Get Your TomM:I Gun

Posted Oct 11th 2006 6:37PM by TMZ Staff

Tired of trying to re-enact your favorite "Mission Impossible" moment with your boring imagination? Why not take on bad guys with a reel deal (pun intended) weapon from the set of the movie?

Turns out one of the rubber stunt guns used by Tom Cruise during filming of "Mission Impossible 2" is now up for auction on eBay. According to the seller, the rubber Beretta 92FS Brigadier was the very hand cannon waved around by Tom Cruise throughout the production, when he wasn't firing a live gun of course. Which begs the question -- Why was Tom firing a live gun on the set?

But, if pretend violence isn't exactly your cup of tea, maybe some original doodle art by Mr. Cruise and his ex-wife Mimi Rogers would tickle your fancy. An eBay seller claims the "art" was originally drawn for charity and includes signatures from both Tom and Mimi. We have no idea what the crazy design is supposed to represent, but it really doesn't matter. Just think about how cool Rosie O'Donnell will think you are when it's hanging on your wall.

Cruise's Revealing New Interview

Posted Apr 5th 2006 6:40PM by TMZ Staff

In a telling new interview out this weekend in PARADE magazine, Tom Cruise talks candidly about his father -- a father he claims was abusive and "a merchant of chaos."

Speaking at his home to PARADE Contributing Editor Dotson Rader, Tom says his childhood was difficult. "I had no really close friend, someone who understands you. I was always the new kid with the wrong shoes, the wrong accent. I didn't have the friend to share things with and confide in." He says that loneliness, combined with a father who he calls "a bully and a coward," made growing up extremely hard.

Tom says his father was "the kind of person where, if something goes wrong, they kick you. It was a great lesson in my life -- how he'd lull you in, make you feel safe and then, bang! For me, it was like, 'There's something wrong with this guy. Don't trust him. Be careful around him.' There's that anxiety."
