Has anyone ever explained how they got Tom Cruise to do Rock of Ages? Tom Cruise is not the first or even 100th name I think of when I hear the words campy rock musical. I'm not complaining it's just a big departure from the Tom Cruise we all know. They had him in chaps and a thong, swinging around on a stripper pole, a wild codpiece and gun Adonis belt tattoos.
Stacee Jaxx performing "Wanted Dead or Alive" went straight to the vagina. As did his "I'm a slave to rock and roll" monologue leading to the duet of "I Want To Know What Love Is". His drunken, jaded, lonely, aged rockstar really did something for me. I'd let him sing into my butthole, I'd pour my sugar on him.
I would not be mad if he did another musical. His voice ain't bad. Someone call his agent or David Miscavige and have them get on that.
That whole musical is a fever dream and really majority of the casting is unexpected. One day I'll do a rundown of its craziness.
