Tom Cruise building '£5m bunker to protect against alien attack'

2007-09-28

Hollywood star Tom Cruise is planning to build a bunker at his Colorado home to protect his family in the event of an intergalactic alien attack, according to new reports. The Mission Impossible actor, who is a dedicated follower of Scientology, is reportedly fearful that deposed galactic ruler 'Xenu' is plotting an evil revenge attack on Earth.

According to American magazine Star, a source said: "Tom is planning to build a US$10 million bunker under his Telluride estate."

That should help the local construction industry a little ...

"It's a self-contained underground shelter with a high tech air purifying shelter."

The facility is said to have enough room for ten people - including wife Katie Holmes, 17-month-old daughter Suri and his adopted children Isabella, 14, and Connor, 12.

A spokesperson for the actor has denied the reports, saying: "This is completely untrue. He is not building on his property at all."

"It's an underground .. recreation room. With reinforced concrete walls."
"What about the air purification system?"
"He likes clean air. Don't you?"

The 45-year-old is currently filming World War II movie Rubicon (formerly known as Valkyrie) in Germany, where he is regularly joined on set by Katie and Suri.

#10 Yep you never know when ol Xenu's going to pop out the nukes, volcanoes and antifreeze.

Scientologists are complete and utter dupes - or else assholes.

#6 Why do you think there's room for the kids? Plus I'm pretty sure he'll have all his films and reviews (the glowing ones, anyway).

#4 A state-of-the-art bunker could come in handy. Xenu isn't the only threat around. Ahmanidiot is looking for the bomb; Pakistan has it and folks are talking about normalizing Khan, Putin is stomping his little feet, and there's that question of what China will do if/when their new economic model hiccups.

Yeah, so when Xenu comes back...SCREW YOU, NICOLE!!!

#2 Laugh as much as you will, but if/when xenu comes a-knocking to his door, then that will be money well spent. That could happen, you know. Really.
