Cruise's Property Advice (contactmusic.com), Jan. 23, 2009 www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/cruises%20property%20advice_1092606TOM CRUISE can add property advisor to his list of talents, after urging a co-star to buy a house before the current recession hit. The Top Gun actor discovered Tom Hollander, who he appeared alongside in war movie Valkyrie, was planning to invest in a property but was unsure whether to go through with the expensive purchase. Cruise was adamant his pal should commit to the buy, insisting he'd regret pulling out of the deal - and Hollander was delighted he ended up taking the star's advice. He says. "It's very exciting because it's yet another situation where Tom Cruise is brilliant. I am not like him though I share the same name. "We had one conversation on the set where I was just chit chatting about I was wondering about buying a house and I had been reading about sub-prime mortgages which I didn't really know what they were. I was a bit nervous about it and I thought maybe I should pull out and I told this to Tom really embarrassingly just as something to say. "He went 'What you're gonna pull out, what's that? Buyer's remorse before you've even bought?' And I thought 'Oh yeah, I am such a loser I should be more like him.' So I rang my solicitor and said 'Buy it, buy it, it's fine Tom Cruise said buy it'."

Co-star reveals what Cruise is like on set (Channel 4 News, London - 25 Jan 2009) www.channel4.com/news/articles/arts_entertainment/costar+reveals+what+cruise+is+like+on+set/2910652Tom Cruise's co-star in Valkyrie has revealed what he is really like to work with off set. Pirates of the Caribbean star Tom Hollander said Cruise gave him purchase advice. Hollander said: "He's a very upbeat, positive sort of person, and I told him I was about to buy a house but was a bit worried because I've been reading reports in newspapers that sub-prime mortgages are a bit weird, and he went 'What's the matter? You're not going to buy? What's with that - buyers remorse before you've even bought?' "So I thought 'I'm such a loser, that's why he's Tom Cruise and I'm Tom Hollander', so I picked up the phone and said 'Buy it, buy it, buy it.'" "And now look. It's halved in value. So we all can't be like Tom Cruise. You've got to be careful." Valkyrie, which is based on actual events, is about the plot to assassinate Hitler during the height of WWII. The film is out in cinemas now.

I was sad when I read this: 'I'm such a loser, that's why he's Tom Cruise and I'm Tom Hollander.'I do not like that him put himself decline this way. But if he said, in the funny way, all right.
