Tom Cruise Cameo
In Tropic Thunder, Tom Cruise makes a cameo as a fat, bald movie executive. The filmmakers were hoping to keep Cruise's cameo as a secret, but in November 2008, pictures of the actor in makeup appeared on the television show, Inside Edition, as well as on several internet sites. Cruise's attorneys threatened to sue, and many of the sites agreed to take down the photos. -
