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.

How doe she feel about the much more accomplished murderous Stalin and Mao Tse Tung?
If not the same, why not?
Good thing Tom wasnt in the Harvey Milk film,
else he’d have to come out of the closet and
say he always wanted to...well you know.
Tom for you to kill Hitler would be a Mission Impossible, the guy died 20 years before you were born!
If brains were dynamite he couldnt blow his nose.
He didn’t know Hitler was already dead?
Yeah, well I grew up wanting to punch Tom Cruise. So there.
So why doesn’t he join the military and go after an Islamist? Nazism/Islamism = not much difference there.
“I notice that ‘working actors’ - the ones who plug away in film after film in character roles, dont seem to be afflicted with sort of idiocy.”
Yep, Robert Duvall and John Voight come to mind.
Kill Hitler? Someone should have told little Tommy that Hitler had been dead for a couple of decades already. Then he could have obsessed about something else.
Letsee...didn’t tom also say that he wanted to eat a placenta?
What a whackjob.
If I went to work some day and announced that I had grown up wanting to kill Napoleon, they would lock me up.
That’s the difference between being a normal person (more or less) and a Hollywood celebrity. Sanity if required from the former, prohibited from the latter.
Oh please, Tommy. They’re called “movies”. Not real life. Stick to jumping on couches and playing air guitar.
That a coincidence. I grew up wanting to kill Xenu, the scientologist alien god who lives in volcanos.
I bet he supports the Marxist!
“I bet he supports the Marxist!”
He probably thinks Karl is one of Groucho’s brothers.
Uh-oh, dude ! You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sued !
Wonder if Hitler grew up wanting to kill T.C. If he had to listen to T.C.’s goofy psychobabble, he would have committed suicide a LOT sooner.
Yep. Hitler had already been dead 17 years when he was born. What a lousy childhood he must have had.
These guys say stupid things all the time, but reserve their stupidest comments for when they’re promoting their latest work of art.
Earth to Tom: Hitler killed himself before you were born.
