Tom Cruise may be Hollywood's ultimate action star, but there's one exclusive club that apparently won't let him back in: Bugatti ownership. According to industry insiders, Cruise was blacklisted by the elite automaker following a viral mishap at the Mission: Impossible Ill premiere in 2006. He arrived in a brand-new Bugatti Veyron, but struggled to open the passenger door on the red carpet-a minor fumble that quickly made global headlines.
Bugatti, known for its strict standards and obsession with brand image, reportedly wasn't amused. The company is said to have quietly added Cruise to its internal "do not sell" list, barring him from ever purchasing another one of their multi-million-dollar supercars. So while Cruise can scale cliffs and hang off jets on screen, the one high-performance move he can't make is getting behind the wheel of another Bugatti.
