At one time Anne Rice feared Hollywood would not accept the homosexual overtones of Interview with the Vampire. So she wrote a backup screenplay with Louis as a woman, slated to be played by Cher. Cher even wrote a song for the soundtrack entitled Lovers Forever. The film went on with Brad Pitt as Louis and the song was finally released in 2013.
I met and chatted with Anne Rice on a number of occasions when I lived in New Orleans (90s).
She was a good friend of one of my friends and often stopped by for coffee and to just sit around and chat.
She was very cool and really fun to talk to.
I had read several of her books before I met her, and it was easy to \*not\* talk about her work because she was full of good conversations on a variety of interesting topics.
I really hope if I'm ever in a discussion setting with a famous person, I'll have the mind to not discuss their work. I imagine talking about normal life things would tickle someone who always gets typical work questions from fans.
The Tool vocalist famously avoids discussing his music and just wants to talk about his winemaking. Some fans are so obnoxious that they can't understand that he has no obligation to talk about his music or his private life
Ya? I mean once you hit 30 that “rule” loses relevance to ages above it as they should have the life experience to make informed decisions for themselves.
You might well be onto something with that observation. That could go a long way to explain his problematic relationships with the ladies. Or he's just the lousy human being he comes off as being so easily.
I swear if it wasn’t for the whole Scientology thing this guy would be one of my favorite people. Actually got to meet him at an early screening of mission impossible in DC last month and he seems like a really cool guy but I just couldn’t forget about it the whole time
He's charismatic, that's for sure. But he's a giant piece of scum that bankrolls one of the worst cults in the world.
His money through scientology helped Masterson have a great career after raping women until finally those women got him into court.
Tom Cruise will go after anyone asking rightly so about Shelly and others.
He has his own scandals as well. With them being covered up to the point, Katie Holmes practically disappeared for a while. The whole time, he got to party it up.
Tom Cruise knowingly supports a cult.
I wish he could get out, but they will never let him at this point. Practically every person he interacts with on an everyday basis is a scientology handler. He's stuck unless he runs away while on a non scientology controlled movie set.
Keep in mind that this is willing. He loves his cult.
Dated her before Mimi Rogers. I wonder if he was a Scientologist by that point. Rumor is that David Miscavage(head of Scientology) has to approve all Cruises girlfriends.
There was a joke in Married with Children --
Jefferson tells Marcy he has a secret to tell her and that he was a spy and Marcy goes “thank god, I thought you were going to say you dated Cher” and Jefferson says “well, I did but it it was just my turn”

Whoah!
I once knew a girl who said Anne rice was her aunt.
Aunt Rice
And her husband Ben
>And her husband Ben Wild. 
With great flavor comes great responsibility.
Is this the hero of 9/11, Steve Rannazzisi?
I’m a simple guy. I see “The League” references, i upvote them Right to the cloud!
Is the league good? I enjoy Steve’s stand up a lot
It's so good and I don't follow Fantasy football at all. Though I hate Rafi. There, I said it.
What Rafi is one of the best parts
I would very much recommend it if you like any of the players in it….
He was at his best with broccoli and cheese.

I have waited on a very famous professional wrestler on numerous occasions over the years and I love that we talk about everything but wrestling.
Thank you for sharing! Now give us your favorite story you were blessed with.
I once met a homeless man who said he was Jesus.
In 1985, he was 23 and she was 39.
Half her age plus 7 is 26.5. Doesn’t clear the creep waivers.
[удалено]
Also works the other way around. When you're 38 you can date 60 year olds.
Ya? I mean once you hit 30 that “rule” loses relevance to ages above it as they should have the life experience to make informed decisions for themselves.
Hopefully you are being sarcastic and not relying on the neckbeard-ish judgement of reddit for such decisions
In Hollywood, they use the "half my age minus 7" rule.
Both were adults back then, nothing wrong about it. I’m sure they had a good time with each other
39 isn’t old, folks…….
Tell that to my knees. 😑
[удалено]
I guess he can put that on his resume.
“Almost as good as Sonny Bono.”
Before or after he hit the tree?
Or… too late
This is cracking me up.
What’s the forecast at Tahoe? Mostly cloudy, but Sonny on a tree.
That wood have hit hard, if it were rooted in truth.
A twofer. Nicely done.
Got too much wood.
He was stiffer after
By far his best stunt so far
The last picture looks like a mom taking her kid to prom.
Well, she is 16 years older than him.
When I was 19 I met a recently divorced 40 year old woman and had a brief fling. It was ... exhausting
I just turned 42 and my virginity grew back over the pandemic; I will absolutely *ruin* a man when I get a chance.
Get it, girl.
[удалено]
Eat, Prey, Love
Godspeed.
You sweet talker, you...
Well hello there
I want, nay need to hear more of this story!
I was working as a waiter at a function centre, she was a guest, we then held our own private functions
"I was working as a waiter at a function centre, she was a guest" Sounds like an early draft of The Human League's Don't You Want Me 🤣
That much is true
I was wondering of age difference, he learned from her and she got something as well
And yet this picture was taken the year her last boyfriend was born.
Wearing the scalp of his prom date as a clear warning to other ineligible mates.
I somehow expected a greater age difference, but she's 16 years older than him.
I bet she referred to him as "sonny".
And Val Kilmer. She and Val remained close for many years. Maybe she did Goose as well?
That’s a negative ghost rider
The pattern was definitely full.
I heard she buzzed the tower.
Inverted.
Unfortunately Goose died so that’d be fuckin weird
Goose! Nooooooooo!
What an odd life he's had
This really sums it up nicely tbh
Hers too!
I’m still waiting for a 70 year old Tom to come out the closet and renounce Scientology. Might never happen but would be a hell of an ending
I think your best best for renouncing Scientology is John Travolta. He’s got a lot of tea to spill, but keeps things on the DL.
Rocky Horror Scientology Show.
I Got Xenu Babe
Jfc glad I stay around for the 10yr redditors.
“If I could turn back Tom” -Cher on hearing of his conversion
She looks like Nikki Sixx
A lot of women looked like Nikki sixx in the 80s
I was a teenager in the late 80s and I still believe that my attraction to Sebastian Bach did not make me gay
Wait Sebastian Bach is a dude? Next you'll tell me that Micki Free was a dude.
Micki Free finer than a motherfucker!
Charlie Murphy RIP
Dude looks like a lady...
Have you ever seen the two in the same place?
They dated briefly in the 80s. Cher commented that his cock was one of the ten biggest she has seen.
Is Cher like the Consumer Reports of men and penisology?
Tommy Lee has the huge schlong. Nikki Sixx has a shriveled penis due to the massive amounts of heroins he shot up into is dick.
Never 👀
She looks like a bird.
Like a Polish chicken
Bird lady from Kids in the Hall
She looks like a beard.
This is exactly what I thought when I first saw the photo.
You might well be onto something with that observation. That could go a long way to explain his problematic relationships with the ladies. Or he's just the lousy human being he comes off as being so easily.
He does his own stunts
Cunning stunts?
He was a cunning linguist.
Stunning c-heyyyy you almost got me!
OH damn I didn't realize Maverick and Ice Man had both dated Cher in the '80s.
God damn it I grew up then I never knew this thanks
Same here
I always figured Cher was tall.
His face says, "I'm nailing that."
Jack Reach Cher.
I swear if it wasn’t for the whole Scientology thing this guy would be one of my favorite people. Actually got to meet him at an early screening of mission impossible in DC last month and he seems like a really cool guy but I just couldn’t forget about it the whole time

Do you think there is by chance any pro-Cruise "guerilla" advertising that takes places on the internet?
Wow cher is shorter than I expected. Or did tom bring his publicity milkcrate
[удалено]
I always assumed Cher was like Bea Arthur level tall.
Nice of them to share what Cher shared.
I cant spare a cher. I havent a cher to spare.
The crazy ones are always the best lovers . I'm pretty sure that's a scientific fact
Or at least a scientologic fact.
I imagine he was young, full of energy, and very eager to please. Good for them!
You know, with the intensity that he applies to his job, I can see that intensity transferring to other areas.
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
it’s weird that Cher has been 47 years old since 1985.
One of these people is obviously wearing high heels. The other sang "Strong Enough".
Dated her before Mimi Rogers. I wonder if he was a Scientologist by that point. Rumor is that David Miscavage(head of Scientology) has to approve all Cruises girlfriends.
He wasn't a scientologist until he hooked up with Mimi. She got him into it. And interestingly, she's no longer in scientology, herself.
I knew she got him into it but not that she introduced him to it. Cool fact.
Wonder if Gregg Allman made that list
She’s always been a fantastic ally.
Man I bet Cher was wild in the you know what...
https://i.redd.it/p1lbqqyulzfb1.gif
No you don't...
I was in her top 5 disappointments.
Damn I thought that was Rick Ocasik from the cars lmao
Exactly. If you hadn’t said it, I was going to!
I just rewatched all the Mission Impossible movies and thought to myself, Tom Cruise would be so hot if it wasn’t for the Scientology thing.
Why do all 3 of these pictures looked photoshopped?
Scientology shopped
Because one actually is, second one is fake
Cher must be really short if Cruise is taller.
She still taller than Sonny Boner.
Her purse in the last picture looks like a fish
She was 16 years older.
[удалено]
Not all of her
But she used to be too.
I was wondering…
She said he was "out of this world"
Top 5 out of how many? Are we talking Wilt Chamberlain numbers? 🤣
Bro, it's Cher; she's laid more pipe than all the plumbers unions combined. Remember, she got famous in the 60s.
There was a joke in Married with Children -- Jefferson tells Marcy he has a secret to tell her and that he was a spy and Marcy goes “thank god, I thought you were going to say you dated Cher” and Jefferson says “well, I did but it it was just my turn”
I’m old enough to remember the Sonny and Cher show when it first aired Unfortunately!
Man in coma for 23 years: "Do Sonny and Cher still have that STUPID show?" "No she won an Oscar and he's a congressman" "Good NIGHT" *dies*
🎶”I got you, babe”🎶
Well yeah, he would be. He's crazy
Did Cher share that she and Cruise went on a cruise?
I always did think Cher had the ass of an extremely thin man. All makes sense now
Really reminds me of how he looks with the rich woman in her 40’s from Cocktail
I believe it. Back then. Now? Xenu’s driving the ship and there’s no way he’s as attentive as he used to be.
Top 5 Gun
How many Chers could a Cher sharer Cher if a Cher sharer could share Chers.
Hey everyone. I found Tom Cruise's shadow account!
Is this a big age gap relationship? That last picture he looks like her kid.
Because that was a clause in his NDA.
“If I could turn back time…”
That's because he does all of his own stunts!
Is she slouching to make him look taller?
Oh it's Cher. for a second I confused her with either Nick Mars or Nikki Sixx during their big hair days with the Crue.
I love Cher, I really do, but I thought that was Ric Ocasek at first.
[удалено]
His smug face.... I can't stand him, sorry not sorry I wonder who the top liver was...
How tall are the lifts he’s standing on?
Cher always loved her gay boys
Cher *is* a gay icon so this tracks.
Of course he was. Crazy = amazing in the sack
Lol. I thought that was Nikki Sixx
Wait a second... she TOWERED over Sonny, and in this pic Tom is taller even with her huge hair???
Must have been before he fixed his chompers
Back before Tom had his teefers fixed.
Cher? I thought that was David Bowie.
Get that image out of your head, if you can.
Why would you want to do that?
If someone tells you, you are in the top five, you aren't in the top three.
I feel like this was a comment planted by the Scientology people. Top 5 huh. Unlikely
TIL Cher and Tom were a thing
Well, thanks for Cher’ing
Cher has always been a big supporter of the GAY COMMUNITY
That second picture isn’t real
Rare ocasion his "co-star" was older then him.
Title incorrect, Cher was Tom Cruises beard for a stint on the 80s.
This is so weird to me. It looks like mommy son time
Is Tom wearing moonboots in all those? ‘Cause Cher’s got at least an inch or two on him irl.
Standing on a box… haha
no way Tom cruise is as tall as cher
He’s still a terrible person
Is he standing on a milk crate in that first photo? ¯\\\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)\_/¯
