In 2005, a prankster squirted water in Tom Cruise's face during an interview at the London premiere of War of the Worlds. Cruise responded by calmly but firmly confronting the man, calling his actions "incredibly rude" and a "nasty" stunt. Credit: Channel 4 | History In Pictures

In June 2005, during the London premiere of “War of the Worlds,” Tom Cruise was squirted with water from a fake microphone by a prankster posing as a reporter. The incident was part of a stunt by a Channel 4 film crew, who were later arrested and bailed. Channel 4 issued an apology to Cruise, stating that the stunt was intended as light-hearted comedy. Cruise remained composed during the incident, chastising the prankster by saying, “You’re a jerk.” | History In Pictures
