Saw this on Drudge... Can't we just move Hollywood to Australia? Cruise Kids to Live 'Far and Away' Monday, July 01, 2002 By Michael Y. Park NEW YORK — He's an all-American movie star, but Tom Cruise said his children will be making All the Right Moves — by moving out of America. "I think the U.S. is terrifying and it saddens me," he told the British paper the Daily Express. "You only have to look at the state of affairs in America." At the Minority Report premiere Cruise, who is known for his role in the Mission Impossible flicks as a slick superagent for Truth, Justice and the American way, said his adopted children Isabella, 9, and Connor, 7, will grow up outside the United States. They will probably be raised in Australia, his ex-wife Nicole Kidman's homeland. Cruise, whose character became similarly disillusioned with America in Born on the Fourth of July, said raising children in the U.S. is a risky business. He said he could no longer keep his 'eyes wide shut' to America's terrorism threat, crime, faltering financial status and corporate corruption. "I do worry about my children. As a parent you are always concerned," he told the paper. "I just want them to be in a place where they are going to be strong enough to make the right choices. Unfortunately, we're in a position where people are so irresponsible that human life holds such little value to them." It was the first time the Hollywood heavyweight expressed such doubts about America. He lives in Beverly Hill, Calif. Cruise and Kidman were divorced last year and have joint custody of their children. "I depend on Nic where bringing up the kids is concerned," Cruise told the paper. "But it has to be both of us."
Ugh...enough with the movie title puns. I'd like to find "A Few Good Men" who could send that author "Far and Away" from here.
I think he is terryfied that a country would choose Mr Deeds over Minority Report. That terrifies me as well. os

Honestly, why does it matter what Tom Cruise thinks? Does anyone base their life decisions on what actors do? I don't see anyone walking around wearing WWTCD (What Would Tom Cruise Do) bracelets. He's entitled to his opinion, as we all are. It doesn't mean we have to agree with it. Besides, the kids mother (and grandparents) live in Australia, so it's not that unusual.
Tom Cruise, look no further than the life you and others live in the spotlight in Hollywood for your answer. Cruise is one of Hollywood's most overrated actors, anyway. Most of Hollywood has been brainwashed, or so it seems, and this shouldn't be earth-shattering news.
Elvis, did you know that you're being 'chic' by moving out of the country on Tuesday? Anything to be in fashion...
Ummm,Alquieda said two weeks ago that they plan on killing 4 million americans, I would move to if I could. bin laden said he plans on attacking soon ,then come on the air with a video saying " see,i warned the exact time and place and you still couldnt stop me" Tom is smart,very smart. watch out for july 4,new york
shouldgetodom, You response to terrorist threats is exactly what terrorists want. Hook, line and sinker.
Dude, it is extremely scary to live in Beverly Hills! 1)the odds of getting run over by a Rolls Royce being driven by a man who is simultaneously(a)putting gel in his hair while checking his tan in the rear view mirror, (b)talking to his stockbroker/shrink on his cellphone and (c)drinking a whey and wheatgrass smoothie are very high! 2)You could get smothered to death by oversized breast implants (this might not sound scary, but imagine if they were on an 85 year old woman!) 3)If your chakras get out of whack, they deport you to Inglewood! Take it from me...Beverly Hills is a very scary place to live!
your post above was EXACTLY why I found Politically Incorrect to be so dull and pointless....I could not care less what Tom Cruise thinks about politics and world affairs....
"I make films about the devaluation of human life . . and about a corrupt america. . . but .. . when reality reflects that . . .i have to move" Tom Cruise. bye Tom . . . and don't send anymore movies back here . . .okay?! Rocket River
