Tom Cruise is among the biggest Hollywood stars and his female fans are crazy about him. However, he also had his share of controversies and bad publicity. The actor's ex-manager recently disclosed unexpected revelations regarding his terrible anger. She recounted an instance in which Cruise threw a photo album at his now-former manager, which hit her hard on the face.

Years ago, Tom Cruise's name got embroiled in another controversy which reportedly resulted in his split with Nicole Kidman. Well, did you know that the Knight And Day actor once sued a gay p*rn celebrity who claimed to have had a love affair with the Hollywood heartthrob? Yes, you read that right!

Cruise filed a $100 million defamation claim against p*rn actor Chad Slater, who goes by the stage name Kyle Bradford, in 2006, according to ABC News. The decision was made after Slater purportedly claimed that he had a love affair with the actor, which caused his marriage with Nicole Kidman to end.

Filed by the Top Gun star, the lawsuit against the p*rn star read, "While Cruise thoroughly respects others’ rights to follow their own sexual preference, he is not a homosexual and had no relationship of any kind with Kyle Bradford and does not even know him".

Cruise won the legal battle, however, despite filing a $100 million lawsuit, he only got $10 million. The actor apparently donated the money he received from the lawsuit to a charity, according to reports.

Before this, the actor and Nicole Kidman had previously sued a British tabloid for referring to their marriage as a "sham".

For the unversed, both Cruise and Kidman have now moved on in their lives. In 2006, the actor got hitched to Katie Holmes after parting ways with Kidman after 11 years of marriage. However, the duo ended their marriage in 2012. 

On the professional front, Cruise is currently working on Mission Impossible 7, which is slated to release in 2023. While the eighth part is expected to hit the theatres in 2024.
