Representatives for Tom Cruise are infuriated pictures of the actor appearing as a fat, balding studio executive in his new movie have been leaked on the internet.
The star is currently filming Ben Stiller comedy Tropic Thunder alongside wife Katie Holmes and Jack Black - and is reported to be considering legal action over the shots.
In a statement, representatives for Cruise said, "Mr. Cruise's appearance was supposed to be a surprise for his fans worldwide. (Paparazzi) have ruined what should have been a fun discovery for moviegoers."
Cruise's co-star Black is equally upset the picture was leaked to the press.
He tells MTV news: "I can't believe it got leaked out. Could you tell it was him?
"He's not going to be very funny in this movie. It was supposed to be a secret, but there it is."
Owen Wilson was initially earmarked to appear in the project, but was forced to pull out after allegedly attempting suicide earlier this year.
