Tom Cruise has his trash guarded!

Washington: Hollywood actor Tom Cruise is reportedly so worried about people sifting through his trash to get his personal details, that he has appointed a guard to keep security of his trash.

A source revealed that the actor not only had his Scientology bodyguard take out the trash, but also made sure that the guard remained next to it till the garbage truck came around to collect it.

"One of his Scientology bodyguards takes out his rubbish. It's funny to watch a beefy guy keeping watch over a bag of garbage until it's picked up," Contactmusic quoted the source, as telling British newspaper The Sunday Express.

Cruise who is upbeat about his recently acquired fatherhood is said to be superstitious and finicky at times.
