During his time on the road, Tom Cruise doesn’t avoid exploring and going out in public.
In his 60s, Tom Cruise continues to make the headlines for both his acting, and life off-screen. Tom is always getting praised, not only for his roles but even his treatment of others. The actor was praised for showing his manners alongside a colleague during a public situation. It seems like the same holds true when he’s spotted by fans.

We’ll reveal what the outcome is like for Tom going out in public, and how his security team feels about it. In addition, we’ll reveal how Tom was able to pull off going out in public and watch his own film in theaters with fans. There truly is nobody like the Mission: Impossible star.
Tom Cruise Dressed In A Disguise In The Past To Watch His Own Film
This should come as no surprise, not only does Tom Cruise ride the subway dressed in a disguise, but he does the same when it comes to watching his own films in the movie theaters. Cruise revealed he loves to get a sense of how fans are responding to his films. Therefore, the actor has taken to movie theaters internationally to get a better understanding. As expected, he tries to hide his identity while keeping a low profile.
“I grew up I always wanted to travel the world so when I started making movies, I was able to go watch movies in other countries so I always go watch films with other audiences and watch their movies with them.”
“So, I do. When I make a film I wanna go see it with an audience. I just try to do everything I can, use every tool that I have, to entertain the audience.”
However, Tom did admit that fans tend to be wise at times, and can tell the actor is present. In that case, Tom does sign or take a photo.
“Sometimes they spot me. When I’m sitting next to them, they’ll kind of look over. I’ll do some photos and sign some autographs,” Cruise said.
Given his stardom, Cruise has a security team in place, and they aren’t enthusiastic when the actor decided to ride the subway in public.
Tom Cruise’s Security Team Isn’t Fond Of The Actor Taking The Subway
Speaking alongside Jimmy Kimmel, Tom Cruise revealed that he isn’t opposed to taking public transit, particularly when he’s overseas.
Cruise recalled a particular instance in England in which he was spotted by a fan. The 14-year-old couldn’t believe nobody spotted Cruise. Tom quietly told her to keep it a secret, while she understood and snapped a photo. The audience had a blast with the reveal, while Cruise admits his security team isn’t fond of his public transportation adventures.
The moment can be seen in the reel below.
Fans had a lot to say in the comments, while disclosing their own encounters with celebs. One YouTuber had quite the story of an interaction with Samuel L. Jackson.
“I once saw Samuel L. Jackson in a crowded elevator at the Omni Hotel in San Diego. Everyone was quiet and all of a sudden someone said, “Hey! You’re Samuel L. Jackson!” He started to frantically look around saying, “Where? Where?”
At the very least, Jackson and Cruise have a sense of humor about it all!
Tom Cruise Revealed He Did Use His Celebrity Status On A Particular Occasion
During his earlier days in Hollywood, Tom Cruise discussed using his celebrity status in a public situation. That actor surprisingly revealed that it did take place at one point, but it was to meet another actor, Dustin Hoffman.
Speaking alongside The Uncool, Cruise made the reveal.
“I guess meeting Dustin Hoffman was the closest to that. Usually I would never do anything like that. But I was in this Cuban restaurant up on Columbia Avenue with my little sister. All of a sudden she got up to go the bathroom and when she sat down, she had this big smile of her face. She pointed and said, “That’s Dustin Hoffman over there.” He was doing Death of a Salesman, and I had just gotten back from finishing Legend in London.”
He continues, “I knew that this was his last weekend and it was impossible to get tickets. I feel really shy about going up to people and saying hello, telling them I appreciate their work, but I went up and said, “Hey, Mr. Hoffman,” and he turned around and said, “Cruise?” He was so cool.”
Nowadays, the tables have turned and in all likelihood, other celebs are likely trying to meet Tom Cruise the same way he did with Hoffman years ago.
