NEW YORK: Tom Cruise is set to shock fans with his foul mouth in his new film Tropic Thunder. Hollywood.com reports Cruise plays an overweight balding executive in the comedy and will use “colourful language”. The film also stars Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr.

Stiller revealed, “We knew we were locked into an R-rating from the language in the beginning of the movie anyway, from all the war-movie dialogue. You just have to do that if you’re doing a war movie.

I think a lot of these studio guys talk like that. I know from personal experience. I have heard people in movie studios curse.”
