Tom Cruise ‘Surprised’ by Golden Globe Nomination

Tom Cruise was a guest on “The Tonight Show” Thursday night and the veteran actor spoke with Jay Leno about his Golden Globe nomination and his Broadway aspirations.

Tom admits he was “surprised” about the nomination for his comedic supporting role in ‘Tropic Thunder,’ because the role was unlike any character he’d played before.

He tells Jay he didn’t know when the nominations were being announced and jokes that his requirements for the role were; “I’ve got to have fat hands, and I want to dance!”

Tom also talked about his wife Katie Holmes who is currently performing on Broadway, and he reveals that he might like to try a little theater himself.

“I like making movies but I’m not saying no to Broadway,” he says. “I’d like to do a musical.”

The star also had some parting words for Jay about his move to primetime.

“Hey man congratulations you moved to ten o’clock,” Tom says. “What happened you just didn’t want to stay up that late, what’s the deal?”
