Former adult film star turned private dick (no pun intended) Paul Barresi was hired by Tom Cruise biographer Andrew Morton to dig up the dirt on kooky actor Tom Cruise for Morton’sJ January 2008 book Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography. (He claims he wasn’t investigating Tom for Morton’s biography. Yeah, whatever you say, buddy. That’s beside the point. No matter who you were investigating him for, you investigated him-that’s the point of this article. NEXT!) After ‘investigating’ Tom since 2001, Paul is refuting the gay rumors, claiming Cruise is 100% hetero. The detective is convinced fellow Scientologists started the rumors about Tom’s sexuality.

The fifty-nine year old tells In Touch Weekly:

“If you want to know what’s going on behind closed doors between celebrities, then Paul Barresi is the guy you go to.”

“Everything I’ve found, and everything I know, points to Tom being heterosexual.”

Paul says he interviewed two men who have claimed to have bumped booties with Tom Cruise:

“When I confronted them about it, one denied it and the other wanted half a million dollars. Neither was credible.”

“I believe the rumors about Tom being gay come from his detractors-most of whom are former Scientologists. Tom is the most famous Scientologist. Therefore, he is the biggest target.”
