9. Remember this man is an actor. So, he could be acting during the taping. He forgot he has children. I suggest he think about his action as a human being. LOSER

15. Tom Cruise is a loser as is John Travolta..they both should have never been allowed to have children. They would chose religion over their children no matter how many PR pictures are out there of John and his son or Tom idiot Cruise and his children.
