Tom Cruise attended Oasis’ sold-out reunion concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium, marking a memorable moment given the past tensions between the famed actor and the British rock band. The Gallagher brothers—Liam and Noel—have reunited for a major 2025 world tour after years of public disputes, and Cruise’s presence highlighted a surprising thaw in their longtime dynamic.
The History Behind the Gallagher Brothers’ Criticism of Tom Cruise
In the 2007 rock documentary Lord Don’t Slow Me Down, directed by Baillie Walsh, Oasis mocked Tom Cruise during their 2005–2006 world tour for the album Don’t Believe the Truth. Footage showed Noel Gallagher disparaging Cruise’s film career and Liam joining in with harsh language, reflecting their strong opinions.
He’s a little fucker, and he’s not been in one good film in his entire career,
Noel Gallagher commented on camera about Cruise. Liam Gallagher added:
I hate Tom Cruise. Bastard. Him and [soccer player] Michael Owen.

Despite these insults, Cruise and Liam Gallagher reportedly had a civil encounter in 2009 at a hotel in Berlin, where Cruise was promoting the movie Valkyrie and Liam was preparing for an Oasis concert. Cruise allegedly confronted Liam, mentioning the documentary’s criticism but also reminding him that he called the film Cocktail a good movie. They shook hands before departing, suggesting no lingering hostility between them.
