is all over the web..grrrr

What is odd about this picture is how not buff his own body is! It must be that he goes into training before his films; usually his biceps are straining against his shirtsleeves. Here his own bod looks positively, dare I say it, MIDDLE AGED?

Oh crap!
I thought it was a campaign prop for Fred Thompson!

Notice they didn't have to enhance the man-titties.

Andrew Sullivan?

They could've used Paul Giamatti and had someone with talent. Then again a fat suit would fit Tom's ego. Nobody struts and prances like Cruise. And if that's all they wanted in the character, he'll do just fine. Now if they wanted stiff, I've got a board in my garage that's a better actor.

An improvement! Tom looks amazingly lifelike there!

[sculptor]

Looking good there fella!

I think I might actually what to go see this one so I can see the true "Inner Tom" shining out!

;-) ;-) ;-)

I think I just threw up a little

Re: Cruise's fat suit

Why doesn't he just get some talent?

[LoRiseAntlers]

What would be great if he would accept a role in which he crawls up his own azzhole and disappears forever.
