Tom Cruise has a unique approach to travel. He takes trips to European villages with only 14 inhabitants. In addition, he spends a fortune on his private jet, with absurd maintenance costs on his Gulfstream GIV.
In addition, the actor has some strict rules when it comes to his hotel stays. Even before his fame during the early ’80s, Tom Cruise took exception to a certain hotel arrangement at The Plaza Hotel in New York. Rob Lowe revealed the details, and why Cruise lost his cool over the booking.
Rob Lowe Revealed Tom Cruise Lost His Cool Early On In His Career After The Two Had To Share A Hotel Room
Even Before His Fame In Hollywood, Tom Cruise Was Set On Having Private Accommodations.
Tom Cruise is a man that values his privacy, especially during a hotel stay. According to Deuxmoi, the actor takes things a step further nowadays and gives a fake name when booking, while even allegedly wearing a wig during his hotel stay. We have reason to believe the story might be true given that Cruise himself admitted he takes public transportation in the UK while trying to hide his identity with glasses and a hat.
However, keeping his privacy really isn’t anything new. The same held true at the start of his career while he was filming the iconic film, The Outsiders.
According to Rob Lowe, Cruise went ballistic over the two sharing a room during the film. For Lowe, staying at The Plaza Hotel was a major deal. On the flip side, Tom scoffed at the arrangements given he wasn’t able to get his own room.
Lowe revealed, “All of the L.A. people survived the L.A. auditions, and then the hand-picked people had to go to New York to face the New York version. So it was me and Tom Cruise and Emilio [Estevez] and C. Thomas Howell.”
He continues, “[It was the] first time I ever stayed at The Plaza Hotel, and we check-in and Tom finds out that we’re sharing a room and just goes ballistic.”

Mariah Carey: Only Approves Suites That Are All White.
Tony Robbins: Huge Rider Lists For Hotels.

Cruise knew his worth very early on in Hollywood. We doubt that following the experience, Cruise was ever asked to split a room with a co-star again…

Who needs a commercial flight when you can pilot your own plane and spend time in a jacuzzi during a flight? That’s the reality for Tom Cruise on his stunning Gulfstream IV. The private plane has a worth of over $20 million, with the upkeep costs as high as over $2 million per year. Other factors for the operating costs include fuel, check-ups, cleaning, amenities, insurance and crew salaries.
Tom Cruise spent time in the UK after his home in Clearwater, Florida was in jeopardy due to the threat of Hurricane Milton.
Tom Cruise is attached to other plans as well. One of them appeared in Top Gun: Maverick, the North American P-51 Mustang. Cruise also has connections to the Bombardier Challenger 300 and HondaJet HA-420. Given his flying experience, wealth, and stardom, rarely will anyone see Tom Cruise on a commercial flight. However, he is known to take public transport while hiding his identity.
Tom Cruise Does Use Public Transportation While In Different Parts Of The World, But Admits His Security Team Isn’t Fond Of It

Tom Cruise taking the subway? Yes, the actor told Jimmy Kimmel all about his experience in England riding the tube. Cruise was trying to go incognito, but it wasn’t enough to hide his identity.
“I remember one time I was there and there was this 14-year-old kid, this girl was there. And everyone was looking at their phones and I just saw her, I looked over, my head’s down I got my baseball cap, and she’s just staring at me like this.”
“She just looked around the subway like this, and then looked back to me, and I went [puts a finger in front of lips]. And the look she gave me, she just looked around, she was like [smiling], took her iPhone and went ‘click’ and was like ‘Alright.’ I’ll never forget her.”
As expected, Cruise’s security team wasn’t fond of his decision.
“I do go on transportation. My security loves that when I do that. The Tube in England. I do that. Like, sometimes I put on my hat and my earphones and I’ll just go in and get on the Tube if I want to get to the studio.”
Who knows, maybe you’ll run into Cruise on the tube someday.
