Here’s Seth MacFarlane And Tom Cruise Doing Impressions Of Beloved Children’s Characters

Graham Norton had Seth MacFarlane , Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise on to promote their Summer movie pile of western sh*t jokes and headshots . During the interview, the focus turns to MacFarlane’s work on Family Guy and his numerous voices, leading us down a road where everyone tries their best impression.

Shockingly enough, Tom Cruise wins the day. Mostly because I didn’t expect Tom Cruise to take part in the fun. If anything, I expected Tom Cruise to jump up onto the couch, roundhouse MacFarlene, and then attempt to woo Theron and Blunt into joining his cult wholly legitimate religious belief system.

Watch Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise Do Charming Impressions of Each Other

This week on The Graham Norton Show , Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt shared a couch with Charlize Theron and Seth MacFarlane in order to promote The Edge of Tomorrow and A Million Ways to Die in the West , respectively. As you would expect, MacFarlane is called upon to do some of his popular impressions and characters from his show Family Guy . But he wasn’t the only one. Both Blunt and Cruise are cajoled into doing rather inaccurate but charming impressions of each other at around the 4:10 mark in the video. However, Cruise follows up his Mary Poppins-esque Blunt, with a bang-on Donald Duck impersonation. It could all be an act, but Cruise seems so endearingly reticent and genuinely overjoyed by MacFarlane doing Taken as Kermit the Frog that it makes you both want to love Cruise without the shadow of other doubts, and wonder if the internet really did kill our last real movie star .

Further details

Tom Cruise , talking about his new film Edge of Tomorrow , says: "It's a totally different character. I've never played a coward before but dying over and over again becomes a lot of fun as you try and work out different ways to die - it was like playing Wile E Coyote. The deaths became funny and I worked for a year on all the different screams!"

He reveals becoming an actor wasn't the first time he'd tried dangerous stunts, "I saw Evel Knievel jumping off a canyon and I lived on a steep hill so set up boards and trash cans to copy him. I was about eight years old and my sisters begged me not to do it, as I had been the hospital a few times by this point. I realised half way down the hill that I couldn't stop and it was too late to bail - I was committed and I thought I'm going to go so far and so high but of course the boards split and I ended up just pile-driving through the cans. It was violent and there was blood everywhere. My sisters were standing over me with no sympathy, just, 'We told you. You're in so much trouble.' My poor mother! She was very patient."

Confirming there will be a Mission Impossible 5 , Tom says, "We are working on that right now," and reveals, "We will be shooting it here in London. We love it here."

Reluctant to be drawn on a sequel for Top Gun , he says, "I don't know. People have been talking about it but it's no closer to being true, but we have been talking about coming up with a story and a script - we'll see."

Emily Blunt , revealing she was overwhelmed by Tom, says "When I first started working with him I kept saying, 'Oh my god, it's you!' Then the illusion kind of wears off."

On getting into shape for her role, she says, "It was really physical but it was cool training. I did all kind of stuff. Sprinting, weight training, yoga and Krav Maga, the Israeli martial art - it's pretty aggressive."

Talking about being pregnant during filming, she says, "For some additional photography I was pregnant but it was still early and I wasn't really telling anyone. So Tom was confused as to why I wasn't engaging with all the stunts, as I was game when we did them originally. So I told him I was growing a human. He was so cute about it and protected me - he almost went overboard on helping me. In the end I had to say, 'Tom. I'm fine, I can do stairs!'"

Charlize Theron , talking about her first movie, Children of the Corn III , says "I was an extra and I only had to run through a field and scream. I had to bring my own clothes. I was living from hand to mouth and had a brand new pair of Pumas and was really chuffed with myself and thought, 'I'm in a movie, I'll wear my new shoes,' and I got there and they just doused us in blood, which went all over my new sneakers. I was really upset about it, but not as upset as when I went to see the movie and they had dubbed my scream and I was like, 'Oh my god am I that bad?"

Seth MacFarlane , talking about his first non-animated screen kiss - with Charlize in their new movie A Million Ways to Die in the West , says "I was okay with it. I was a little afraid I would look a little goldfishy! But it was alright." With mock annoyance, Charlize interjects, "It was just 'alright.' Really?"

Talking about the success of Ted , Seth confirms Ted 2 is on the cards, "It will be happening in 2015. We are writing it as we speak," before performing Ted's Thunder Song to the delight of Graham and his audience.

Asked by Tom how many voices he can actually do, Seth says, "Just enough to avoid being myself," before indulging Graham by doing several voices from Family Guy and Liam Neeson 's phone call from Taken in the voice of Kermit the Frog.

Coldplay perform A Sky Full of Stars , before Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland join Graham for a chat about the success of their new album. Asked if it's true it's #1 in 70 countries, Chris says, "I can tell you where we are not number one. Cambodia, Mongolia, The Bahamas and Burkina Faso, and it's number three in Kehjistan!"

Asked if they would be touring soon there was an emphatic 'No' from both members of the band.

Jonny, asked if he gets recognised, says "I was this morning but my first reaction is aggression, like, 'How do you know my name?'"

On whether other band members are recognised, Chris talks about the Grammys when Jonny and Will won an award, "They were back stage and a woman came up to them and asked if we were doing the catering!"

Seth MacFarlane and Tom Cruise (Yes, Tom Cruise) Deliver Top-Notch Impressions on Graham Norton

By Dustin Rowles | Videos | May 31, 2014 |

Over on The Graham Norton Show this week, Tom Cruise and Seth MacFarlane were on promoting their respective movies ( A Million Ways to Die in the West and The Edge of Tomorrow ), and both ended up doing impersonations. The first three minutes of the clip are mostly MacFarlane running through his animated characters (and their inspirations).

Once you get exhausted with that, however (it should take about 30 seconds), Emily Blunt does a short, amusing impression of Tom Cruise (at 4:10), and then after he busts out a short impression of Blunt, Tom Cruise cracks out his Donald Duck (at 4:45) which is surprisingly delightful.

MacFarlane then wraps it up with a pretty great impression of Kermit the Frog delivering Liam Neeson’s Taken speech, which I hate to admit I rather enjoyed.

The Family Guy creator, 50, has never been married, but he is reported to have had connections with over 20 women in the industry, some full-on relationships and some just rumored flings. 

Let's take a look at exactly what the funny guy has gotten up to during his 30-year tenure in Hollywood…

Seth and Game of Thrones star  Emilia Clarke reportedly dated from 2012-2013. Three years after their assumed break-up, Emilia finally opened up about their relationship and the cons of dating someone in the public eye.

In a 2016 interview with Glamour , the Khaleesi actress confessed:, "Well, a con is you have strangers giving you love-life advice like, 'I'm a big fan of the show, and I'm not sure what you're doing with that guy,' which I didn't react well to," she explained. "That happened in New York when Seth and I were together. This guy started to give me advice: 'Can I get a selfie? And by the way…' Unh-unh, bro.'"

Why Charlize Theron Says She'll Remember Seth MacFarlane on Her 'Deathbed'

The costars – and close friends – talk to PEOPLE about their new comedy, A Million Ways to Die in the West

Despite her recent guest-hosting gig on Saturday Night Live , Oscar winner Charlize Theron is not known for her way with a punchline.

But her good friend, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane , was eager to showcase the actress’s comic side.

The pair team up in the comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West , out May 30.

“The most flattering thing you could say to me is that I could be a match to him,” Theron, 38, tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “I am a huge fan and have been for many, many years.”

“He’s definitely the kind of person that from afar fascinates me. Then you have this opportunity to know someone, and when they don’t let you down, that’s such a gift. The thing you remember when you’re 80 and lying on your deathbed is that. I’ll remember the friendship and working with Seth on this movie.”

MacFarlane, 40, says of their bond, “We had said ‘Hi’ here and there. But it was so quickly into the process, I felt like she was someone I’d been working with my entire life. I really felt like I made a lifelong friend.”

Inside Tom Cruise's Peculiar Reaction To Seth MacFarlane After Being Ruthlessly Parodied On Family Guy

• Tom Cruise laughed off Family Guy's harsh parody, praising Seth MacFarlane's comedic talent.
• Despite South Park's controversial portrayal of him, Cruise backlash resulted in halting subsequent episode reruns.
• Tom Cruise rejected a role on The Simpsons, leaving fans to wonder if he disdained being parodied.

Tom Cruise is one of the most famous stars in the world. In his decades-plus career making some of the most iconic films ever, Cruise has been publicly parodied numerous times. This includes a brutal satirization by Seth MacFarlane on Family Guy.

During a joint interview on The Graham Norton Show, Cruise had the chance to confront MacFarlane about his parody. In this article, we will take a look at just how Tom Cruise responded when he came face to face with Seth MacFarlane, as well as Cruise's response to being satirized on South Park and The Simpsons.

How Did Tom Cruise Respond To Seth MacFarlane After He Roasted Him On Family Guy?

Tom Cruise faced one of his most pointed parodies in an episode of Family Guy that depicted him as a tiny, homosexual kidnapper. While Cruise has been the butt of many jokes, this Family Guy bit was easily one of the most pointed. But unlike many celebrities who have been satirized on the Fox show, Cruise got a chance to look the creator in the eye.

Alongside his Edge of Tomorrow co-star, Emily Blunt , Tom Cruise sat with Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane on The Graham Norton Show.

Sitting alongside Cruise and Blunt were other A-list celebrities, Charlize Theron and Seth MacFarlane, who were there to promote their movie A Million Ways to Die in the West. During one particular segment, the show's host brought up Family Guy. This gave Cruise the perfect opportunity to confront the man responsible for his brutal parody. But he didn't take it...

One might suspect that Tom Cruise (known for his short temper when he feels disrespected, for example, the time he lost his temper when someone touched him ) would have harbored some form of animosity towards Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane for his constant jokes about him. But surprisingly, there was nothing but love between the two stars.

During another segment on the Graham Norton Show, Norton brought up the topic of voice impressions, for which McFarlane is famous. Not to be outdone, Cruise started by revealing his near-perfect interpretation of Donald Duck, which left the host, the guest, and the audience in a fit of laughter.

Why Twitter Hasn't Canceled Family Guy, According To Seth MacFarlane

Seth MacFarlane later mimicked Kermit the Frog as he recited a monologue from the film Taken. At that point, Tom Cruise laughed hysterically at McFarlane 's spot-on interpretation of the fictional character. The Vanilla Sky actor commended Seth MacFarlane on his superior voicing skills, adding that he was a "funny guy."

Tom Cruise Was Livid After South Park Parodied Him During An Episode

Family Guy isn't the only animated series that made fun of Tom Cruise. The actor also infamously appeared in a 2005 episode of South Park. The episode in question, titled 'Trapped in the Closet', portrayed Tom Cruise as a homosexual man who was hiding in a closet . The episode also made fun of his Scientology beliefs .

According to a report in Indie Wire , the South Park episode was written using the consultation services of author Mark Ebner, who wrote a book entitled "Hollywood, Interrupted," a criticism of Scientology.

Leah Remini Revealed On Real Time With Bill Maher That Tom Cruise Doesn't Follow Every Rule With Scientology

Due to the graphic nature of the South Park episode, Tom Cruise threatened not to do a promotional tour for his film Mission: Impossible III due to the fact that Paramount Pictures ' parent company, Viacom, had been responsible for re-running the South Park episode on Comedy Central.

Although Paramount and Viacom agreed to cease subsequent re-running of the South Park episode and justly complied, a report in Fox News noted that Paramount Pictures' later signed a deal with South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone for additional movies.

Tom Cruise Flat Out Rejected A Voice-Over Role in The Simpsons

In Season 4 of the widely popular animated series The Simpsons, Tom Cruise was parodied in an episode entitled "Brother From The Same Planet."

In the episode, Homer Simpson and his son Bart are at odds because of the latter's sudden popularity. Due to their rift, Bart applied for a surrogate father via a Big Brother program and was assigned a military pilot specialist known as Tom, with whom Homer Simpson later engaged in a fight.

Tom's voice was spoken by the late actor Phil Hartman , who had voiced many characters on The Simpsons since its inception.

The Simpsons Recruited Lady Gaga To Guest Star But The Result Was A Complete Nightmare

While the Tom character was a reference to Tom Cruise in his role in the film Top Gun: Maverick, the actor would have been an obvious choice to speak in the role. In fact, many celebrities on The Simpsons have been voiced by many stars, playing themselves, in the past.

According to a report in the editorial Screen Rant , The Simpsons producers initially approached Tom Cruise to voice the character of Tom. However, Cruise declined the opportunity seemingly without reason. But many fans have since debated whether the actor was too busy to take on the role or just disdained the idea of being parodied.

Seth MacFarlane Answers the Web's Most Searched Questions

Released on 05/24/2022

Hi, I'm Seth Macfarlane.

And this is the Wired Autocomplete Interview.

[light comical music]

I'm from New England.

We only respond to negative criticism.

If you wanna [beep] me, I'm here.

Did Seth Macfarlane work on 'Johnny Bravo?'

I did work on Johnny Bravo.

That was actually where I got my start

at Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network.

I was a writer and part-time storyboard artist

for Johnny Bravo for Season 1.

And then, they fired us all and got some new guys,

and, you know, that's when the show went south.

Did Seth Macfarlane draw 'Family Guy?'

I did way back when.

My major was Animation in school,

so I designed the characters.

I think it's safe to say they were improved

by other more talented artists,

but the initial designs were mine.

Did Seth Macfarlane leave 'Family guy?'

Stepped away around 2011 or so,

when I started doing Ted

and that was when I kind of handed it off

to the show runners who've been running it ever since.

Yeah, these days, I do voiceover on Family Guy,

but that's really about it.

Did Seth Macfarlane sing in 'Sing?'

Same word, both a verb and a noun.

Actually, yeah, I did.

I sang My Way and a couple of other Sinatra tunes

for the fabulous motion picture, Sing.

Did Seth Macfarlane make 'The Simpsons?'

I fuckin' wish. No, I did not make The Simpsons.

I have a lot of very good friends at The Simpsons,

Matt Groening is a friend and Al Jean,

and Mike Reiss, and Mike Scully.

And those guys, [clears throat]

that was [clears throat] actually legitimate throat clear.

I wasn't trying to undercut what I just said.

The Simpsons definitely had an influence on my work.

And I think on the work of every animated show

that came afterwards, they rewrote the rule book.

So, no, I did not, but hopefully, you still like me.

What does Seth Macfarlane look like?

What are you a fuckin' idiot? [laughs]

What blank Seth Macfarlane blank?

This is like I'm on the Match Game here.

Know what that is kids?

Know what the Match Game is?

Gene Rayburn, nothing?

What voices does Seth Macfarlane do?

I know what you're asking

and I'll bark like a seal for you.

I do Peter. I do Stewie.

I do Brian, and I do Quagmire.

So those are the voices that I do

for, and Stan, and Roger.

What is Seth Macfarlane working on now?

I am working on The Orville, which premieres June 2nd.

And I'm also working on Ted,

which is a television series for Peacock based on the films.

The movie, Ted, I don't know if Ted is a film.

It's a movie.

What awards has Seth Macfarlane won?

Softball questions.

Yeah, a handful of Emmys, like the Man-Show awards.

Right, no, the Spike TV awards.

One of those dude channels that used to be around.

I got something from them that had antlers on it.

That's still in my house.

What movies did Seth Macfarlane direct?

Directed three movies, Ted, Ted 2,

and A Million Ways to Die in The West,

which is a very concise title

that if I had to do over again,

I would listen to the executives

and come up with something shorter.

Yeah, that's that's those questions.

Who was Seth Macfarlane on 'Gilmore Girls?'

I think I was a graduating college student.

I was [laughs] literally, just taking,

taking shots at Lorelai Gilmore.

And then. I think my sister and I sang

a rendition of Michael, Row The Boat Ashore.

I think that was the extent of my Gilmore Girls tenure.

I was friends with Amy Palladino and Dan Palladino.

So, it was a little bit of nepotism.

Dan Palladino used to run Family Guy with me,

and so, when he left to go do Gilmore Girls,

he took me with him, I guess.

What college did Seth Macfarlane go to?

Attend, you also could have said.

I went to the Rhode Island School of Design, superb school.

They trained me to make Family Guy,

which I'm sure, you know, they regret at this stage,

but, yeah, loved RISDI, loved my experience.

Great place, highly recommended.

Why does Seth Macfarlane hate Tucson?

It's not Tucson that I hate.

It's it's all [laughs] of Arizona.

Does Seth Macfarlane own Hulu?

I do not own Hulu.

I have a subscription to Hulu.

If things keep going better,

I'm gonna get the one without the commercials.

Has Seth Macfarlane been on Broadway?

I have not been on Broadway.

No, I remember years ago getting offer

to come to Spamalot,

but I was too busy making Family Guy

and as attractive as that offer was,

the timing didn't work out.

But it's not out of the realm of possibility.

I'm certainly open to it.

Why did Seth Macfarlane make 'American Dad?'

Because Family Guy got canceled in 2002, or thereabouts.

Created American Dad and then of course,

Family Guy came back.

It was never my intention to have two animated shows

on the air at the same time.

And I figured, Well, it's all right.

One of them will die, eventually.

And here we are years later [laughs]

and they're both still kickin'.

Is Seth Macfarlane nice?

I guess it depends on the hour of the day.

It's very early right now,

but generally, I try to be kind.

Is Seth Macfarlane vegan?

I'm trying to phase out of meat.

There's a Taco Bell late night now and then,

that kind of disrupts things.

But in general, I'd say that's probably where I'm headed.

Is Seth Macfarlane's friends with Mila Kunis?

We better be because she works for me.

So, [chuckles] this would not be good,

but yeah, no, she's a good egg. We're close.

Is Seth Macfarlane friends with Ryan Reynolds?

Yeah, I'm also friends with Ryan Reynolds.

Yeah, these are like really,

you guys could be digging a lot deeper.

This is the next one.

When did Seth Macfarlane host SNL?

I think it was what? 2013?

Does that sound about right? 2013?

It was before Ted?

No, it was after Ted.

Yeah, after Ted, so 2013.

I think the musical guest was Frank Ocean that night.

When did Seth Macfarlane become famous?

Right now. Like right here, now.

Because of this Wired Autocomplete Interview,

I'm now officially famous.

When did Seth Macfarlane start singing?

I've been singing since I was a little kid.

I was in a church choir if you can believe that.

I think probably, from the age of five years old,

I was singing.

When does, So, we're going to the Present Tense now.

When does 'The Orville' take place?

The Orville takes place in the 25th century.

I think our pilot was 2417, was the date.

So, yeah. There you go.

How is Seth Macfarlane?

Oh, you're asking how I am?

[Staff] Yeah. How are you?

I'm fine, I'm alright.

How did Seth Macfarlane get his start?

I got my start at Hanna-Barbera,

which was the very famous cartoon studio

that did Scooby Doo, The Flintstones,

The Jetsons, did a little bit

of work on the show called, Dexter's Lab,

before I got my real break running

Ace Ventura, The Animated Series.

How did Seth Macfarlane get Charlize Theron to,

Let's just leave this one.

I don't know what's under there.

Oh, to be on 'The Orville?'

Oh, well, that's that puts a different paint job on this.

Charlize and I are very close.

We're very, very good friends.

And it just, I rolled the dice

that maybe she was just as cool

as I thought she was and turned out she was.

How does Seth Macfarlane know Patrick Stewart?

I was a fan of Patrick Stewart for many years,

but I don't remember exactly how I met him.

I had a couple of friends who wrote for Star Trek.

I think I may have met him that way.

I don't remember how it came about, I guess,

I guess we, I dunno,

we have the same accountant or something?

I don't, it doesn't, it's gone.

It's gone.

Seth Macfarlane, full name.

Seth Woodbury Macfarlane.

Seth Macfarlane, 'William Shatner' impression?

Seth Macfarlane, 'William Shatner' impression.

Seth Macfarlane, favorite movie.

The Sound of Music. Can you believe that?

Who would've thought? The Sound of mother fuckin' Music.

Seth Macfarlane, shoe size?

11 and a half is probably where it averages out.

You know, there's a couple of brands

where it's been like a 12.

Seth Macfarlane is a genius.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. [laughs]

Hardly. I'm from New England.

So this is positive, so it does nothing for me.

If you wanna shit on me, I'm here.

That's it. Okay.

What do I think about these searches?

I think they're hugely imaginative.

I do wish I owned Hulu.

Yeah, I do wish I owned Hulu.

Seth MacFarlane

Seth MacFarlane is an American actor, comedian, producer, writer and musician. He is best known for creating the popular animated sitcoms Family Guy , American Dad! , and The Cleveland Show . In 2012 MacFarlane made his movie director debut with the comedy Ted . In 2013 he hosted the 85th Annual Academy Awards. The fall of 2017 saw the debut of his sci-fi comedy The Orville .

Seth MacFarlane Religious Beliefs

Seth is an atheist. He has been vocal with the media about not believing in God and in advocating his athiesm. “We have to. Because of all the mysticism and stuff that’s gotten so popular,” MacFarlane said (1). “It’s like the civil-rights movement. There have to be people who are vocal about the advancement of knowledge over faith.”

Seth MacFarlane Gay Rights

MacFarlane is a strong supporter of LGBTQ rights. He has spoken about the need for greater acceptance of homosexuals in general, saying, “I’m incredibly passionate about my support for the gay community and what they’re dealing with at this current point in time.”

Many episodes of Family Guy and American Dad! have addressed gay subject matter head on, both for laughs and to bring more awareness to different lifestyles.

However, MacFarlane’s humor has sometimes offended gay rights groups. In 2010 an episode of Family Guy titled “Quagmire’s Dad”, which featured a transgender character, drew the ire of GLAAD. The organization felt that several of the episode’s jokes cast transgender people in a poor light, even going so far to label the humor as “incredibly offensive.” (2)

Seth MacFarlane Political Views

MacFarlane is a liberal and sides with the Democratic party. He has donated over $200,000 to the 2008 election campaign of Barack Obama. In the 2016 democratic primary race Seth endorsed candidate Bernie Sanders. When Sanders was knocked out of the running, MacFarlane threw his support behind Hillary Clinton.

He also believes in the legalization of marijuana:

Seth MacFarlane Dating & Relationships

While he seems to be a perpetual bachelor in his mid-thirties, MacFarlane claims that he “dates as much as the next guy.”

In 2012 Seth struck up a romantic relationship with Game of Thrones cast member Emilia Clarke. The two were a couple for six months before calling it quits, though they still remain friends.

Seth has a younger sister, Rachael, who is also a voice actress and writer.

Seth MacFarlane Close Call

On the morning of September 11, 2001, MacFarlane was scheduled to fly from Boston to Los Angeles. His flight was American Airlines Flight 11. After a late night, MacFarlane was late to the airport and missed boarding his plane by ten minutes.

Shortly after arriving at the airport, Flight 11 was hijacked by the 9/11 terrorists. MacFarlane had rented a car and begun driving across the country when the world learned of the terror attacks in New York City and Washington. Several people thought that he had boarded his flight and was onboard the aircraft when it flew into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

“The only reason it hasn’t really affected me as it maybe could have is I didn’t really know that I was in any danger until after it was over, so I never had that panic moment,” Seth has said about his near-miss.

“After the fact it was sobering but people have a lot of close calls; you’re crossing the street and you almost get hit by a car….this one just happened to be related to something massive. I really can’t let it affect me because I’m a comedy writer. I have to put that in the back of my head.” (3)

Miscellaneous Trivia

• Seth is a big fan of Star Trek , particularly The Next Generation . He starred in an episode of Star Trek Enterprise .
• A lover of musicals and song, Frank Sinatra was an important influence on this side of Seth’s talent.
• In 2014 he produced a new version of Cosmos , the science program created by Carl Sagan.

Mayim Bialiks Rise On The Big Bang Theory Caused CBS To Fire A Forgotten Guest Star

Why seinfeld season 10 never happened, despite a $110 million offer, the conners affirms how badly johnny galecki's character was treated on roseanne.

Family Guys has a long history with acclaimed actor James Woods. And there's no doubt that James' voice-over work on Seth McFarlane's hit Fox animated show is ranked among his most profitable roles . Of course, James has been a prolific actor in Hollywood for decades and has earned himself two Academy Award nominations. But even this wasn't enough to stop Hollywood from canceling him .

When Hollywood cancels a celebrity, that means almost every individual show and movie does the same. And that's precisely what happened with Seth McFarlane's Family Guy. While James was present in eight episodes of the show, as well as had the high school name after him, his time with the show came to an end in 2016. Here's why...

The Many Reasons Why Family Guy And Hollywood Had Enough With James Woods

Seth MacFarlane and the team at Family Guy were pretty smart by letting James Woods go in 2016. After all, it took two more years for the public to do the same. In 2018, everything changed for James Woods. He was booted off of Twitter for the first time ( this happened again in 2020 ). But, more importantly, his high-profile agent quit representing him . Ultimately, this is because of a mixture of his vocal criticisms of cancel culture, some inappropriate and offensive comments, and his Republican views. Specifically, his desire to get former President Donald Trump reelected.

Related: James Woods And Other Right-Wing Celebrities Trending On Twitter Has Users Believing It's A Concerning 'National Holiday'

Around the same time, Blade Runner actor Sean Young credited James as the arbiter of her blacklisting.

"He actually was successful in destroying my studio career," Sean Young explained to The Hollywood Reporter. "I remember, I got hired by an agent and he grilled me for an hour about James Woods, and I was like, 'Oh, f***.' So I have to walk in every time now and explain why I'm not crazy? I don't see this guy having to explain anything, so what the f*** is your problem?"

On top of this, James took to Twitter to claim that he hadn't made his mind up on the Q-Anon conspiracy theory, seemingly giving it legitimacy.

Of course, none of this was entirely surprising as James Woods has made no secret of his positions over the years and has made some comments that have offended a lot of people.

All of this has led to the full blacklisting of James Woods in Hollywood and... on Family Guy. To be fair, James has not been silent on this issue, claiming that he stands behind his right to freedom of speech and his fear that private corporations and, more importantly, the government are overreaching when it comes to culling aspects of the 1st Amendment.

How Family Guy's Seth McFarlane Fired James Woods And Why

If you know anything about Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane it's that his belief system is the opposite of James Woods'. While this was something that Seth would've known when he hired him, all of James' public antics online and in-person eventually pushed Seth to make the choice to go separate ways.

James Wood's involvement with Family Guy stems back to the earliest days of the show thanks to his name being used for Quahog's high school. But James made his first appearance on the show in 2005's "Peter's Got Woods". In the Season Four episode, Peter Griffin and James become friends. In fact, Peter is so happy to be friends with James that he sings what has now become one of the most famous songs in all of Family Guy's history.

However, Peter eventually becomes so annoyed with James that he traps him, locks him in a wooden crate, and hides him in Area 51 ala Raiders of the Lost Ark. But this wasn't the last time we see or hear from James.

Related: Surprising Facts About James Woods' Role In 'Family Guy'

In fact, between 2005 and 2016, James was featured in eight episodes of Family Guy. This includes the episode where James steals Peter's identity, the Simpsons crossover episode, and the episode where he invites the main characters to his remote mansion and is subsequently murdered by newswoman Diane Simmons.

His final episode of Family Guy was in 2016 just prior to the election where he publically supported Donald Trump.

While Seth has never publicly commented on why he never hired James Woods since then, he did address the issue through his characters.

In season 17, after Adam West's real-life death, the characters on the show decide to honor the former Batman star by renaming James Woods High School as Adam West High School. When asked why, Brain says, "James Woods is an embarrassment to Quahog. He's a political troll and a maniac on Twitter."

Without a doubt, this choice was totally in line with how Seth McFarlane addresses controversies like this. And while it wasn't exactly up-front about what went on behind the scenes at Family Guy, it definitely revealed why the show canceled James Woods.

Tom cruise and nicole kidman’s son connor, 29, gives rare glimpse into his private life with friends.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s son, Connor Cruise, gave a rare glimpse into his personal life as he celebrated his close pals’ birthdays.

The 29-year-old took to his Instagram Story Saturday to share a photo with his friends on a boat after they caught a gigantic fish.

Connor smiled while holding onto the big catch while his buddies wrapped their arms around each other.

Another snap showed the DJ flashing a thumbs-up as he posed with his friend, who was holding a French bulldog, in front of the ocean.

At the time, the “Top Gun” star was photographed beaming while Connor put on a calm face following the aerial outing.

Connor also made a rare public appearance with the actor for a “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning” promo event in New York City in July 2023.

Tom and Nicole, who were married from 1990 to 2001 , adopted Isabella and Connor in 1992 and 1995, respectively.

While the former couple has respected their kids’ decision to live a low-profile life, Kidman opened up about her relationship with the two during an interview with Australia’s Who magazine in 2018.

“I’m very private about all that. I have to protect all those relationships. I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is,” she said.

The “Big Little Lies” star noted that her children followed in their father’s footsteps to become Scientologists while she exited the church in the ’90s.

“They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it’s my job to love them,” she explained, adding that she’s “available” to “always offer unconditional love” to her kids.

Kidman also shares daughters Sunday Rose , 16, and Faith Margaret, 13, with husband Keith Urban, whom she wed in 2006.

As for Tom, he shares 18-year-old daughter Suri Cruise  with ex-wife Katie Holmes.

The “Jerry Maguire” star has been estranged from Suri following his split from Holmes in 2012 after six years of marriage.
