20 Things You Didn't Know About Eyes Wide Shut
15. Tom Cruise Had To Produce ID Just To Rent A Movie
Asking for an autograph is one thing, asking world famous celebs for ID? That's got to be an awkward, especially when said celeb was one of the most recognisable faces in the world.
When Tom made his way to a Hertfordshire Blockbuster video rental shop in 1998 to hire a movie, he was apparently refused service without the necessary forms of ID required to set up an account. Asking the world's most recognisable movie star for the requisite two forms of ID to watch a film must've been quite an experience. The original BBC news story, with a statement from Blockbuster is still online:
"We always ask for two forms of ID. Our staff member was simply following company sign up procedures."
Good for them.
