Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise has finally spoken out, delivering a stinging public rebuke to President Donald Trump after his long-gestating space movie project — a collaboration with SpaceX and NASA — was quietly shelved.

Insiders say Cruise’s decision to go public with his frustration has sent shockwaves through the White House, with aides reportedly stunned by the actor’s unusually blunt criticism of the president.

Sources close to Cruise claim the ambitious film, first announced in 2020 and intended to be the first narrative feature shot in outer space, fell apart because the “Mission: Impossible” star refused to seek federal approval or coordination from the Trump administration — a move he now attributes directly to political differences.

But the real bombshell came when Cruise allegedly told reporters, “I wouldn’t ask that man for a favor if it was the last chance to save the planet — and ironically, that’s what the movie was about.”

The explosive remark, described as scathingly personal, has sparked a fierce backlash in political circles and reignited debates in Hollywood about Trump’s influence on the industry.

Cruise, known for keeping his politics private throughout his career, reportedly decided to break his silence after years of quiet avoidance, including turning down a 2025 Kennedy Center Honor from Trump citing “scheduling conflicts.

“The White House has yet to respond, but the firestorm shows no signs of cooling as clips of Cruise’s comments spread rapidly online.
