Tom Cruise is ‘permanently banned’ from buying a Bugatti

There is one mission that is impossible…

Tom Cruise is one of Hollywood’s biggest names, but the actor is believed to be banned from owning vehicles from one of the world’s most luxurious car brands.

The Mission Impossible star is said to own many a fancy car, including the Chevrolet Chevelle SS, Ford Mustang Saleen S281, and a Buick Roadmaster.

One of Cruise’s other vehicles is a Bugatti Veyron, but according to reports it will be the last car he owns from the French automotive producer.

The tale of how Cruise got ‘blacklisted’ by the company goes way back to 2006, when the star rocked up to the Mission: Impossible III premiere in the vehicle.

However, he made a bit of a booboo during the red carpet appearance at Hollywood’s Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.

All was going smoothly as the actor got out of the supercar, until he went around to the other side and tried to open the passenger door to let his then-wife Katie Holmes out.

This is where things went pear shaped, as the A-lister couldn’t get the door open in a rather embarrassing moment in front of adoring crowds and hungry photographers.

This clip makes the Bugatti Veyron look somewhat tricky to handle, so you can kind of see why the company has issues with Cruise.

Well, their issues are so big in fact that the actor is reportedly ‘blacklisted’ from ever owning one again.

He’s not the only famous face to be ‘banned’ by Bugatti either.

Other big names rumoured to be blacklisted by the company include Simon Cowell, Floyd Mayweather and Jenson Button.
