Cruise: Unpopular

Tom Cruise is even less popular than... Saddam Hussein.

The 'Mission Impossible' star was voted the person people would least like to go camping overnight with in a recent poll.

The actor took a massive 41 per cent of the vote in the survey, conducted by Stuff magazine, ahead of the Iraqi dictator.

It is not the only unwanted accolade Cruise has scooped in recent weeks.

The Hollywood heavyweight recently suffered the embarrassment of 'winning' a Razzie for his outrageous behaviour in 2005.

He was awarded the newly-created Most Tiresome Tabloid Target prize at the ceremony - which acknowledges the year's worst films and stars.

Cruise - who is engaged to pregnant actress Katie Holmes - was given the unwanted accolade for his embarrassing behaviour, which included the now infamous 'couch jumping' incident on the 'Oprah Winfrey Show', proposing to Holmes at the Eiffel Tower and his gushing pregnancy announcement.

Unsurprisingly, Cruise did not attend the ceremony to collect his award.
