iluvbutts247, who beat us to the best Twitter handle ever, presents an important quandry in regards to Tom Cruise's butt. A clothed butt, but a juicy butt. A butt so roundthat it's been flagged as... debatable. Let's all muse together, shall we?

Eh hem. So, first off, a control we need to set:Tom Cruise is a living, breathing human, who changes with the ebb and flow off time as do the rest of us. Workout programs change, and squats are a viable way to beef up the booty. Nonetheless, here is his arse in 1983:

So, a great shape for sure. A nice handful of cheek, no doubt. But is it THIS bubbly???

After much deliberation, the internet thinks not.
