Tom Cruise Was Allegied of Homophobia
Bronson Pinchot struggles for publicity through scathing criticism of world-famous celebrities.
This week, the Onion A.V. published an interview that quotes actor Bronson Pinchot saying that Tom Cruise made “constant unrelated homophobic comments” while the two were on the set of 1983’s Risky Business.
Cruise’s rep responded today: “Obviously, this is so far removed from who Tom Cruise is as a person, this must have been said in jest.”
Pinchot, perhaps best known as Balki from the 1980s TV series Perfect Strangers, made the comments to A.V. Club during a discussion about the actor’s storied resume, which also includes films Beverly Hills Cop, True Romance, and The First Wives’ Club.
In addition to mudslinging on Cruise, Pinchot is also quoted as saying Denzel Washington is “one of the most unpleasant human beings I’ve ever met.”
Washington’s rep says the actor has no comment.
The Entertainment World has contributed to the report.
