It was rare to see an A-list star take so much time talking with fans, signing autographs, and posing for photos. And all that “crowd time” certainly does present a challenge for security – namely one in particular, Cruise’s own private bodyguard. Never far from Tom’s side, Cruise’s personal bodyguard was seen – but rarely heard from in Toronto.

He seemed to know how to do his job very well – guarding Tom and making sure all is safe. But at the same time making it appear there isn’t a wall of intimidating security around Tom and fans get the opportunity to meet Cruise up-close.

It’s not like Tom’s bodyguard won’t tell you how it is. This video from New York a few weeks back shows Tom’s guy is certainly willing to get into it.

Cruise landed by private jet in Toronto and first stopped for a chat with George Stroumboulopoulos on CBC’s The Hour. Immediately following that interview – Cruise was whisked by an entourage of three black SUV’s to the Queen street studios of Toronto’s MuchMusic.

The remarkable thing about the MuchMusic appearance was how few fans made the trek to Queen St. There was really only a few handfuls of people waiting outside the street-front studio where Cruise was appearing. Sure it was cold out – but that never stopped fans before. Quite a difference of maybe ten years ago when a live appearance of Cruise on Queen St. would attract hundreds, maybe even thousands of fans.

But I guess thats the MuchMusic tv/web audience today – you pretty much need to be these guys to attract thousands of screaming fans to Queen St.
