(Now with improved video!) Tom Cruise has appeared in character as Les Grossman, the dancing, ultra-foul-mouthed movie producer he played in Tropic Thunder, at the MTV Movie Awards. He appeared on stage with Jennifer Lopez.

If you aren’t familiar with Les Grossman, you’re missing out. Some of the dialogue scenes are too foul to put even on The Punch (no, really) but here’s the credits scene for Tropic Thunder as an introduction.

      Tropic Thunder where Robert Downey Jr played an Academy Award winning Australian method actor who had undergone color change surgery to play an African American soldier..the irony of it all

      My two cents…
      The firm movie i think is better than the book, and i can only say that about a few movies…
      OK… It IS the 80s… It is a movie one grows out of i guess,
      Mission impossible (first) i honestly found really entertaining… I dont know what more you want from it…
      Jerry is both a chick flick and a sports flick… it is more entertaining for yanks i guess…
      I dont think magnolia is a chick fiick at all… Its a cluster movie… The directing is more important than the acting… but tom is really good in it…
      How on earth you consider these BAD is beyond me…
      You want bad?
      Try Rob Schnider, any Carry On movie, Smokie and the Bandit, almost any movie based on a video game (maybe prince of persia will be exception i havent seen it)

      It’s just Tom Cruise being Tom Cruise (ie a douche) in a fat suit and a bald cap. And how long ago was Tropic Thunder? Who even remembers? Lame and attention seeking. Yawn.
