"Watch Tom Cruise get squirted with water"

Was at the war of the worlds premiere in London. Apparently Channel 4 is filming a new prank show but Mr.Cruise didn't find it very funny...

But that's not really a case of "OMFG JUMP ON HIM!" for the police.

Question : If Tom was to throw that towell that he had in his hand at the guy who pulled the prank would he have been breaking the law?

Is spraying someone with water such a serious offence though?

I just watched it again because i was showing my dad and i noticed just after it happened there were policemen in the background walking the opposite way...good job lads!

Despite Cruise being, allegedly, a gay midget scientologist freak - I think this incident will serve him more good press then 2hr walkabouts at premiers.

Yeah thats true. He is one of my favourite actors because he always does the best job he can and as you say he isnt big headed.

Thats why i thought the pranker guy was an idiot because he wasted his time when there were plenty of other fans there who wouldnt have squirted in his face.

Wasn't funny at all. I don't know what that fool hoped to get out of squirting him, but he obviously didn't get it. Cruise totally made him look and feel like an idiot. He handled himself in the best way possible.

I thought the "You're a jerk" was great.
