It was a moment of minor inconvenience, a fleeting blip in the glamorous narrative of celebrity life.
Yet, little did Tom Cruise know that this seemingly trivial incident would seal his fate with Bugatti forever, as reported by Auto Evolution.
BUGATTI’S REPUTATION AND TOM
Bugatti, the epitome of automotive excellence, isn’t just about speed and style.
It’s about exclusivity and prestige.
With its stringent rules and regulations, Bugatti sets the bar high for its clientele.
Owning one of these marvels comes with a hefty price tag, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
THE PRICE RANGE
Bugatti owners are expected to pay $21,000 (R 400,222.62) annually for maintenance. The tyre changes are also mandated every 10,000 miles.
It’s a commitment, a testament to one’s dedication to the craft of luxury driving.
But Tom Cruise’s ban isn’t about the dollars spent or the tyres replaced.
It’s about that moment of struggle, frozen in time like a scene from his movies.
While Tom Cruise’s wife, Katie Holmes, gracefully navigated the red carpet, his battle with the stubborn car door became fodder for the gossip mills.
In the unforgiving world of celebrity scrutiny, even the smallest mishap can tarnish one’s image. Bugatti wasn’t willing to take any chances.
OTHER BANNED CELEBRITY’S
Yet, Tom Cruise isn’t alone in his automotive misfortunes.
Names like Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, Flo Rida, Simon Cowell, and Jenson Button are joining him in the league of banned Bugatti buyers.
It seems even the elite of the elite aren’t immune to the wrath of luxury car brands.
But fear not, for Cruise’s garage isn’t lacking in luxury.
LUXURY CARS
While a Bugatti may be off the table, he’s curated an impressive collection over the years.
From sleek BMWs to classic Chevrolets and the infamous Bugatti Veyron that started it all.
After all, in the realm of celebrity, diversity is key, and Tom Cruise knows just how to keep his automotive repertoire as eclectic as his filmography.
So, as Cruise navigates the twists and turns of Hollywood fame, his Bugatti ban stands as a reminder that even the biggest stars aren’t immune to life’s little hiccups.
