Stiller had intended to keep Cruise’s role in the film as a fat, balding movie mogul a surprise. The film studio has refused to release pictures of Cruise’s character as he appears in the movie. Images of Tom Cruise with a bald headpiece and in a fat suit appeared on Inside Edition, in November 2007, and also appeared on the Internet.
Attorneys for Tom Cruise threatened a lawsuit if photos showing Cruise bald, bearded and wearing a fat suit were published. A representative for Cruise stated: “Mr. Cruise’s appearance was supposed to be a surprise for his fans worldwide. Paparazzi have ruined what should have been a fun discovery for moviegoers.” Photo agency INF responded with a statement: “While these pictures were taken without breaking any criminal or civil laws, we’ve decided to pull them from circulation effective immediately.” MTV News reported that, “…reps are reportedly having the image of a fat, balding Cruise pulled from the Internet as quickly as sites can put it up.”

I’ve always loved Tom Cruise’s acting and his looks. I even had a dream about him recently. I think he likes being a dad; he always has a big smile on his face when he’s with his kids.
