You get the highest civilian honor for pumping out propaganda and driving recruitment.
So no shade (despite the fact that I don’t like Tom Cruise) but he looks 15 years older here than he did during the filming of Maverick
Yeah, he looks closer to a man his age.
The magic of Hollywood my friend
He probably thought he was being honored by the Sea Org.
You win the internet today, my friend.
An upvote is not enough. I must provide an unnecessary comment to support this as the best comment. You're doing Xenu's work.
"Recruiter Of The Year"
I was going to say that while his acting was fine in Top Gun and A Few Good Men and such, he's also been paid for that, and I feel that an award should really require going above-and-beyond.
But I looked at the recipients of that medal, and it has a long list of political recipients, people like Jared Kushner. I'm not sure that the medal has a lot of integrity to safeguard.
As a common point of confusion, Tom Cruise was surprised to receive a call from the Navy instead of the Air Force.
