Tom Cruise is one of Hollywood's brightest stars, but his personal life has also been a constant focus of the media. There have previously been rumours that Cruise is gay, despite dating various women and having children. Former co-star Colin Farrell was perplexed when asked in an interview whether Tom Cruise is gay or straight. However, Farrell is one of the few celebrities that like to give honest and direct responses during interviews, a trait that few performers possess.
Tom Cruise and Colin Farrell co-starred in the 2002 film ‘Minority Report’, which is possibly why he was asked the question at the same time. On the professional front, Colin Farrell recently received praise for his award-winning film, ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’.

Returning to Colin Farrell, a Reddit thread described how the actor handled a query about whether Tom Cruise was gay or straight.
The actor replied, “He is straight. No one has a perfect gay-dar. But I have a pretty good one.” Farrell continued, “I have met gay guys who are more butch than him. I definitely think he is straight. You are the first one to ask me which I am not surprised by but why would you ask me that question? But, yes, he is definitely straight.” Tom Cruise too earlier, subtly addressed the questions over his s*xuality where he said that he has no idea why people always made assumptions.
Social media users reacted angrily to Colin Farrell's calmly addressing Tom Cruise's s*xuality. One user said, “That’s nice of him to give an honest answer but don’t usually actors get offended by questions like this? Colin went into a monologue like he wrote an essay on this for his senior project.”
Another shared, “Def not sober,” as one added, “Interviews back in the day were wild.” One person shared, “Everyone was so f**king mean. What a weird time.” And, an individual stated, “I love Colin Farrell. he seems like such a nice guy – he’s not quite at Keanu Reeves’ level, but he’s close. watch all these scandals erupt now, and I’ll be forced to backtrack. Lol.”

One person commented, “idk what is the best part of this video: him not being surprised by the question and answering directly; him saying GA- straight; or the ‘no one has a perfect gaydar (hand signs) but I have a pretty good one.’ lol”
