Japan Introduces World to 'Tom Cruise Day'
While the idea of Tom Cruise having a day dedicated to his weirdness seems completely disconcerting, it will soon become a reality; the Japanese Memorial Day Association decided to give the actor a special day named in Toms honor. The association believes Cruise deserves this nod because of his love and close association with the country.
Cruise's film, The Last Samurai, grossed $117 million more in Japan than it did in the US. The actor has paid more visits to the country than any other major Hollywood star and spends hours on end with fans in the country.
His public relations tour of Japan last spring to promote Mission: Impossible III included a trip on the bullet train from Osaka to Tokyo, during which he had his photo taken with more than 100 fans. During that trip, Cruise told the press he wanted to shoot the next installment in the action series in Japan.
Cruise declined to comment on the honor, but if he does make a statement, Im sure it will involve a lot of couch-jumping and yelling, I love this country!
Cruise with fiance, Katie Holmes.
