Union Lets Tom Cruise Act During Strike From Fear Of What He’ll Do When He Can’t Make Movies

“You can tell there is an unrelenting darkness within him that can only be exorcised by jumping a motorcycle into a canyon or parachuting out of a plane in semi-orbit—and none of us wants to find out where that energy would be redirected were he not able to spend 17 hours a day performing stunts for a camera crew."

Whoops, my breath smelling like onions today…

"Unrelenting darkness within him"? I thought that's why Uncle Xenu installed his Thetan pump so those can be sucked out like some sort of anti-midichlorians.

VentraSqwal,

Glad to see The Onion’s still got it lol

pastermil,

I’d totally believe this story!

Good job, Onion!

LOL. As I was reading the summary, I thought “man, this reads like an article from The Onion”. And sure enough, it is!

riesendulli,

Totally ate the onion on this one, but then it got me thinking of a giant Tom Cruise shooting lasers from his eyes and wrecking DC. Hmmm…

Came real close to biting the onion on this one.

However, you all fear what Cruise will do when he isn’t constantly performing near-suicidal stunts. I fear what Scientology will do when they lose their main cash cow

Who’s the second most bankable celebrity Scientologist? Travolta’s a bit too old, though perhaps we’ll see a rash of prestige-TV roles pushing him as an elder statesman figure. Beyond that, they’d have to make Beck cut a chart-topping EDM album or something, or else start recruiting YouTube influencers to have a chance with the next generation.

Yewb,

Tom cruise is a horcrux prove me wrong.

comfortable_doug,

lol but honestly I thought it was true before checking the source

sadreality,

Ya... It felt right for some weird reason

cubedsteaks,

ricecooker,
