Cuba Gooding Jr: Tom Cruise Says He's Not Gay

Cuba Gooding Jr. has recalled a moment when he wanted the earth to swallow him up, when his dad asked Tom Cruise about his sexuality on the set of 'Jerry Maguire'.

The 44-year-old was in town for the Baftas, and he stopped by for an appearance on the Graham Norton show, where he revealed the embarrassing moment claiming that he very nearly passed out.

Recalling how his father, also called Cuba, met Tom on the set of the 1996 movie, he said: "He gave Tom Cruise a hug and said, 'I love you man. Now seriously, are you gay or not?' I almost fainted. And thought, please lord let me disappear. Tom just laughed and said 'no.'"

Cuba then decided that his dad couldn't come to the set anymore, but while it's been over 15 years since the movie came out - the actor admitted that people still shout the infamous line 'Show me the money!' at him.

"It doesnt go away. I get it all the time. I wish I had a wand that would make people disappear whenever they say it," he said. "Its hard especially when some drunk in a bar asks and finally you say it and he says, 'no, say it like you said it in the movie!'"

We think we might've actually fainted before laughing. Hard.
