Doesn't he do something stupid everyday?


Wanker . It is normally intended as a general insult rather than as an accusation. Wanker has similar meanings and overtones to American pejoratives like "jerk",[1] (http://www.answers.com/topic/wanker#wp-_note-0) "jerk-off", and "prick". One particular connotation is of someone self-obsessed or a show-off (usually male).[2] (http://www.answers.com/topic/wanker#wp-_note-1)
The term "wanker" originated from British slang (http://www.answers.com/topic/slang) in the 1940s (http://www.answers.com/topic/1940s-1), based on the verb "wank".[3] (http://www.answers.com/topic/wanker#wp-_note-2) By the 1970s (http://www.answers.com/topic/seventy), the general meaning of wanker had shifted from its literal origin (as a masturbator) to that of a generic insult;[4] (http://www.answers.com/topic/wanker#wp-_note-3) for example, "a contemptible person". This shift in usage is comparable to that of "dick", "ass" or "jerk." A common use is in the chant "The referee (http://www.answers.com/topic/referee-football)'s a Wanker", or "Who's the wanker in the black?", used by football (http://www.answers.com/topic/soccer) supporters to express disapproval towards a referee.
The word has developed a metaphorical usage, in which to wank or to be a wanker implies egotistical and self-indulgent behaviour. This is the dominant meaning in Australia.[5] (http://www.answers.com/topic/wanker#wp-_note-4) It can be used in this sense in other reasons but it is also used as a more general insult. This meaning is used in phrases like smug wanker, egotistical wanker or pretentious wanker.[6] (http://www.answers.com/topic/wanker#wp-_note-5) Wanker is sometimes used to refer to a person in the same way as snob (http://www.answers.com/topic/snob) for subjects perceived as pretentious; for instance, wine wanker, fashion wanker, car wanker.[7] (http://www.answers.com/topic/wanker#wp-_note-6) This meaning is shown in "Whatareya? (http://www.answers.com/topic/whatareya)", a song by TISM (http://www.answers.com/topic/tism), which contrasts "yobs" (uncouth working class) to "wankers" (which according to the context means pretentious intellectuals). In the United States the current usage of the term is more in reference to the person being an idiot or moron, as opposed to the standard dick or jerk synonym in other countries.

I couldn't care less what most Hollywood actors do outside the big screen. Some do pursue noble / worthwhile causes, while others stay outside the limelight and try to live a quiet life. But many think that money + fame gives their opinions more weight. They usually just end up making themselves look like fools.

He's a Scientologist isn't that enough?

As long as he stays away from making movies like "Vanilla Sky" and makes more movies like "Magnolia" I don't care what he does in his personal life....... (unless he starts dating Natalie Portman.... then its ON!)

Don't really care for him as a person, but he did make two of the greatest movies of all time: Top Gun and Days of Thunder :tu

Actually I REALLY like most of his movies! Probably my favorite actor
