Tom Cruise: I've Always Wanted To Kill Hitler

Tom Cruise attends the press conference and Korean premiere of ‘Valkyrie’ at Megabox Coex in Seoul, South Korea on Sunday (January 18).

“I’ve always wanted to kill Hitler. As a child, I used to wonder why someone didn’t stand up and kill him,” Tom told reporters on Sunday.

“As a child studying history and looking at documents, I wondered, why didn’t someone stand up and try to stop it? When I read the script, it was entertaining and informative to know what the challenges were and what it was like to be in the environment.”

“Although the story takes place during the World War II, I found the story ageless,” Tom, 46, said. Making the movie “was a powerful experience that I will never forget.”

This is one of the most famous timeline paradoxes: what if you went back in time and killed Hitler? You would completely alter the world we know today and we would be living in an alternate reality. Suppose you could effectively kill Hitler BEFORE World War II took place. Even before his raise to power. Then, millions of lives would likely be spared and we wouldn’t probably face a major conflict in Europe. We wouldn’t witness the rise of the United States as a major superpower. We wouldn’t know what Pax Americana is all about. We wouldn’t have the world divided by Cold War. We wouldn’t probably have the Vietnam War; we certainly wouldn’t have the Berlin Wall. Who knows what the world be today? This exercise could go on, and on and on.

But, then again, Hitler survived the attempts and here we are. For better and for worse. Wiser, hopefully.

Ok I have to first say Tom does look very fit and sexy…maybe even a little too thin.
However, because he’s at the OT8 level in his religion, he should be able to time travel and go outside his body (insert wink here) so maybe he should do that to save us from such crimes against humanity. He can even take his hero David Miscavige and they can save the world! I hope Katie is climbing the ranks at their church so she can be the girl in their Superhero trio! Go Tom & Katie!!

He wasn’t even alive when Hitler was. I hope he keeps talking, he sounds more and more idiotic everyday. His lack of education is showing. Who says, “I’ve always wanted to kill Hitler”. Unless he’s a ghetto jew from the 2nd World War that’s suffered atrocities, he sounds like a complete moron. Well, he sold his soul to the devil, I guess the devil forgot to tell him what’s all involved. Hopefully some day he looks back on his life and wishes he did it honestly and without the backing of a cult.

Hey Tom….why didn’t YOU try to stop it????? You were a living being in your previous life, Right? Isn’t that what you and the “church” believe? If you COS are so dam*ned smart and special, why didn’t YOU stop Hitler, General Von Douche?

Now Tom’s using the Holocaust and the lives of millions slain for publicity purposes.

WILL THIS EGOMANIC EVER STFU???????

Your career is KAPUT, Tom!!!!! Get over it!

Keep traveling around the world, Tom. Your ‘excellent’ movie is now at no. 14, making 70 some million. Gran Torino made that in one week as opposed to since Christmas Day.

i didn’t notice he was talking about his past life .. lol

I never wanted to kill Hitler.So think because of everything he did and should seek psychological help to control their anger and hatred instead of wanting to kill people. The world needs more people clean pure and honest to promote progress and not the destruction in childhood and was afraid of Hitler fugia him and his entire reign. Still afraid of Hitler and the destruction of the past chieo he did, but now I know that everyone already knows well and can prevent many deaths

How could he kill someone who was already dead? Shut up, Tom!

Thumb up Thumb down 0

wow i thought he was dyslexic, i mean scientology “cured” him right? :O and now he says as a CHILD he studied history and documents, that seems doubtful since he claimed when he graduated from high school he was illiterate. hımm, interesting…..

Can scientologists go back in time?

What a lame-o!

then, what can he (rich and powerful) do now to stop atrocities in countries around the world? Is he doing something? Oh, I see, he’s doing movies…

You should really shut up since you’re allowing your own ignorance to show. Didn’t you detest Hitler when you read about him in your history books? Didn’t you want to kill him yourself? Stop trying to make Tom look stupid by being stupid yourself. Your sarcasm and arrogance only reveals what anyone with a brain already knows, you’re just not very intelligent yourselves. Valkyrie is a wonderful movie, Tom is the one of the best (if not the best) actor of our time. Valkyrie has made close to 78,000 in U.S. dollars alone and will make much more than that world wide.

The reason his looks so young is because he puts the burden of raising Suri with Katie… During her visit to New York who did Katie
have wrapped in her arms 2 4 7 Suri.. Where the hell was Tom..
The lousy parent.. Preening himself by telling the press that he
had surprises for her on her birthday..Yeah having her daughter
all day long.. and he could be bothered taking her back to Califonia
with him.. for a few days?? Off and running..
