Tom Cruise is one of the world’s most famous actors and is well-known for being an enthusiast of superfast cars. However, there has been a long-standing rumor that he has been refused entry to Bugatti’s showrooms.

What is the reason for Tom Cruise’s ban from Bugatti?

Founded in 1909 by Ettore Bugatti, the luxurious carmaker popularly known as ‘Bugatti’ commands respect and loyalty from its customers.

With some of the fastest cars on earth sold under this brand, it’s no wonder it has become so sought after. The reputation surrounding this car manufacturer has also made it an outstanding choice for many of Hollywood’s finest celebrities, such as Tom Cruise.

Despite being a strong admirer, Cruise appears to have been blacklisted by the brand, leaving fans perplexed about what could have warranted such a high-status actor treatment.

What went down between Bugatti and Cruise?

Cruise arrived at the premiere of Mission Impossible 3 in a Bugatti Veyron, the most expensive road-legal car at that point.

Despite the strong statement, things quickly turned sour.

After the high-profile actor got out of the car, he proceeded to the other side to open the door for his Ex, Katie Holmes. To everyone’s surprise, Cruise appeared to have no clue how to open the door from the outside.

The internet has been flooded with videos showing the uncomfortable moment in all its glory.

Eventually, the door unlocked after some fiddling.

In spite of this, Bugatti was not happy to see one of its finest cars looking bad at the premiere of a highly anticipated movie. According to a report, the uber-luxury automaker subsequently banned Cruise from purchasing its products.
