Tom Cruise is presently in Berlin wrapping up the filming of Valkyrie, a flicker what deals with anti-Nazi activists during World War II. And although the concentration camps have been long since closed, someone on set made his own gas chamber–while observing a moment of silence before filming, an unnamed crew member honked forth a loud, flappy fart. Our gossip fairy godmother, Female First, reports:
Fellow star Christian Berkel – who plays anti-Hitler plotter Albrecht Mertz von Quirbheim – said: "The film's director Bryan Singer, the screenplay writer Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise asked us all to observe a moment's silence shortly before we started filming."
A source on the set added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Fortunately the mystery gassy man didn't completely ruin the touching gesture. Quite rightly, Tom is furious. We were filming at the Bendler Block in Germany where the anti-Nazis were executed. So for somebody to pass wind in a situation like that is unforgivable."
The silence was filmed and now Cruise and the producers will go through the footage to identify the culprit, who is likely to be fired.
Disrespectful? Yes. Hilarious? Definitely. Farting = superior comedy. Especially hilarious when you picture Tom Cruise reprising his A Few Good Men role in his tireless quest to find out who cut the cheese. "I want the toot!" "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TOOT!"
