Tom Cruise Promotes “Valkyrie” in Seoul, Korea

sipaphotostwo261648-KOREA-VALKYRIE-tom-cruise

Tom Cruise, film director Bryan Singer, and writer and producer Christopher McQuarrie attended a red carpet event for their new movie "Valkyrie" at the COEX Megabox Cinema in Seoul on January 18, 2009. It’s been 7 years since Tom has visited Seoul and he has quite the fan base there.

Tom and Bryan are reportedly staying for three days in Seoul and Korea is the only Asian country they will visit during their world tour.

Fans lined the red carpet at the premiere and were going nuts trying to get pictures, autographs, a handshake or whatever they could from Tom. The whole scene looked incredibly overwhelming.

There’s an interesting interview that Tom Cruise did with the press in Seoul, which is taking the internet by storm. Here’s the quote everyone is talking about:

"I always wanted to kill Hitler, I hated him," Cruise told the press.

"As a child studying history and looking at documents, I wondered, why didn’t someone stand up and try to stop it? When I read the script, it was entertaining and informative to know what the challenges were and what it was like to be in the environment.”

Here are a ton more pictures from the red carpet premiere in Seoul.
