Tom Cruise Rocks Out at Oasis Reunion Even Though the Gallaghers Don’t Like His Movies

Tom Cruise popped up at one of Oasis’ reunion gigs in London over the weekend, officially putting to rest any lingering rumors surrounding the incredibly low stakes and deep cut (certainly by Oasis’ standards) beef between the actor and band.

Cruise kept a relatively low profile at Oasis’ July 25 gig at Wembley Stadium, but he was spotted by the DJ/producer Goldie, who happened to be sitting a few rows ahead of him. Cruise can be seen in the background of one video Goldie posted on social media, while the DJ also snapped a selfie with the movie star. 

While it would obviously make sense for a gigantic movie star who largely resides in London to attend one of the biggest concert events of the year, Cruise and Oasis do have a prickly history, as NME notes. Back in Oasis’ 2007 tour doc, Lord Don’t Slow Me Down, there’s a scene in which brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher find some rare common ground, which just so happens to be roasting Cruise. 

“He’s a little fucker, and he’s not been in one good film in his entire career,” Noel declared. 

Liam then proclaimed that Cocktail was “great,” then seemingly dismissed the (actually correct) opinions of others in the room who said Eyes Wide Shut was good, too. Liam then added, “I hate Tom Cruise. Bastard. Him and [footballer] Michael Owen.”

If these comments ever rankled Cruise, it seems like he’s gotten past them, certainly for the good of Rock & Roll. Also, for what it’s worth, there was a very classically vague tabloid report in 2009 suggesting that, a couple of years after Lord Don’t Slow Me Down, Cruise and Liam “made polite conversation” after running into each other at a Berlin hotel.

Oasis have a few more shows left in London before continuing the U.K. and Ireland leg of their reunion tour. The run will touch down in North America later next month, with additional shows scheduled in Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and South America through November.
