Once upon a time Tom Cruise was attached to the Captain Planet character of the early 90's semi-popular Saturday morning cartoon of the same name. He backed out.
Now we know why. Apparently Tom Cruise doesn't care about the planet. According to the NY Daily News:
Cruise, whose net worth is upwards of $250 million, is known to have an
affinity for fast vehicles, including motorcycles, Porsches and planes.
Some estimate the actor spent $1 million in 2006 on fuel alone.
See, Captain Planet tends to frown on such things. So does Vin Diesel (despite his last name) as he will be playing CP in a live-action movie next year. That does not sound good.
