Tom Cruise has admitted to hitchhiking with prostitutes. The oission: Impossible star claims that used to get rides with men picking up hookers outside New York’s Holland Tunnel when he was a struggling actor. He explains, “There were prostitutes, who used to be around the tunnel, who knew me. They’d see me and they’d go, ‘Look, I’ll pick up a john and you jump in’. So I’d ride through the tunnel to New Jersey. The driver’s a little like, ‘What’s this guy doing in the back seat?’ But he saw I’m just this 18-year-old kid. I didn’t look dangerous. And they didn’t do anything sexual in front of me. I’d get out in New Jersey and say, ‘Thank you very much’. Then I’d hitchhike home.” [26 April 2006]
