14 DAY TRIAL // Dodgers fans really don’t like Tom Cruise. The actor was at the recent Game 4 of the NLCS and, when the celebrity camera zoomed in on him and his face was shown on the large screen, he got anything but love. Moreover, he was mocked, BleacherReport informs.
This isn’t just hearsay either, because the e-zine has screenshots of people’s reactions on Twitter. The fans really did not like seeing Tom there, but they certainly had plenty of love for Bryan Cranston, most recently seen on AMC’s “Breaking Bad” as Walter White / Heisenberg.
According to eyewitnesses, a “loud booing” was heard when Tom made it on the celebrity cam. As if that weren’t enough to do some serious damage to his reportedly over-inflated ego, the fans also started chanting a song that mocked his height.
Word has it that Tom is super sensitive on the topic, even forbidding ex-wife Katie Holmes from wearing high heels on the red carpet, lest she would make him appear much shorter than he was.
“Even better (or worse, if you’re a Cruise fan), the stadium DJ allegedly started spinning ‘I Wish’ by Skee-Lo when the camera found Cruise,” says the report. That would be the song that includes the line “Wish I was a little bit taller,” which, we assume, came as a serious blow to Cruise.
He might have walked out of the stadium with a heavy heart, but Bryan Cranston certainly didn’t, says the same report.
The moment the “Breaking Bad” star was shown on screen, the fans went wild. Then again, his AMC show is considered one of the best written series ever in the history of television, and even legendary Sir Anthony Hopkins praised him for his stellar performance, so perhaps this should really be no surprise at all.
If one were to speculate on what made Cruise so unpopular, one wouldn’t be completely in the wrong assuming it’s down to his ties with the Church of Scientology. Especially after his divorce from Katie Holmes, described in the tabloid media more as an “escape” than a breakup, both the Church and Tom have been on the receiving end of very bad press.
