Tom Cruise has always seemed a little bit… off, shall we say? Kinda of like the Ned Flanders of Scientology, if Ned was more prone to jumping on Oprah’s couch manically. He also seems super nice, but he can also express himself in strange ways (couch incident is just one of many things that make us suspicious). He recently made a trip to Dublin for his latest film’s premiere where he also was greeted by a group of historians there who informed him of his Irish ancestors – and he totally loved it because he was related to some cool famine dude who saved a bunch of people. Tom, who believes the story is a “wild” one, commented:
“I found out my ancestors owned a town called Hollywood. It’s wild. One guy was a famine hero. He was in New York and this guy who was helping to run estates wanted to throw tenants off the farm, so he got on a boat in the middle of winter, went all the way back and reinstated the tenants on the farm. He fired the lawyer and they threw him a big dinner in celebration. There were knights for Strongbow. They said my family owned most of Dublin at a certain point. It was unbelieveable.”
Yeah, it is a good story Tom, but mostly because it reaffirms just how great you were before you were made into an actual human being, yippee! Time to go nut again. Check out more of the details over at Bohomoth!
