    Indeed, but they don’t need to be a “celebrity.”
    This simple concept seems to be difficult for you for some reason.

    My dog is dedicated, too. Being dedicated is not the same as being able to act. Cruise is an overpaid stunt man.

    Yup, including and the 1988 Razzie 'winner' for Worst Picture, "Cocktail."

    I particularly enjoyed his performance in The Hobbit.

    When he is simply hanging out with family at a park with no press anywhere, I'd say that is pretty "real". Attempting to ascribe a Scientology image in that context taxes the credibility of the assertion a bit, in my mind. I am sure you have already made your mind up on him. so it's all good.

    Then you could edit your post to the last three words of it and convey the same message.

    I think we have definitely established that Cruise is a contentious person. Whatever he may be like off-screen, I do not like his on-screen persona, and despite having a string of blockbusters, as an actor he is much less talented than many others we have seen make it big in last 30 years or so. TomCruise is a zilch-actor compared to, for example, Tom Hanks.

    I’m not sure what your point is other than expressing your subjective perspective on Tom Cruise, which of course you are entitled to. But your claims about his acting ability isn’t conclusive when one considers the evidence.

    Well that’s not clear in the OP is it. My interpretation is that the meaning could go either way or indeed any way the reader chooses.

    I think my suggestion that we only need one celebrity in the UK royal family, I.e. the monarch is well within the scope of the OP and the spirit of the thread.

    Perhaps you’re just bored and irritated with me as usual.

    I think we can easily do without all TV-celebrities who believe their personal dramas are important to anyone else outside their own families.
