[Blind Gossip] This blind item involves two huge male stars. They don’t like each other… and we’re going to tell you the reason why!
We’ll call them Tall and Short.
Short is a very charismatic and religious guy. He has been nominated for an Oscar multiple times, but has never won. His shoes help him look taller than he is.
Tall is a handsome actor who frequently teams up with one of his childhood friends on projects. He has had great career success and has more than one Academy Award to his name.
A few years ago, Short was cast as the lead in a movie with a political bent. He dropped out of the project to do something else, and his role was offered to Tall.
For some reason, Short was offended by this, and said something like, “I can’t believe they offered that douchebag my role!”
Well, somehow that comment got back to Tall.
Tall’s response? “I can’t believe that nutbag has the nerve to call ME a douchebag! Hey, does he have an Oscar yet?”
And, of course, that comment eventually got back to Short. The two men have disliked each other ever since.
As a side note, Tall eventually dropped the role, too, and it went to a third famous actor who doesn’t have any kind of baggy nickname. Yet.

[Optional] Do you think they came up with accurate nicknames for each other?
TheBeans says
Tall: Ben Affleck
Short: Tom Cruise
Jewelsster says
It seems that alledgedly Tall is Ben Affleck and Short would be Mr Tom Cruise.
I have no idea if the names suit either of them as I don’t know either of them personally.
ccattwood says
Hmmm, complete guesses but tall=Ben Affleck
Short = Tom Cruise
And yes, those names are quite apt and could be interchangeable for those two!
BoatGirl says
Affleck vs Cruise
boyjack4 says
Short is without Tom Cruise,religious, short,needs lifts nutbar etc
Tall is not Tom Hanks as he’s hardly a douchebag?
Could be Sean Penn,though he’s not handsome, but he is a douchebag
I’m thinking Christian Bale?
delray74 says
Sean Penn is practically a midget. Although I suppose he’s tall by movie star standards.

Short – Tom Cruise

FlameTrees says
Tall: Ben Affleck, has two Oscars, the childhood friend he works with is Matt Damon
Short: Tom Cruise, nutbag’s “religion” being Scientology
Not sure if I’d call Ben a douchebag, though I’ve always much preferred his brother’s work. Tommy on the other hand is most definitely a nutbag

Perfect nicknames
carnivoro says
Ben Affleck
Tom Cruise
diz925 says
Total guess but:
Tall=Ben Affleck
Short=Tom Cruise
Movie Ides of march
Part went to Clooney
hvp5ss says
That’s what I was thinking at first, but Clooney co wrote Ides of March.
So possibly Fair Game, which was Sean Penn. Who’s definitely a d-bag and a nutbag.
LeelooDallas1 says
Tall = Ben Affleck
Short = Little Tommy Cruise
Kricket1 says
Short is Tom Cruise – no idea who tall is
Gemzan says
Ben Affleck
Little Tommy Cruise
Yes, Ben is a d-bag and Tom is a loon. At least Ben sees his children and didn’t abandon them for a sci-fi cult.
stolidog says
Ben Affleck and Tom Cruise. I could certainly come up with worse nicknames for one of them, cough-Tom Cruise-cough, but then I wouldn’t be able to post here.
angelbratt says
Ben affleck
Tom cruise

Ben Affleck, Tom Cruise

happiedazie says
Tall: Ben Affleck
Short: Tom Cruise
Do you think they came up with accurate nicknames for each other? Yup, pretty much.
1Bellebottomblues says
tall guy is Ben Affleck…one oscar for good will and one for argo.
Also works with Matt Damon sometimes.
short guy is Cruise of course lol
mostlylurker says
you got it in one.
sorta amazing tall has any oscars when you think about it. Short doesnt deserve one either. pedestrian actor.
SugarCookie says
Short: Tom Cruise
Tall: Val Kilmer
Director Oliver Stone originally wanted Tom Cruise in the lead role of Alexander.
Before being cast as King Philip, Oliver Stone was considering Val Kilmer for the lead.
Colin Farrell got the part.
Tom Cruise has not yet won an Oscar.
shelaur22 says
Val Kilmer doesn’t have more than one Oscar
inopickme says
Thinking that Tall is Ben Affleck and Short is Tom Cruise. I don’t know what movie they both dropped though.
sunshine702 says
George Clooney
Tom Cruise
Pretty funny accurate.
Elmerblues says
nutbag -Mr. L Ron Cruise
tall – Affleck ?
CevansLeftpec2 says
Leo D. as ‘tall’ and RDJ as ‘short’ (probably wrong, but that’s who came to mind with the shoe comment and the charisma one). If this is them, this blind is made even more hilarious by the fact that I can’t think of two more self-centered, insufferably smug, egotistic A-list actors in Hollywood rn than these two guys.
Raoul Duke says
Leo is what I would consider as one of the height disabled actors in the biz.
PollyMetropolitan says
Isn’t Leo at least 6′ tall? I don’t think he is a short guy.
CelebrityGirl says
Tall: Ben Affleck
Short: Tom Cruise
[Optional] Do you think they came up with accurate nicknames for each other? LOLOLOL yes, although Tom really deserves both nicknames.
Sabs says
Tall: Ben Affleck
Short: Tom Cruise
Molly7111 says
Tall: Robert Downey Jr. at 5′ 9″
Short: Tom Cruise at 5′ 7″
sadlyobsidian says
Can’t be, RDJ doesn’t have an oscar.
Moonie Pinkslip says
nor does he do projects with childhood friend (Ben Affleck/Matt Damon)
pricey524 says
the difference between tall and short is a 2 inch spread?
itstarapagain says
Cruise is 5’7″ in his dreams and his well crafted lifts.
On a different note, doubt he will ever win an Oscar or even see another nomination. He’s made himself a joke and ticked off people like Spielberg with his religious zeal
Epitome says
I saw Cruise once in Westwood … he is not even close to 5’7. Maybe 5’4 if he was trying. He was still married to Kidman. The female I was with was 5’6 and when he walked by her, he was shorter.
northofyou says
Just fyi, RDJ is nowhere near 5’9″. I’ve met him, and he’s shorter than me. I’m 5’7″.
Amityvillain says
Tall: Ben Affleck
Short: Tom Cruise
Optional: Absolutely.
flymetothemoo says
Tall can’t be Affleck as it says that Tall did not end up with the role and that it went to another person. I think tall is Robert Downey Jr. because he is well known for wearing heels and lifts in his shoes.
OleWyzOne says
Short is the one that has shoes that helps his height not tall.
Amityvillain says
Tall can’t be RDJ, he’s never won an AA, only nominated. Nor has Val Kilmer won an AA. But guess who has won a few and works with a childhood friend? Ben Affleck the douche.
Moonie Pinkslip says
No, it’s Affleck: does projects with childhood friend (Damon). Downey doesn’t. And Affleck is actually over 6′ tall.
Pambala says
this right here. short is really the douchebag tho.
totallytopanga says
I agree! what do you think the movie was? The revenant?
LAJuice says
I was thinking Clooney for Tall Cruise for Short.
