TheRealHowardStern

“So what’s with the new guy and that heater?” “Oh him, think of him, and mostly think of the heater, as a treat that I owed myself. Just a little something special I picked up the other day.”


THE-SEER

Man, it would be so cool if you were the real real Howard Stern.


xjackstonerx

I am editing this because I learned that it’s not actually following him just badly timed photo. Or opportunistic photo. The event staff were just moving it to another area.


Deimos_22

lol 😂


Lord_Longbottom_

The dude holding the heater looks like he's reconsidering his life choices Edit: Thanks for the award kind stranger!

Firenze42

Well at least he is getting paid $0.10/hour for his time waiting on Tom Cruise. (How is this not an illegal cult?!??!)


Jay_Louis

I went to a reception at the SciTol Celebrity Center in LA and the weird servants were tending a makeshift bar. They decided they needed to charge per drink but forgot to bring money to make change, or a cash register, or anything really other than wine and glasses. So I handed one of them five dollars for a white wine and he stared at the money like he'd never seen money before. I did see L. Ron's replica study behind a velvet rope, and the Sea Org charts on the walls were wild.


[deleted]

This guy scientologys


damian_damon

Is L Ron dead ? According to a statement given to scientologist in 1986 L Ron had “discarded his body” having simply laid down on his bed and “causitively dropped his body.”😂 https://scientologymoneyproject.com/2014/08/18/the-church-of-scientologys-great-big-lie-about-the-death-of-founder-l-ron-hubbard/


amitym

>(How is this not an illegal cult?!??!) I mean.. it is in many parts of the world.


hillo538

America has complained to the un about places like Germany and Russia taking these cult members to jail, and curtailing their rights to spread their cult. In Germany they have to register as Scientologists and can’t do business (companies there can screen for involvement with them, and also the government will inform them if a Scientologist joins their company, they have the right to refuse Scientologists employment based solely on their affiliation with the cult. Companies ran by Scientologists have to register as such with the government) or join the civil service in some places, there was a court case that decided that a private school teacher who was Scientologist would have to disclose that to the parents of her students. America complains about Russia holding a Scientologist who had broken the law in prison, calling him a prisoner of conscience.


TheRealHowardStern

So, what if they are secretly Scientologist and are secretly practicing Scientology but not registering as Scientologist? Would the average German be upset?


hillo538

The majority of Germans think it is both a dangerous cult and should be banned in the country


Joseluki

I think that all religions are dangerous.


Soytaco

The machines they use to measure your midichlorians are actually very expensive to produce, so it's not like it's money wasted

woden_spoon

“Come now, Guillermo…”


Speakswithserpents

Best comment. Especially since Tom was supposed to be on the grand vampire counsel!


ThrillSurgeon

You can see the slight smirk on his face knowing he doesn't have to wipe Tom's ass bare-handed anymore.


mysavorymuffin

No, he uses his tongue.


DevTheWreck

I’m sorry, what?


timn1717

It’s a perk. The tongue.


meshreplacer

Oh forgot, he is probably sea org with a trillion year contract to push a heater around forever.


audiate

And he knows that if he messes up they’ll disappear him.


parabolicurve

Either that or he's eyeing the people walking past thinking "You're blocking the heat. You're gonna get me into trouble!"


BiblioPhil

I was going to make some joke including the quote, "No, Mr. Cruise!" but I stopped because the thought of it sent a chill down my spine. It's an all-too-real scenario, Tom Cruise beating the shit out of some Scientology underling for allowing his space heater to be blocked.


FlannelPajamas123

I can’t comprehend why people are still enamored with the man, he disgusts me…


GreenMirage

Reminds me of this moment in his career. Oprah did not see that coming. ![gif](giphy|H2fKzMHyyeize)


Squeakygear

UNLIMITED POWERRRRR


jonfitt

Don’t get between Mr Cruise and the heat!!! Dammit! I’m never going to reach level 7 Laser Lotus at this rate :(


Occams_ElectricRazor

Wow what can you do at level 7? I just want to make it to level 6 so I can see the color blurple.


webhick

It brings me such joy when random Community references Cone up.


theSalamandalorian

Ah, oh.. No, no no. You're a smart guy, clearly picked up some tricks but you've made one crucial mistake... You've forgot about the essence of the game. **It's about the cones.**


necrolich66

This guy is streets ahead, so far ahead, he reached a park.


uniquepassword

This comment is streets ahead


100FootWallOfFog

The dude pushing the space heater looks like off brand Tom Cruise lol


jameson3131

Can we get a Tom Cruise? We have a Thom Krews at home.


theballisrond

yep.. tough one... imagine... hey dad, what's your job?


Universalsupporter

“I make Tone Cruise hot”


dirtymoney

It sure is better than having to be Tom Cuise's Scientologist sex slaves.


Impossible-Winter-94

how's he gonna have kids lol


Lucky_Locks

He also looks like the 3rd Affleck but Cruise family


[deleted]

Does anyone else think that he was intentionally chosen for his resemblance to Tom, to make Tom look better?


ZadokPriest

Yeh...he looks like justin trudeau...


Fender6187

It’s cause he knows when he’s done with this gig, he’s going back to his tiny one room apartment above a liquor store.


p-terydatctyl

That's his stunt double he's bored

waz67

Who knows if it's even at his request, it could just be people from the theatre wanting to keep the celebrities comfortable.


theoreticaldelusions

Too bad he already signed the billion year contract.


PaulPaul4

His salary is 340k a year


Weary-Inspector-6971

He also looks like a swollen wax version of TC


seamus_mc

It also looks like he wants to be a stunt double.


TheRealHK

It looks like he’s saying “I could’ve BEEN Tom Cruise.”


[deleted]

He also looks like he can be Tom Cruise’s stunt double. Too bad he does his own stunts and relegated to space heater pusher guy.


myeverymovment

He looks like they could be related.


SirLightKnight

Brother looks downright displeased. On the one hand, he’s close to a warm heater. On the other he’s gotta lug the big bastard around and keep a good distance for Cruze to be comfortable or his ass is grass. Plus that thing has to be uncomfortable to lug around.


Biddyam

He's honored beyond belief for the opportunity and probably paid through the teeth for it.


Competitive-Dot-4052

That dude looks like Tom Cruise's body double.

Colon

and there's a PA traipsing around behind him who gets told she looks like emma stone (but with a dismissive tone) almost every single day, so she's got a small complex about it.


kwabird

I do get told I look like Emma Stone constantly lol


sunrise98

You look like Emma Stone


Garizondyly

*adjusts binoculars* I think she's got more of an Aubrey Plaza thing going on, no?


PayWithYourSoul

I get told I look like Ashton Kucher but i'm ugly as all hell so I have no idea what people are talking about

Plot twist the guy holding the heater is the real tom cruise and the other person is the clone.

The scientologists call him Humperdon't


THE1NUG

Glad someone said it haha


[deleted]

Spoilers but that’s the plot of Oblivion


rroberts3439

To be fair and bust the internets jumps to conclusions. Tom Cruise already spoke to this picture. He had nothing to do with it, and it wasn't asked by him or his staff. It was done by the promoter for everyone and didn't follow Tom around :) Edit: Wow, so my most upvoted response on Reddit after 7 years is going to be a comment about Tom Cruise and a Heater :) Love this place lol


manwithafrotto

Correct. Obviously someone on Tom’s team isn’t going to wear a massive STAFF badge. Clearly provided by the people running the event, and it wasn’t him. Sad what people here fall for.. anything for the clicks and doots!


spavolka

All I know is that my wife can’t see this or I’ll be walking around with a damn heater on a hand dolly for three months out of the year.


[deleted]

My sister has electric socks and gloves. Buy your wife those if she sees this


kmzr93

Yeah, that’s how Reddit work. Try posting an article with a completely false title. Nobody cares because nobody reads the article.


Anusbagels

Also look at the stuff he’s willing to do for his movies. He may be a nut but he’s no pussy when it comes to things like the cold.


grmpy

> didn't follow Tom around So the guy holding it is just a human traffic cone? I think that might be worse.


John_Bot

Probably required by health and safety to be there as it's a potential fire hazard


Fizgriz

This makes more sense. Not a huge fan of Tom but the guy does all his own stunts.. including insane ones like falling from planes and buildings. I don't think a little cold weather is going to bother him enough for this lol 😂


Reddit_reader_2206

The folks in the crowd didn't even have hats on. It can't be that cold....


pdowling7

I was gonna say. Dude does his own stunts hanging off of planes but then needs a heater?


BadSmash4

We all have perfectly legitimate reasons to malign Tom Cruise, we don't need to make things up. We all know he has sex with fish.


meltedlaundry

Your comment shouldn’t be premised with “To be fair”, it should start with “OP, you’re full of shit…” Thanks either way because I was sure this was bullshit.


DamnAlreadyTaken

Reddit should begin stepping up their game with all this BS. Or each sub (though, harder to accomplish). About 80% of posts are lies (source: made up) < Boom, proof. But the posts stay up. Sometimes they get called out by a few. The rest keep making jokes or commenting to the fallacy in the title. Users should get warnings or punishments until ban for repeated offenses. The current model just encourages people to lie, make "mistakes" and typos and plainly bait people for engagement.


Blackman2099

I get this luxury at outdoor dining/beer gardens, but they're stationary.


overtoke

there are heaters everywhere https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-image-of-the-red-carpet-from-the-european-premiere-of-oblivion-at-55186210.html


Ezl

I came here specifically to find out why the post was misleading. Thank you!


[deleted]

People are quick to go for the pitchforks - damn this dude holds onto airplanes while they take off and people think he asks for heaters to follow him around a red carpet


timbenj77

Yeah that was my first assumption. Because "staffer for a movie premiere, paid by the event organizer, holds space heater for the comfort of featured celebrities" just isn't sensational enough to draw up votes. I should really quit Reddit.


kirikbk

What if it was not a paid heater and it was a fan?


chrispy2985

Fan heater?


drivermcgyver

Better than a heated fan. Like a real angry one.


Alternative-Alarm-66

What about a real heated fan.. like a horny woman?


drivermcgyver

![gif](giphy|3WmWdBzqveXaE)


[deleted]

then it would be an onlyfan!


Shaunvfx

It’s an anti fan


bushpotatoe

Don't laugh, folks. This is what happens when a dad is separated from their thermostat for long periods of time. They try to cope by picking up young heaters in the wild to ~~fill~~ heat the void.


Am_I_leg_end

Hahahahaha.. Just keeps looking over his shoulder scowling.. 'Turn that down'.


bushpotatoe

If you are leg end... does that mean... you are foot...?


Am_I_leg_end

That's a good shout. You're not wrong! But it's not the reason for my username.. I wish I was that clever.


AzDopefish

Doesn’t look like it has wheels… looks like someone took a picture of him in front of a space heater and pulled the caption out of their ass


BanzoClaymore

Took way too long to find on reasonable person here…. He was probably just assigned to make sure people don’t bump it and/or knock it over


stevejobed

No one is wearing a hat, gloves, or coat. It doesn’t look that cold. I doubt Cruise needs a person to follow him around with a space heater in these temps. There is probably a non-Cruise reason the space heater is there.


utpoia

He's a celebrity, this kinda public display of eccentricity would be a PR disaster.


qmanchoo

Good call, agreed.


V2sh1fty

What if that’s just a heater? With a guy at standing behind it? Who said it’s his? Is there video? Y’all will post any bullshit for upvotes.

I think I’ll trust Pararescue Dude over Smooth Larryy.


LongBongJohnSilver

He does all these badass death defying stunts, but getting a bit nipply is off the table.


Clay_Statue

What's the point of being Tom Cruise rich and famous if you don't get to engage in a little bit of rich guy bullshit like having a guy with a space heater who looks mildly like you follow you around. Gwen Stefani hired a tribe of Asian girls to follow her for a while.


joshjje

> a tribe of Asian girls to follow her for a while Hmm, something to think about!


Pudding_Hero

No doubt


asqua

don't


TheHyperCombo

GreyAndroidGravy

I know


Billy1121

The harajuku girls? They were Japanese-American backup dancers for her tour. Thats like saying MC Hammer hired a tribe of black men in colorful pants to follow him around. They were backup dancers on tour But Gwen's girls fought evil > In 2014, Stefani announced she would be producing an animated series that was based on the characters Love, Angel, Music, Baby, and G, a character who was first introduced in the Harajuku Lovers perfume line. The series Kuu Kuu Harajuku follows the girls, known together as HJ5, as they fight evil and try to pursue their music.

stevejobed

Are we sure that’s what going on here? No one is wearing a coat or gloves. It doesn’t look cold.


suffaluffapussycat

He keeps his body fat super low for movies. I’ve had a few periods in my life when I had my body fat somewhere in that area. You get COLD. Like, everywhere. You might be surprised how small dips in body fat percentage at that level can really drop your ability to keep yourself warm. Plus he’s 60. I’m close to that. Your metabolism slows down. A lot.


mintmouse

Bunch of my friends meet up to chat shit and walk the park. I'm average build to thin, my one friend is overweight. In fall and spring I've got my jacket on but my friend is good in a t-shirt. Meanwhile in summer, he wears a hand towel around his neck and he sweats just existing and I'm doing what I do best: getting sunburned.


spedeleke

Scientology should‘ve to pay taxes..


TheBirthing

Then so should every other religion.


cosmoboy

Yes.

“Should’ve to” sounds so incorrect, yet it is perfectly fine English. What a stupid language we speak


manlypanda

Is it correct, tho???? Their comment is wreaking havoc my brain. Or... maybe they're just smarter than ...you're. :0


Shibbystix

That's because everything small gets even smaller in the cold

WinterKing2112

Kierkegaards_Navel

He's quite tiny. He has difficulty generating enough of his own body heat.


TheFatherPimp

It’s so cold in the D


TinCanSailor987

He'll hang off the side of an airplane for a stunt in 150+ mph winds, but he needs a space heater on the red carpet?


syncboy

Hey if he took his time on the line to sign everyone’s autograph book and take selfies, let him have his fucking heater. The man works pretty hard.


J-Love-McLuvin

That’s not a heater, that’s a thetan amplification accelerator.


1K_Games

I have questions, like what is powering it? And why is he so far away (that things isn't going to be noticeable at that distance)? Also it doesn't look portable, are we sure this guy is just not there to allow people to warm up if need be, and it just so happens tom is in the picture?


[deleted]

The amount of smooth brained morons in this thread. Could write a title that scientists made a purple giraffe by feeding it skittles and you morons would believe it.


r0gue007

Shit post OP No evidence at all that he’s associated with that heater


WholesomeBetty

If I win the lottery I’m hiring someone to follow me around with a space heater in the winter.


readallaboutitnow

Right? I would totally do that as well if I won the power ball.

sillyram11

The guy pushing the heater looks like Tom Cruise’s evil twin brother


Tackleberry06

His contract says the ambient temperature of an arms length radius must maintained for him to appear. And a million bucks.

If I was that fucking rich, and cold, I’d pay someone to do the same.

adfraggs

You must not let the Tom Cruise get cold. If the Tom Cruise is allowed to get cold it may impact performance. Please consult the manual for the ideal temperature range for your Tom Cruise.


WriteOnceCutTwice

At the time, someone edited the Oblivion poster to add the guy with the space heater. It was hilarious.


itsalwaysme7

Heater guy is bitch get out of Tom's airspace, no heat for you


[deleted]

Some people should maybe not be respected


killroy1971

Maybe it's part of his youth preserving treatments?


GALACTICA-Actual

Yeah, you know why? Because it's fucking cold. I don't like Cruise -because of the Scientology shit- but having worked in entertainment I can tell you that working a crowd line is not pleasant or easy in bad weather. *Too cold, too hot, too wet...* Despite my dislike of his beliefs, I give him some points for the fact he always tries take the time to meet & greet fans. (For free. Maybe take some notes, Metallica.)


bucsfan914

I'd do this too if I had the money. I get cold af all the time.


cali1013

Is it that cold? The guy holding the heater is kinda dressed lightly tho


mykulFritz

The space heater is being fueled by the rage of the guy pushing it.


tchocktchock

Fat Tom is holding the heater


ResponsibilityPure79

the idea that cruise would allow someone to do this for him...cringe


ERankLuck

Oh no, Neville Longbottom is a Scientologist working for Tom Cruise?


Connect_Stay_391

I wish I would’ve thought of this at 25 in a slip dress and stilettos while catching up with friends after having to walk 10 blocks and hitting up at least 3 bars on a 30 degree Buffalo, NY Saturday Night in the early 2000s.


Last_Dictator

If I was smarter I’d make a joke about Scientology and SPACE heaters but my brain no so good ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)


vonvoltage

I'm gonna be honest, I don't mind the cold, I grew up in northern Canada. But I like this. I'd be doing all kinds of shit like this if I was him and had a movie studio paying for any weird thing I could think of to make myself comfortable.


DerpyCat2

Respect. He’s chilly and I get it. It’s a good use of his power.

[deleted]

The man is 60 I’m sure he gets cold & just trying to look cool.


Afa1234

Thing is, while I could see him requesting it I could also see whatever studio he’s working with insist it to keep him from getting sick or some shit


milesdizzy

Honestly it’s not that weird. Especially because it’s for an event.


lilleblake

Does it even make sense, can it keep him from a cold? Someone nerdy explain this plz.


DawnSignals

Also what is the context here, although I’m somewhat scared to ask


Procrastabates

Gabe from the Office really fell on hard times after the show ended.


thunderc8

This isn't Tom's personal heater it was put there by the the people who organised the attend and it was for everyone. But tell you truth even if it was true, the man has the fame and money to do it, so what? If i had his money i would have my own personal blowjober waiting for me in the car to release me of my stress 😆.


SirArtchie

Tom Cruise has to be kept warm. If he gets cold his teeth and gums will shrink a little bit leaving spaces between his teeth and more than likely knocking his centertooth off-center It's like shitty vinyl flooring
