How many people who weren't told beforehand realized that Tom Cruise was in Tropic Thunder?

Question

I only realized it was him in the last shot when he whispers to his assistant. I am just wondering if I am the only one that took that long to catch on. I think their makeup/hair people rock! He totally looked bald. dorky and potbellied. lol.

Answer 1

I didn't even know that but also I haven't seen the movie.

Answer 2

Hahaha yeah, i recognized his eyes and was like "wait a second..." I was trying to place him for like his whole first scene, haha. I thought he was hilarious though, he was great. So was Mathew McConaughey...big suprises to me.

Answer 3

I had no idea until the credits were rolling! It was crazy! Props to the hair and make-up crew in that movie! xD

Answer 4

They probably didn't tell people so Tom Cruise wouldn't scare them away.

Answer 5

I did because I know he was in it but you can tell I mean he does resemble him only fatter and hairier but it took my Mom that long too.

Answer 6

tom who?
