What BBN said about it

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOn the thirteenth of October, E!

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNews reported that Joe Manganiello says in his new memoir, Bloodlines, that he lost the lead in Reacher, and he believes Tom Cruise blocked it.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's his belief. Thermometer's out. Vera, you're up.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHot take: this is a gift. Being blocked by Tom Cruise means a movie star thought of you at all.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's honestly just a really expensive ego check from someone with excellent bone structure.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNOT. It's a guess with a book deal.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMy hot take is that it's worse than that.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIf one famous man can quietly block a role, every job you ever lost was blocked by somebody. Your landlord. Your ex.

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorGary knows what he did, Vera. He's been doing it since two thousand fifteen.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHOT, but only because Gary sounds real. Here's mine. I think Tom Cruise once blocked my GPS from finding a Whole Foods.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThermometer says that's the hottest take of the night. I'm rating myself HOT.
