Tom Cruise is a man that is somewhat unaware of his surroundings; he has no idea he is quite grossly unpopular, he has no idea how annoying his Scientolo-speak is, and he has no idea that Katie-bot has an ‘off’ button. Further proof of Cruise’s lack of ability to comprehend what is going on around him, the actor pissed off about half of Brazil when promoting his latest movie ‘Valkyrie’ [Website – Amy Grindhouse].
Crusie cranked up the batshit crazy and started talking to the sexy country folk of Brazil, in what he thought was their native tongue.
According to Page Six, “Cruise tried to ingratiate himself to reporters by saying hola (hello) and gracias (thanks), not realizing that the language of Brazil is Portuguese, not Spanish. Accord ing to Glamurama.com, Cruise also said he fell in love with Brazil watching movies about samba and tango, unaware that tango is an Argentine dance.”

heehee…
what a dumbass! too bad they didn’t string hgim up and torture him for that mistake…lol
Is he wearing high heels or standing on a box?
What? I thought they speak Spanish too, there must be many Spanish speakers there then?
There are Spanish speakers in pretty much every country. That doesn’t mean you think everyone can understand if you speak it. Don’t act ignorant.
@Busybee – Oh, hai!
@ Mystery Man – I would love for some official group that reps the people of Brazil to rip him a new one (a la Miley and China)
@ Mik – I’ll say heels???
@ Firecracker – I’m only mildly ashamed to admit that the only reason I know they speak Portuguese is cos I saw it on an episode of ‘The Simpsons’ XD
@ Pauls – Hello again, fair point, he is ignorant for not bothering to ask one of his many people, before flexing his verbal skills.
