[Radar Online] Andy Cohen isn’t afraid to kiss and tell! In Superficial, his new book of private diary entries, the Watch What Happens Live host reveals his nicest and nastiest guests of all time.
Andy Cohen says he once turned down a “massive movie star” [to be a guest on WWHL because he] refused to stand up on air or discuss his most famous film role. “I said let’s cancel him, it’s not worth it and it’s not a fit,” he reveals.
BG Note: A non-Andy-Cohen source speculates that the male movie star only wanted to be shot sitting down because of his height. No shotskis for you!

[Optional] Why do you think the guest refused to be shot standing up?
Keeping Honest says
I’m going to go with someone else.
Daniel Radcliffe
I know the obvious choice is TC
I’ve seen TC on may talk shows. He wears heels. Radcliffe I think is wanting to move on from HP.
ChattyCat says
Def sounds like Tom Cruise BUT he doesn’t have a problem showing his height on other talk shows…..he’s always great on Graham Norton
Roro says
I thought Tom Cruise at first, but I’ve seen him on so many talk shows in the Uk and US where he’s standing up (Jimmy Fallon, James Corden, Graham Norton) that I had my doubts. Perhaps this was years ago. Don’t think he takes himself so seriously now. At least not publicly.
Kerzep says
I know everyone is saying Tom Cruise, but I don’t think so. He was on Jimmy Fallon and did a Karaoke thing standing next to Jimmy. Also he was recently on Steven Colbert and stood up a few times.
Besides, what would be his “most famous” role? Rain Man? Risky Business? Top Gun? There’s many to choose from. And, he discussed Top Gun with Colbert.
Somehow I think this is maybe an older person. Nicholson, Redford, Hoffman?
spikelb says
Tom Cruise
Why? 5’7″

Tom Cruise
Catman says
Has to be Tom Cruise!
SeijnSei says
Tom Cruise.
megigi says
Tom Cruise. No standing shots because he is a wee little man.
ASBO5ive says
This points to Tom Cruise but it doesn’t make sense because he’s 1. Stood up many times during interviews with no problem and 2. He’s talked about Top Gun and Mission Impossible constantly. So???
Veri2509 says
That’s what I was thinking as well. He did a lot of promotion for his movies singing, standing, jumping also directly next to the interviewers. Talking a lot about all of his movies. Heard he is very professional when it comes to everything around his movies just don’t ask him about xenu
tellmemore says
The only reason I can think of is because Andy Cohen is so tall by comparison.
themomica says
Tommy Girl
insertletters says
Tom Cruise?
(Been lurking for ages and I finally made an account to answer this so hope I’m right! Hi Ace, hi fellow blinders!)
insertletters says
Wow, first! Also, for the optional: because he’s self conscious of being short?
insertletters says
Oops, maybe not, sorry, still getting the hang of this!
Zap The Sheep says
Tommy boy because he Cruises at a low altitude (i.e., he is really short and is very self-conscious about it).
Beautiful_Stranger says
Tom Cruise
the only massive movie star that feels inadequate because of his height.
Dude you are a movie star, get over it. You had a carreer despite the fact that you are short compared to other Americans.
Kiefer Sutherland has a problem with his height, I think.
I guess he didn’t have a father like Marc Anthony. He supposedly told him that he is very ugly so he should work on his personality in order to be liked by women
jophieljo says
Sounds like Tom Cruise
JipJip says
Tom Cruise
Vampira says
Tom Cruise
keller says
Tom cruise
Top gun or mission impossible
thekatsclaws says
Tom Cruise?
He think he is short doesn’t he? I have no idea how tall he iv but I can remember his wedding photos with Katie taken on steps with him above to make him look taller than her & didn’t she & Nicole wear flats all of the time, when they were with him?
I wonder which film he wouldn’t talk about & why? Top Gun for whatever reason?
cindycgy says
Tom Cruise
nache1 says
Tom cruise
MoWilly says
Any height references make me think of Tom Cruise, but the ”shotskis” reference puts me to Robert Redford.
Not wanting to be shot standing up could be because of a pot belly.
Arianna1 says
Tom Tiny Cruise?
Julia Boolia says
Movie Star: Tom Cruise
[Optional] Why do you think the guest refused to be shot standing up? Because he’s short.
radmom says
Easy… Tom Cruise, because he’s not tall, and is extremely sensitive about it! He made Nicole Kidman wear flats while they were married, she wasn’t allowed to wear high heels!!
PatioPrincess says

Tom Cruise, because he’s so short.
PollyMetropolitan says
My guess it Tom Cruz. Not sure why he wouldn’t stand up, though — it’s not a secret that he is a little squirt. Maybe he had a hole in his pants or his zipper wouldn’t close. Hee hee hee.
Martini says
I want to say Tom Cruise, but it doesn’t seem he’s afraid of standing considering he jumped on a sofa while on ‘Oprah.’

Shotski…..Cocktail
KatarinaJ says
Can COCKTAIL possibly be a bigger role than TOP GUN for they guy? I can see Andy wanted to talk all the homo-erotic overtones of TG and Cruise steering away from that.
Crisesaverted says
Wow. I think you nailed this one. I don’t think there is anything to add. Except great job. I wouldn’t have guessed the film or why.
Laughing1 says
