Tom Cruise once hired a man to follow him down the red carpet with a heater, making the experience warmer, which we suspect caused a stir on the networks.
One of the richest actors in the world can’t seem to take the cold, but he’s wealthy enough to handle it in a simple and effective way.
The photo, posted to Twitter, went viral after a user asked what was the “funniest red carpet moment” they’d seen.
One of them responded by posting the famous photo with a comment: “The time Tom Cruise asked a guy to follow him with a heater to Dublin for the Oblivion premiere”. The tweet received thousands of “likes”.
As it turns out, this wasn’t the first time the actor had used this warm-up technique; different place, different person, but same technique.
Another user didn’t believe the joke, replying: “It’s not strange to find sources of heat near a cold place for staff and actors when it’s really cold. It is a person’s mission to move [les sources de chaleur] and of course she has to make sure there are some near the stars. Someone took a picture of him near a radiator. Big thing!”
Another witness was offended by this reaction and countered that the evening was warm and sunny at the time of the photo, but that meant the star was there for almost two hours speaking to fans and the media before the show. “He should have brought a jacket,” the witness said.
