SEOUL (Reuters) – Tom Cruise, who fails to assassinate Adolf Hitler in his new movie "Valkyrie," said he grew up really wanting to kill the Nazi leader.

In the World War Two thriller based on a true story of the unsuccessful attempt by German soldiers to kill Hitler, Cruise plays Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg who plants a briefcase bomb under a table at Hitler's military headquarters.

A heavy wooden table saves Hitler and Stauffenberg is executed with his co-conspirators.

"I always wanted to kill Hitler, I hated him," the Hollywood star of such major blockbusters as "Top Gun" and "Mission Impossible," told the press during a visit to Seoul to promote his latest film.

Shut up, Tommy Boy. You’re second-in-command of a murderous cult. KMA.

Cruise looks pretty good for a guy who by believing this must be around seventy-eight years old.

If this is what fame and money does to your brain, I want to remain poor and unknown, for ever.

Apparently, Tom Cruise is unable to comprehend that Hitler died approximately 20 years before he was born and/or believes in time travel. No wonder he grew up to be a scientologist.

It comes from “stupid money” - people who work hard for their money don’t seem to be afflicted with this disease.

I notice that “working actors” - the ones who plug away in film after film in character roles, don’t seem to be afflicted with sort of idiocy.

Hitler was dead 18 years before Cruise was even born. What a jerk.

Too much easy money disconnects people from the consequences of their lunacy. Until one day, it doesn’t.

T.C.'s facial surgeon deserved billionaire status before he died of old age if T.C. had a wanton desire referencing Adolf Hitler.

> I always wanted to kill Hitler, I hated him

So why doesn’t he kill someone who’s actually alive like Osama bin Laden or Mugabe?
