Further issues;

The man's a nice guy. He goes around for a very long time, talks to his fans, signs autographs, and gives interviews. Now yeah, he's damned well paid, he's not got the hardest life around, but why does that open him up to humiliation and stuff? (And you say, these things are part of being a celebrity? K! No more protection from libel and slander for you, Mr. Neeson!)

More importantly, there's no way of knowing what it is. Terrorism isn't a big concern of mine but the fact is there are nutters out there who get fixated on a celebtriy and often end up trying to harm them. That could have been a hell of a lot of things a lot nastier than water, and they're lucky there were no armed bodyguards around.

Three, the smug bastard who did it was a smug bastard. I think that's why Tom got annoyed; he was being pretty calm and the tosser was sitting there with a big grin on his face (Quickly changed to a more worried look.), and that would piss anyone off.

Fact is, Cruise remembered the whole time he was on a lot of TV camera, he knew really losing his rag would achieve nothing, and he furthermore didn't even use any language which would need censored (I have NO idea what the big deal about calling the jerk a jerk is.). Props to him for handling the situation about as best as he could have.

Exactly. I would be pretty offended too and in front of all the cameras. Put yourself in his shoes. Do you like it if you were squirted like that in public for actually trying to take an interview seriously? Its a normal reaction -_-
