Cruise on TV to ask woman to marry her boyfriend
Tom Cruise has appeared on Portuguese television to ask a woman to marry her boyfriend.
Cruise asked the factory worker, named only as Sonia, to marry cameraman Joao Martins.
He'd filmed the actor at the Spanish premiere of The Last Samurai.
In a clip shown on state channel RTP, Cruise said: "Sonia, you have to marry Joao. Please marry Joao. He is crying behind the camera."
His girlfriend accepted the proposal, according to media reports. Martins, who works for RTP, was on the phone to his girlfriend when the marriage proposal was aired.
Cruise also joked in the footage they should name their children after him, says BBC News Online. The couple plan to wed later in the year.
The cameraman said he was amazed when Cruise agreed to his request to deliver the proposal. "All my girlfriend asked for was that I get his autograph," he said.
