Is Tom Cruise left-handed?

  Improve

No, he isn't.
Actually, yes he is. He was born left handed. However, his kindergarten teacher forced him to write with his right hand. So even though he writes with his right hand, he is still left handed. He does everything else with his left hand.
No, he doesn't do everything else left handed. Just watch his movies. He uses his right hand for EVERYTHING. The only two exceptions are in the movie Vanilla Sky and Valkyrie where his character lost the use of his right arm. (BORN ON THE 4th OF JULY he shoots his rifle left handed is it must be three then) Though, he did a good job of playing someone forced to use his left hand, in all of his other movies (just watch) he does EVERYTHING right handed. I've seen him on several list of left handed actors, and my best guess as to how that happened was the pages were created by people who had seen one or both of those two movies.
Another actor I've seen on these lists is Robert DeNiro, and he is NOT left handed either. I don't know what movie anyone could possibly have gotten that impression. It's listed on some interesting facts about him that he wrote with his right hand in Taxi Driver even though he is left handed. Yes, he wrote with his right hand in Taxi Driver AND in every other movie that he has been in. I've also seen clips of him signing autographs, and he uses his right hand to do so. Two more actors who I have seen on these lists who are NOT at all left handed and I don't know where anyone got the impression that they were is Brad Pitt and Jim Carrey




Watch the movie "The Color of Money" for an excellent example of him being left handed. He plays pool left handed. Then google "Tom Cruise Left Handed" for more information. I stand by what I said.
I have already googled Tom Cruise left handed, and it doesn't tell me anything that I haven't already read or seen. He did play pool left handed in "The Color of Money." You are correct. In "The Last Samarai" he also shoots a rifle left handed at the beginning of the movie, however, all throughout the movie, he uses a sword right handed. Plus he throws bottles around in "Cocktail" right handed, and in the Mission Impossible movies or other action movies, he still shoots pistols right handed. I've also just seen him throw right handed in general. He also uses a knife and eats using a fork or spoon right handed. I would say this makes him somewhat cross-dominant at most. Either that or he is left handed, makes a point of covering it up most of the time, and has a few slips here and there. Just because someone does something with his/her left hand doesn't automatically make him/her left handed. He may have shot pool and shot rifle left handed. This could be something that he took to doing because maybe he has a dominant left eye. Just look at how much he does right handed. It lists in interesting facts about him that he's right handed when writing but does most things left haded, but that is NOT true. You have to really search for anything that makes Tom Cruise left handed, but it's easy to find proof that he is right handed. This is almost like saying that since I turned on my light switch and opened a door with my left hand, I'm left handed now.
