Tom Cruise dropped in on Vic and Bob – you would not believe it
As if to swoop in and comfort us in our hour of great need, Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer are back on our tellies with four special episodes of their Big Night Out – it’s almost as though they were never away. With their international comedy status secured, they’ve managed to attract an A-list guest, in the shape of Tom Cruise – the actor. Not his exact shape, to be fair.
Is that really…? Yes it is! Actual Tom Cruise drops by for a special guest appearance with Vic & Bob! ⭐ pic.twitter.com/gj8YZjfdUt

It does look like him, but the eagle-eyed amongst you might have spotted that it was actually not him, but actor Vaun Earl Norman – shocking, I know. You might want to replay it to check for yourself.
If you were wondering how Vaun nailed the performance, this might explain it.
Five years at RADA, four years with Philippe Gaulier, three years studying with Lee Strasberg. Ten years as a Jesuit Monk in Nepal. Prepares you well. https://t.co/vPfeqhk1h1

These are some of the things people were saying about Vic and Bob’s Big Night Out.

The last word has to go to Tom Cruise, himself.
Son is sat with me watching #vicandbob, just told he doesn't know if he feels very proud or horrified.
