Did Tom Cruise reacted rightly.

I think he did.
"You're a jerk, you're a jerk"
Calm, tough guy attitude without losing his patience. Very appropriate.

It neither offends nor interests me. I'm just killing time waiting to phone in sick to work. It's a scorcher (80 F) in the UK and work are installing a new computer control system that is a pain in the arse!

--Wait just a second. My understanding is that this guy wasn't just a lone prankster. He's an employee of a British TV show that plays pranks on celebrity. Tom's going into an event, being courteous and giving interviews to the media, and this guy squirts him with a fake microphone.

That's a battery. And it was done to make money.

I say, sue the jerk and his TV station too!

Good bulletin board attitude.

I am sure many Brit men would happily exile their fugly
women to the American colonies. But we may have to
nuke you over the demands for money.

Battery? Come on. It was a small squirt of water. You know, the stuff of life? Was he scarred by this water? Did it somehow damage his clothing, despite it being just water?

Shows "make money" in this manner all the time. Punk'd, TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes, Candid Camera...

Sure, it wasn't particularly funny (that's Brit humor for you!), but hyperbolizing it into battery is ludicrous. The guy was a jerk, yes, but suing him over it just makes Cruise look like a grumpy spoilsport.

Me, I would have just shrugged it off with a chuckle and moved on. It's far more endearing to the public to be seen as a good sport about such things, especially since no real harm was done.
