Did Tom Cruise Build $10 Million Dollar Bunker To Protect Himself From Aliens Or Critics? - Page 3
“Tom is terrified,’’ the source added. “He doesn’t feel safe anywhere.
“He and Katie know the Beckhams have had to live in the shadow of similar threats and have asked them for advice on how to cope.
“They have had to take the threats seriously. Unfortunately there are plenty of cranks out there – particularly in LA.’’
The couple’s ordeal began four months ago when Cruise was warned anthrax would be placed in the air vents of his LA office. England star David, 33, and his ex-Spice Girl wife Victoria, 34, have spent much of their lives coping with similar threats.
Dealing with threats is an unfortunate side-effect of being famous, and certainly more so for a controversial figure like Tom Cruise, but what strikes me as odd is how juxtaposed this is to the reality of Cruise's life and that of his family. You can't open a tabloid magazine without being bombarded with images of his youngest daughter Suri Cruise, often out and about with his wife, actress Katie Holmes. The couple's 2-year old daughter topped the list on Forbes "Hollywood's Hottest Tots."
Forbes.com, which ranked celebrity children five years old and younger based on media attention and their parents' popularity, said Suri - known for her stylish outfits and haircut - popped up in more news articles and blogs than her peers.
The question is, how do you reconcile the safety of one's family with one's desire to remain relevant and popular? Apparently, by building a $10 million dollar bunker. Nothing like using fake fear to drum up sympathy. Only problem is, how can it protect you if you are never in it?
Pesky little problems of the rich and crazy.
