Tom Cruise was once rumored to be joining “The Twilight Saga” for a cameo – but he didn’t need a movie to come face to face with Robert Pattinson. Just the MTV Movie Awards.
In a promotional clip for the June 6 ceremony, the star reprised his role as balding “Tropic Thunder” movie mogul Les Grossman to advise R-Pattz on his appearance at the upcoming MTV awards show.
“MTV is sporting mad wood over the fact that you’re doing the show,” Tom, in character, is seen telling Robert, before warning the “Twilight Saga” vampire not to clean up for the ceremony.
“I’m flying Vidal f****** Sassoon here to personally give you a Brazilian blowout,” he joked in the clip and in character.
“Your filthy hair made you a star,” he added.
In the clip, one of two which feature the “Knight and Day” star, MTV jokingly ran a line of text noting that the fictional Grossman will produce the ceremony.
In another promo spot, Tom revisited his own “Risky Business” briefs-clad dance scene, playing both the potty-mouthed producer and his “Risky” role as teenager Joel Goodsen.
The MTV Movie Awards, hosted by Aziz Ansari, air on the network on June 6. “Knight and Day,” which pairs Tom opposite his “Vanilla Sky” co-star Cameron Diaz, hits theaters on June 25.
Robert’s “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” will be released less than a week later, on June 30.
