Since the premiere of 'Mission: Impossible III,' Tom Cruise has found himself on the Bugatti blacklist, unable to acquire a car from the renowned French brand.
This exclusion dates back to 2006 when the actor's actions during the film's debut left a negative impression.
Tom Cruise's name would undoubtedly feature among the top ten highest-paid Hollywood actors, owing to his daring performances in the "Mission: Impossible" series.
The release dates for the seventh and eighth installments were postponed to November 19, 2021, and November 4, 2022, respectively, due to the global coronavirus crisis.
Ironically, the very success that elevated Cruise's status in Hollywood may explain the staunch opposition he faces when attempting to purchase a Bugatti.
For the past 14 years, the actor has been on the blacklist of clients maintained by the French luxury car manufacturer.
The genesis of this exclusion can be traced back to 2006, during the premiere of the third installment of "Mission: Impossible," directed by JJ Abrams.
Bugatti, headquartered in Molsheim, perceived the door-opening incident during which Cruise struggled for several seconds to open the co-pilot door, creating the impression that the Veyron, valued at over a million euros, was poorly designed. This interpretation led to the enduring ban on Cruise from acquiring a Bugatti.
