Tom Cruise Makes Surprise Visit to Harvard Entertainment Law Class
Attendance was way up yesterday at a Harvard Law School entertainment law class after Tom Cruise made an unexpected appearance along with a celebrity lawyer who was serving as a guest lecturer.
Some 30 minutes after entertainment attorney Bertram Fields, who graduated from the law school in 1952, took the podium, students were electrified to see the famous actor stroll into professor Bruce Hay’s class flashing his megawatt smile, reports the Harvard Law Record.
Cruise explained that he was there to see his attorney lecture and took a seat in the back row, but then participated when Fields referred a number of questions to him. At one point, Fields created a hypothetical that involved Cruise demanding, as part of a contract, that his cat be shipped to Boston. Cruise interjected: “I don’t have a cat.”
As the 5 p.m. class was nearing an end, “a bush fire of text messages, emails, and instant messages had alerted the school that TOM CRUISE!!! was sitting nonchalantly in the back row of Langdell South, and the room was crowded with students who did not regularly attend this class,” the article recounts.
Cruise stayed for about an hour afterward, chatting with law students.
