It isn't about putting his name with Newmans' its about saying goodbye to his friend. Perhaps it is naive of me to think that he is unselfish enough that he can be just saying goodbye to someone he really admired but I'd sure take it over being so cynical that I can't accept such a simple motive.

They had a genuine documented friendship and Tom WAS (and probably still could be) a really fine actor. All I really meant was that it's difficult now to see Tom as anything other than the wierdo CoS poster boy. And him paying a genuine, heartfelt tribute to Paul sadly won't change that.

I thought it was really skeezy of him to try and link his name with that of Paul Neman. Glad to see I’m not the only one who thought that Tom was just trying to get his name mentioned again.

I know Tom is an Untouchable and all, but even people you despise are allowed to mourn their friends. This was a nice tribute, it seems kinda petty to use it as an excuse to hate on Tom.

I highly doubt, other than racing he spent anytime with TC, really do you think someone who genuinely had a great sense of humor, and wanted so much to help others would really bother with Tom Cruise? A smug little egomaniac? I don't think so. Pity maybe, friendship no so much. Paul probably felt sorry for TC, in that he was sucked into a cult and all.

Even though I dislike ZOAZ, I think he and Newman really did have a good friendship, or mentor/mentee relationship. But yeah, Newman probably thought Cruise had gone crazy the past few years.

Won't happen, Tom. Yes, agree here that Tom is probably genuinely in awe of and inspired by Paul – who wouldn’t be? – but he’s also looking for some of Paul’s glory by association.

Somehow it's sort of sickening to see this little tyrant trying to link himself to a real hero. Gracie, you said it for me too.
