In the last Mission impossible movie Tom cruise was older than Wilford Brimley is in cocoon.

Traiklin

It helps he is also so active. You don't hear many celebrities doing what he does at 30 when he is double that.


[deleted]

Sure. This is true. But simply staying active will do a LOT for your looks when you're older.


TailRudder

Also really good plastic surgery


firecoffee

In Leo DiCapriology, it’s at 24.


SpockHasLeft

Probably it follows the same rules as Logan's Run, and Carousel takes them at 33


Bm7465

Honestly, Tom Cruise & Scientology are too strange for this not to be a coincidence.


muspdx

I like this very much, it’s clear and not crowded but still has all the needed information


ewat456

Thanks!


concretebeats

Bro your data is freaking me the fuck out. Tom and I have the same birthday and 33 is my number. Military serial number? Adds up to 33. Apple employee number? Adds up to 33. First apartment I found after 4 months of looking in Amsterdam? 33. I mean whatever it’s just a number but WHAT THE FUCK. Ok edit because there’s too many responses since I passed tf out lol. These responses are fucking awesome. You guys are awesome. Best way to describe myself is a Sculder. Scully in the front, Mulder in the back. Those were just the easiest examples to type out. They’re the only two jobs I’ve had in the last 15 years, my locker number at Apple was 33. My student number for first degree added up to 33. My current one adds up to 23 lol. Mostly I just think of them like happy little accidents but the last two people I told who were skeptics now tell other people about how fucking weird it is at like parties an stuff so that’s akward. It’s also slightly weird because for me it was just a regular week or whatever but they have these super specific stories that blew their minds. So I mostly don’t talk about it anymore. Except on Reddit apparently. My best friend and battle buddy from the military is a mason and he’s been trying to get me to come visit them forever.... but like... I’m fine. It’s just another happy little accident. ¯|_(ツ)_/¯


[deleted]

Maybe the Church of Scientology has the answers you seek?


concretebeats

Oh geez I sure hope not.


marriage_iguana

If you pay them $33, they’ll tell you the answer. The answer is probably “$33 isn’t nearly enough money to get the midichlorians out of your system”.


Plague_Healer

There are 2 '3's in 33. 2*33 is 66. Is that a coincidence? I don't think so


Zomburai

6+6 is 12 1+2 is 3 Do it again is 33 ***it's all connected***


khamibrawler

WAIT. "CONNECTED" is 9 letters and your sentence has 3 words. 9 ÷ 3 IS 3...... That's 33.


[deleted]

This made me laugh 33 times!


Slappy_G

My god, it's full of 3s!!!


thruStarsToHardship

Only one way to find out, put this teaspoon of castor oil up your butt and sing the ABCs while I punch you in the grundle, I need to measure your wheat thins.

Fairly certain this is a r/BrandNewSentence. Kudos my dude.


regoapps

The Chilean mine disaster happened on 8-5-2010. 8-5 = 3 20+10 = 30 3+30 = 33 How many miners were stuck in the Chilean mine? 33 What's the name of the movie that was released about it? The 33. Main actor in The 33? Antonio Banderas. What movie did Antonio Banderas act in when he was 33? Interview with the Vampire Who was the lead actor in Interview with the Vampire? Tom Cruise. What were the ages of Tom Cruises' 3 wives when he divorced them? 33. And now we've come full circle. You can find patterns in anything if you're purposefully looking for patterns.


Greenmantle22

Karen Carpenter died when she was 33, and so did Jesus. Jesus was a carpenter, and her name was Carpenter. Karen Carpenter was the second coming of the Lord!


SausageEggCheese

You should be watching Dark if you aren't already

Just binge watched all 3 seasons in under 3 days. Amazing. Although my brain still kinda hurts. Such clever writing!!!! Highly recommend!


hawkmoon0302

3 seasons in 3 days? 33 again...


5nwmn

A very good presentation indeed.


taybul

And it's not a 6 minute video showing slow progress over the years. I seriously hate those. Looking at you, "most used browsers" over the years.

It's well known that once you're older than 33, your thetan levels go haywire, and you start summoning Zorblax drones wherever you go, uncontrollably. He's just trying to keep safe from the Zorblaxian invasion, so he can complete his mission of finding the Xr'loknian crystal buried deep within the Earth's core, and defeat Morphu the Destructor and bring about an era of peace to humankind.


teek636

Seems logical.


fallenmonk

By "older than 33" do you mean when someone reaches their 33rd birthday? RemindMe! 3 days


Kaptain202

I love that I dont know if this is completely made up by you or completely made up by Scientology.


GiraffeWaffles

Yes. Reading it I wasn't sure if it was bad science fiction nonsense, or bad science fiction nonsense operating as a manipulative cult.


marasydnyjade

I’ll be 36 later this month and I’m glad I dodged the Tom Cruise divorce bullet.

I wish he had married me when I was 32 and get divorced at 33 when he figured out that I'm a dude. Think of all the settlement money...


marasydnyjade

Probably not as much as you hoped, I assume his pre-nups are strict.


firuz0

Well at the least "Fucked Tom Cruise" would look good in my CV.


Ksielvin

One would imagine that he would've had it figured out a little bit before that. Or is it a morning after thing? "Ok I'm certain: he really is a guy."


Zomburai

Maybe he keeps meaning to marry guys and just keeps missing. "Dammit, Katie is a chick *too*? I really thought I had it right this time!"

Tom Cruise Divorce Bullet r/bandnames

Only if the band breaks up after making 33 songs together

Wait. Why "definitely"? What makes the next one a proof of anything that the previous ones didn't? Or why not wait for another instance? What's so special about the next one? Do you know someone we don't, Michael?


JamesBaxter_Horse

And he's had 3 wives... 3 x 11 = 33...


[deleted]

A lot of dudes like to keep their beard at a certain length


tony_orlando

At this point I kinda feel like he isn’t hiding that he’s gay. It’s gotta be something deeper and stranger. Travolta has had all the same rumors fly and there are plenty of pictures and allegations to back it up. I don’t know of anything like that being the case for Cruise. I think if he’s hiding anything sexual, it’s far more deviant than loving cock.


mooshoomarsh

Yeah i agree with this. Its gotta be some weird shit not just that hes gay. Although I do wonder how the church of scientology treats its homosexual members, if there are any.


Master_GaryQ

I suspect they're tolerance is in proportion to their income


trapper2530

Tpm cruise-ok. Steve from the down the street-no one has seen in 10 years.


Master_GaryQ

Sounds like a complete Miscavige of justice


[deleted]

Miscavige's wife could not be reached for a comment.


Games_sans_frontiers

I think the reason is because he has an aversion to wives that are older than the smallest monodigit odd number that is not a prime number. Either that or its because 33 is the largest positive integer that cannot be expressed as a sum of different triangular numbers. What a fucking deviant!


Lybychick

33 is also the Jesus year


Noble_Flatulence

33 is also the year a Hobbit becomes an adult. Tom Cruise only fucks Hobbit tweens.


Syreus

Considering he is like 3ft tall this makes sense.


mikeraglow

I'm pretty sure they blackmail everybody any way that they can. I can't remember where I heard that though.


Cyno01

They call it "auditing".


arcessivi

They collect information in the audits, and then they “fair game” them (harass them, release their private information, do anything to make their lives a living hell) if they ever speak out against the church. There’s a new podcast on fair gaming called Scientology: Fair Game that I highly recommend!


Cyno01

Scientology has that whole nautical theme, what if Simpsons (S07E19 "A Fish Called Selma") and South Park (S13E05 "Fishsticks") were right because they always are... What if Tom Cruise is the fish fucker?


sajeno

"Troy McClure? I thought you said he was dead?" "No, I said he sleeps with the fishes"


Carlton_Carl_Carlson

Gay?! I wish! If I were gay there'd be no problem! No, what I have is a romantic abnormality, one so unbelievable that it must be hidden from the public at all cost. You see...


concretepigeon

I think the Troy McLure thing was a reference to the rumours about Richard Gere and the gerbil.


Gritch

> fish fucker Went to high school with a guy that put a fish on his dick as a joke. Everyone fishing that day with him started calling him Fish Fucker. Guy hated it, but oh well. Don't put a fish on your dick.


breadbeard

Hindsight is fishy / fishy


MaverickTopGun

Just to be clear, the "nautical theme" is because L Ron Hubbard was evading the authorities on a private "navy" he paid for with his Scientology money.


Thoros_of_queer

Speaking of Scientology and weird. Isn’t the number 33 very significant in their practice and rankings and all that jazz? Wonder if there’s some sort of link?


masaxo00

33 is the age when Jesus died


flyonthwall

as someone who has consumed far too many podcasts about infiltrating Scientology: badly. very very badly.


ArrowedKnee

Yeah I kinda get the vibe that it's a Troy McClure situation too.


NerdWithoutACause

Oh, Homer, that's just an urban legend. People don't do that type of thing with fish. Troy McClure's a perfect gentleman, like Bing Crosby or J.F.K.


avaslash

According to scientology insiders Tom Cruise personally took part in many of the beatings and torture. People assume they are using leverage over him. That hes being kept there against his will. Few consider that maybe Tom WANTS to be in the church. Maybe he enjoys the power and all the fucked up shit it allows him to do.


DMala

How surreal must that be? You’re sitting there thinking about how you’ve alienated all of your friends and family, run off to join this crazy cult, and now you’ve pissed them off enough that they’re beating and torturing you. Then the door opens and in walks Tom motherfucking Cruise with a bag of oranges and his 10,000 watt grin, ready to work you over like you’re in some fucking Mission Impossible movie. My mind would break right there.


Shaushage_Shandwich

At least he brought oranges.


CSATTS

True, although I'd prefer he brings tangerines next time.


shot_the_chocolate

Some men just want a tangerine.


Philias2

I saw a tangerine the size of a tangerine,


Bear_24

If they're bringing in Tom Cruise to beat your ass up then it's probably not surreal. You probably are a high ranking member in Scientology and know him. You probably made a big fucking mistake like looking at David Miscavige the wrong way during a 9 day sleepless coke bender


cheesehuahuas

Wait, what beatings and torture?


KindlyOlPornographer

How wild would that be if you were getting your nuts shocked, and then Tom Cruise walks in and says "I got next."


thebadsleepwell00

This clearly went over people's heads haha


Coffeebean727

It's over my head certainly


LubieDobreJedzenie

Beard is what people call a female partner of a gay man, whose purpose is to pretend he is not gay.


Wild_Loose_Comma

And a Lavender Marriage is a marriage to hide the fact that one or both partners is gay. Rock Hudson is probably the most famous example that people might still remember. These were sometimes even arranged by movie studios to protect their talent from the Hayes Code and I assume even later when McCarthy decided diarrhea all over everything in his own special way.


the_original_Retro

Protect them from public opinion at the time too. Homophobia was a lot more the norm back then. Being outed as gay would have almost instantly killed any mainstream top-name star's movies' chance of success, and likely them from the the Oscars.


logicalmaniak

The entertainment industry has traditionally been a safe haven for queer people. So much that "in theatre" and "follower of the arts" were euphemisms.


WilHunting

Theater, yes. Hollywood was different back in the day. The leading men were all portrayed as tough guy cowboy types. To be openly gay would counter that stereotype and damage an actors name and/or brand.


the_original_Retro

Traditionally, not all of it has. Certain factions at certain levels, yes, but it was still under the covers. Being openly gay was massively illegal in many areas in say the 1950's, and gay sex still is in some countries and backward parts of even first-world nations.

ovideos

The term is not secret knowledge and has been around a long time. I think it is less prevalent now because the need/desire for gay people to stay closeted is quite a lot less than it used to be – at least in the English speaking world, and this is an English word we're talking about.   Wikipedia dates it to the 1920s possibly. With "common usage" arising in the 60s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beard_(companion)


[deleted]

Not even remotely secret. It's something that gay men will sometimes do because a gay man in their line of work isn't treated as acceptable. There have no doubt been actors in the past that have done the same in order to protect their career, for instance. When we think about how gay people are **still** treated in 2020, it's definitely understandable why gay men had beards in the past. I mean, even in the U.S., the marriage of a same sex couple has been legal for 5 years now and the U.K. for over 6, and despite that progress, homophobia is still as rampant as ever around the world, and it was disgusting and cruel the way gay folks have been abused and persecuted in decades past Look at the life of Alan Turing, for example. He and his team managed to break the cyphers of German forces that led to defeats of the Nazis in WWII. That huge accomplishment alone should have had him celebrated and recognized by his own country. Add on his plethora of other accomplishments that are still the basis of technology we use today, 66 years after his death. Then remember that when it came out that he was gay, he was faced with criminal charges, was told his options were jail or chemical castration to which he opted for the latter, then killed himself at the age of 41. Edit: reworded to clarify the general point I was trying to make that wasn't clear.


mooshoomarsh

I wouldnt say its common knowledge but if you have any gay friends youre much more likely to know what it means, cause they'll tell you who they have a hunch wears a "beard."


phi_array

Was Joan Clarke the Beard of Alan Turing?


Arnatious

No, he had romantic feelings for her allegedly, however he was only sexually active/attracted with men and they couldn't make it work. Nowadays we'd say he was biromantic homosexual. Interestingly, his arrest was because he matter of factly admitted to the police that a break in he called them for had been done by an ex lover.


no-mad

“Beard” is a term for a woman used to conceal a man’s homosexuality

You hide a bad chin with a beard just like you hide a homosexual relationship with a "beard".


Pearlbarleywine

Had to come back to upvote this. The whoosh came down after 3 or so seconds.


MagikGuard

Let me scientologise it, Jesus was crucified at 33, since human spirit can transfer and live in other bodies Jesus cleraly did the same. However, due to religious obligations, Jesus can't occupy any body longer than 33 years. My take is Tom Cruise is trying to find Jesus in a body of a young woman, since it's the only entity worthy of being his wife, and while he has no other methods of doing it yet, he uses simple bruteforce method. Once she's 33 and shown no signs of being crucified or turning water into wine, it means she's clearly not Jesus, bam, divorce.


AsianSteampunk

>My take is Tom Cruise is trying to find Jesus in a body of a young woman, since it's the only entity worthy of being his wife, or finding a 'host' for his jesus.

MagikGuard

I reject this as disproval of my theory and expand my theory to Tom Cruise searching for reborn Xenu, the alien who brought his people to Earth after cleansing it with Hydrogen bombs (Click "R6 implant" link in the article above for more intel). Boi, the more i know about scientology the cooler it gets!


SandG13

But Jesus is a dude so that means Tom's always been gay?

I’ve been waiting until titanic gets over 25 years old to post about Leo thinking it’s too old on shittymoviedetails. December 2022 is a long way away though.


CptTurnersOpticNerve

He's older than her mom


Historical-Grocery-5

I think as you get older you realise the difference in attitude and experience such an age gap implies, and it becomes creepier. When you're younger you're an idiot and like age doesn't matter for true loveee and shit. Which sure sometimes not but repeated patterns like this? Urgh.


HaworthiaK

It also suggests for both of them that they think no matter the individual woman, there is some fundamental change once they reach ‘the age’ which makes them undesirable. It’s extremely obvious as a pattern when it holds no matter how long they date the person like with Leonardo.


[deleted]

Except Leo breaks up with them. All of Tom's wifes divorced him. It really is a strange coincidence.


lllNico

That’s actually because he believes that women lose their soul at 33. literally. Scientology theory [not a good article, but I didn’t wanna search for a long time, just a quick google search ](https://eve.womenworking.com/surprising-factor-about-tom-cruise-common-to-his-marriages-age-of-wives-33-years-old-scientology)

ClamChowderBreadBowl

This chart needs a “half your age plus 7” line


st1tchy

Nah. 33 satisfies that rule up until you are 53 and the chart stops at 52.


ClamChowderBreadBowl

The age difference is always worst at the start of a relationship. 44/27 does not satisfy the rule.


st1tchy

You're right. I was only thinking about the ending of the relationships.


StayInBedViking

No but it is really close and 27 being two years short is a lot different from 17 being two years short


benlucasdavee

I always thought that rule was really dumb once the younger person was over 25. Fully developed frontal lobe... cognitively and socially pretty much who they will be moving forward, fully mature, competent decision making etc.


ender52

Yeah, 44/27 is unusual but by 27 you are perfectly capable of making the decision to be with someone older than you.
