Judd Apatow stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week, and told one of the funniest anecdotes the show has aired in recent memory. Apatow explained to Colbert that he had a meeting with Tom Cruise, who he considered a "nice man." "Just cause it's Mission: Impossible weekend, I did once have a meeting with Tom Cruise. He's a very, very nice man," began Apatow. He took a meeting with Cruise for a potential film, and the director brought along his good friend Seth Rogen.
"I said to Seth Rogen, 'I have a meeting with Tom Cruise. You have to come with me,'" he revealed. "And no one knew who Seth was. He wasn't famous so he was just a dude with me and so I said, 'Someone needs to witness this.'" At the time, Rogen and Apatow were working on Knocked Up.
"So we're talking to him, and I don't know how it came up, but it usually comes up with Seth where he's talking about marijuana and pornography," continued Apatow. By this point, he adopted a Tom Cruise impersonation. "And he starts talking about watching adult films on the internet and Tom Cruise goes, 'What? Wait, you're saying there's adult films on the internet?'"
"And Seth's like, 'Yeah, there's all these movies on these websites,'" Apatow said, also impersonating Rogen. "And Tom Cruise's like, 'Wait a second. You're saying if I go on the computer, on the world wide web, there are people having sex?'" He then switched back to his Rogen voice. "'Yeah, I watch it all the time. It's great. Everybody does it. It's not a big deal anymore.'' Catch the hilarious story at about the 7:00 mark.
