Tom Cruise is smart.

Tom can't be seen with a different cult leader. Especially one that looks like L. Ron Hubbard.

“The hosting move follows Trump announcing that he was forming a special task force in charge of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, with himself appointed chairman.” Please IOC - is there any place that can host instead?

I read that also and immediately first thought was….fuck the Olympics. I’ll miss this one if he has anything g to do with it!

I will watch 47 host the Kennedy Center Honors event only if he parachutes down to the event (he must pack his own chute!).

I may have gained some respect for Cruise here.

Everyone has their moment to do the right thing. Well done Tom

Mixed feelings here. While I’m happy he turned recognition down I’m disappointed he used the excuse “scheduling conflict”. My props would have been complete had he just said..no thanks ya nutty fuck ya!

Me too 😆

Keep it simple

this was well done my personal vote would be the les grossman version 🤣🤣🤣

In an Ego war between Tom Cruise and Fat Don I will take bet on Tom Cruise doing the work to win. He's been trying to kill himself on camera for years.

Good for you, Tom.

if someone wanted to boycott something krasnov's kennedy center would be the place to boycott

I hope they all get the flu on awards night

Right?! The uber Scientologist shuns a treasonous, cult leader President. The irony.

Even cuckoo Tom Cruise can see through it! 😳

Would steal Trumps spotlight.

The article just said Cruise won't attend due to "scheduling conflicts"—how do you make the leap that it's because he doesn't want to accept the award from Trump? I'd like to believe it, but that's not how the story reads.

Can't wait to see his childish reaction to the poor ratings his show will have. Oh wait, he'll just make up the ratings

BUT, in the end, he IS STILL a Scientologist, and thus, as dumb as drumpf.

well - Its his choice to be a Scientologist . Freedom . He is still making movies . He is making big bucks making movies. Scientology has worked for him / and for John travolta too . Does he care? Trump taking over the center..makes the award FUcked up.

this is also true. his PR handlers know full well what happened to his image after the oprah sofa jumping up and down incident

The article unfortunately doesn’t „Trump also announced that he will personally host the ceremony. He noted he always wanted a Kennedy Center award but “was never able to get one … I said, ‘The hell with it, I’ll become chairman and I’ll give myself an honor.’ Next year, we’ll honor Trump, OK?”
