The Tom Cruise Secret

We suspected it as far back as Far And Away in 1992, but it has finally been confirmed…

Tom Cruise is a leprechaun. The diminutive star was in Ireland supporting the release of his science fiction actioner, Oblivion when he was presented with a certificate of Irish heritage by Ireland’s deputy prime minister, Eamon Gilmore. It turns out that Cruise’s great-great-great grandfather was an Irish landlord called Patrick Russell Cruise. To celebrate Cruise learned how to pour a pint of stout at the Guinness factory.

Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes have already attempted to get their hands on Cruise’s pot of gold.
