Tom Cruise gave a prankster a very stern telling off in 2005.
20 years ago at the London premiere of Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds, a Channel 4 prankster pretended to be a journalist while on the red carpet.
Posing as a reporter, the prankster squirted water at Tom and he got a little wet in the face.
The actor thought he was doing an interview on the red carpet when the microphone squirted a stream of water into his face.
Tom was fuming and sternly asked: "Why would you do that?"
He then batted away the faux mic away and pulled the prankster forward.
"What’s so funny about that?" he pressed.
"It’s ridiculous," he went on to fume as the prankster apologised and defended himself.
But Tom's rant didn't end there.
"You like doing mean things to people?" he asked.
As the prankster walked away, Tom then shouted out: "Hey, hey, no, no, don’t run away.
"Don’t run away, it’s incredibly rude. I’m here giving you an interview and answering your questions and you do something really nasty."
He then added: "You’re a jerk. You’re a jerk. You know what, you’re a jerk."
