Roommate Talks About The Visitors

[Blind Gossip] Controversy has always swirled around this superstar film actor as far as his sexuality is concerned. Given his publicity-driven relationships, multiple marriages, and odd behavior, there has been much speculation about whether he is gay, bisexual, straight, or even asexual.

Let’s give you some more food for thought!

Early in his career – specifically in the 1980s – he was part of a film that included several other big-name male actors. This was before his really big breakout film. His roommate during filming was another actor who also went on to become very famous.

[The roommate] told us that says that they shared living quarters while they were filming. He said that there was a constant stream of women visitors to and from [Actor’s] bed.

Interesting.

    Tom Cruise
    Sean Penn
    Film was Taps
    Cruise seems asexual now. It doesn’t seem to matter to him after his divorce from Nicole. When he was younger, pre-Scientology, he seemed like your average hetero male.

    bisexual? maybe even pansexual? He could also be aromantic and not care for relationships

  7. chamois says

    Tom Cruise.
    He’s a scientologist – so the only category he falls into is bat shit crazy.

  9. nylahou says

    Actor: Tom Cruise
    Roommate: Matt Dillon or Rob Lowe?

    This has gotta be The Outsiders. I characterize his sexuality as Opportunistic. Meaning, he likes women enough, but would perhaps be with either depending on how it would benefit him. Cruise has always seemed kind of asexual to me actually, and was probably with a lot of women back then so that the other actors wouldn’t get suspicious.

  11. Teaspoon says

    Tom Cruise – not sure who his roommate was (could be Dillon, Estevez, Swayze, Lowe).

    1980s movie would be The Outsiders, which had other big-name male actors.

  12. KarmaFlower says

    Tom Cruise, and for some reason, I keep thinking about the movie Taps. Or The Outsiders. Several other actors in each of those who went on to be famous.

    I have no idea what the deal is with him. He seems to be an overall hot mess, though. Back then he wasn’t associated with scientology, and wasn’t famous. Maybe he wasn’t sure. Maybe he is bisexual? Who knows?

  13. pwhit72 says

    Tom Cruise and Rob Lowe. I think they were roommates around the time they were auditioning for and filming The Outsiders.

  14. ninanicole says

    Tom Cruise. I think we have Scientology to blame for all of the confusion and insanity. Probably not gay.

  15. gammyjill says

    Ton Cruise. I’ve just assumed he was gay but was so closeted he couldn’t even admit it to himself.

  17. rcaraway says

    Actor: Tom Cruise
    Roommate: Rob Lowe
    Film: The Outsiders

    How would I categorize his sexuality: His first wife said he was like a monk…I would have to go toward asexual, but not 100% naturally, more from self discipline. I think at least he and Nicole had a “typical” (whatever that is) marriage/sex life up until the end when the church manipulated him into a divorce. I don’t think they would have done Eye’s Wide Shut if not.

  20. mickeymammoth says

    Actor: Tom Cruise
    Roommate: Rob Lowe

    On the Outsiders. No idea about his sexuality. I would prefer him to be straight because it would be sad if he were in the closet and living a lie.

  22. Cindylouwho says

    Actor: Tom Cruise
    Roommate: Rob Lowe (during filming of The Outsiders)
    Optional: I think he likes the ladies (or used to) and that he’s not gay. However, two things. One, I think he is sterile and two, something is definitely off where it comes to his love/sex life – it could very well have something to do with his scifreakology.

  26. canadia99 says

    Actor: Tom Cruise

    Roommate: Matt Dillon

    Movie: The Outsiders

    Coppola had all the “greasers” live together in a basement, as a method of getting them into character and bonding……..

  31. madpark says

    Actor: Tom Cruise
    Roommate: Rob Lowe
    Movie: The Outsiders
    Sexual Orientation: Who cares?

  32. KatarinaJ says

    Obviously Tom Cruise and maybe an actor from the OUTSIDERS who would go on to more (Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, C. Thomas Howell?) take your pick. The thing with Cruise is that if you read up on Scientology it tells you you can not be gay. It is an ‘aberration’ or and if you re-program yourself and live a straight life, you will BECOME straight. This explains a lot about the view towards it in general. If he is Bi, Gay, straight, I don’t know… but he is a big Scientologist! Their POSTER…

  35. madpark says

    Actually, Rob Lowe’s roommate was C. Thomas Howell. So I’ll go with Matt Dillon.

  37. totskie says

    This has to be Tom Cruise when he was in the movie, The Outsiders
    Roommate: Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, or Patrick Swayze.

  42. melrose71 says

    Tom Cruise. This could be Taps or The Outsiders. I’ll go with Rob Lowe during The Outsiders. I’m not sure, maybe he’s asexual now. His first wife complained about their lack of sex life which makes sense if he’s gay or maybe just not that interested. Perhaps he was bisexual but asexual now. 🙂

  46. jhwalker says

    Actor: Tom Cruise
    Roommate: Rob Lowe (in “The Outsiders”)
    Tom’s sexual orientation? Alien.

  48. lepidoteran says

    Tom Cruise
    Sean Penn (movie:Taps)

    Optional: I don’t know, but just because someone preferred one type of partner when they were 18, doesn’t mean they still did 10, 20, or 30 years later. I heard an interview with Brian May of Queen and he mentioned that he roomed with Freddie Mercury in the band’s early days of touring. He said that Freddie went to bed with women and lots of them and only later came out as gay.

  49. ValleyOfTheGalls says

    Tom Cruise

    Rob Lowe

    Everyone knows Tom is gay. He’s been trying to hide it since he was a teen. He was going to become a Catholic priest before he took up acting.
    I’m sure Tom has brainwashed himself into thinking the space god Zenu, at the behest of his boyfriend David Miscavage, has cured him.
    After all, only a straight man would hold a casting call for a wife, right?

    This is to divert attention away from Tom dumping Suri. I wonder what they’ve got on Rob.

  51. eryncuz88 says

    Tom Cruise? Maybe during filming of “The Outsiders”
    Not sure about the roommate; there are lots of big names in that cast.

  53. ricwash says

    Actor: Tom Cruise

    Roommate: Rob Lowe or Patrick Swayze (movie was The Outsiders)

    [Optional] How would you categorize the Actor’s sexual orientation? I would call him Try-Sexual. He will probably try anything once; twice if he liked it. I would also say that he has more than a touch of Small Man Syndrome. Always trying to prove he is just as good as the taller guys.

  54. melito84 says

    Actor: Tom cruise
    Roommate: Sean penn?

    They did a movie early 80’s together

    I have no idea,I’m so confused now,
    Gay/not gay,i don’t really care-be with whoever makes you happy

  55. micropug says

    Actor: Tom Cruise

    Roommate: Not sure

    [Optional] How would you categorize the Actor’s sexual orientation? I don’t know. He’s a scientologist so he’s not allowed to be anything but straight. It’s really sad.

  57. Rofl my Wofl says

    Tom Cruise. Early career 80s movie with other big name male actors – The Outsiders: C. Thomas Howell, Patrick Swayne, Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, Ralph Macchio, Emilio Estevez. Big breakout role – Top Gun. And as far as the description of the multiple marriages, publicity driven relationships, sexuality speculation, odd behavior and such – that’s all Tom Cruise to a T. Who knows what this guy’s deal is.

  58. PinkFlamingo says

    Superstar actor: Tom Cruise
    His roommate: Sean Penn
    Film they worked together on before they both became famous: Taps

    How did I put it together? The similar link “Bag of Chips” refers to Charlize Theron, who famously dated and dumped Sean Penn.

  59. PinkFlamingo says

    How would I categorize the actor’s sexual orientation? Gay. But back then, he was trying to sleep with as many women as he could to try to (1) make himself be attracted to women or (2) maintain the illusion that he was straight so he wouldn’t ruin his career.

  61. SouthJerseyGirl says

    Tom Cruise. If that book that was a fictionalized version of his marriage to Katie Holmes is true, he’s straight. No clue who the roommate was.

  62. SALDZER says

    Tom Cruise — The Outsiders

    Not sure about roommate… Emilio? Rob Lowe? Thinking he’s bi.

  65. tiger13 says

    might this be tom cruise in the OUtsiders, before Risky Business? was his roommate rob lowe?

  67. ivy3499 says

    Tom Cruise
    I’ll be honest I never got the gay vibe from him but I have terrible gay-dar. I did get the crazy vibe from him tho.

  69. Kerzep says

    Tom Cruise

    IDK

    I don’t think he’s gay – I just think he’s a little “off” because of the Scientology thing.

  71. bostonmark says

    Tom cruise

    I bet the former roommate received a nice payout for saying that.

  74. Glennora says

    Actor: Tom Cruise, while filming The Outsiders.

    Roomate: So many of the actors in this movie went on to become fameous; I’ll guess Rob Lowe

    How would you categorize the Actor’s sexual orientation? I’d say he’s fluid, between heterosexual and Asexual.

  76. blablabla123 says

    I would guess this is Tom Cruise and the movie was The Outsiders. So many famous male actors in that movie.

  77. craicmehappy says

    Tom Cruise.

    Roommate Rob Lowe or Matt Dillon.

    His sexuality is none of my business or anyone else’s.

  81. Bamadex says

    It’s talking about Tom Cruise in The Outsiders. Bear in mind that Cruise stayed in character and didn’t shower during the entire shoot. He also had one of his caps removed to give him a gap-toothed took.

    If true, the story still doesn’t say much about his sexuality. At that age, I slept with girls, too.

  83. laineyd says

    Actor: Tom Cruise in the Outsiders
    Roommate: Rob Lowe (who apparently won’t STFU about this!)
    Optional: I think Tom Cruise is probably asexual like Mimi Rogers joked about.

  84. Mattdsgirl says

    Actor: Tom Cruise. He was in “The Outsiders” with other young heartthrobs at the time.

    Roommate: Patrick Swayze? Matt Dillon? Emilio Estevez? Rob Lowe? C.Thomas Howell?

  87. LilGator says

    Actor: Tom Cruise (movie was the Outsiders)
    Roommate: Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, or Matt Dillon

  89. aweeks062 says

    Tom Cruise
    Roomate: one of the guys from the Outsiders
    I think he is straight, just a control freak egomaniac

  90. I Am PunkA says

    Tom Cruise.
    Rob Lowe

    Film was The Outsiders.

    Heterosexual. But he is a different kind of guy is all.

  91. gailthesnail says

    Tom Cruise.
    No idea the other actor, but movie was The Outsiders. Clue is “The Visitors” alluding to movie title.

  95. carriebradshaw says

    Rommate must be Sean Penn, movie is Taps.

    Optional: he was catholic before he became scientologist, so his sexual orientation at this point was probably very confused/denial homosexual.

  96. CyndiTx123 says

    I was thinking Nicolas Cage…… don’t know who could have been his room mate… 🙂

  100. ellewoods says

    Tom Cruise.
    Possibly bi-sexual or homosexual who doesn’t act on it? I honestly don’t know with him.
