Cruise pal spills beans

TOM Cruise — who has sued two publications and a porn star for claiming he was gay — has corroboration that he is heterosexual: from beyond the grave.

In the posthumous biography of Johnny Fratto, “Now That I’m Dead: Here’s the Real Dirt,” written by Mafia historian Matthew Randazzo V, the con artist and art forger reveals that he coached Cruise (inset) during the 1985 filming of “The Color of Money.”

“I can vouch from firsthand experience that Tom Cruise is not a homosexual,” Fratto, who died in 2015, states.

Cruise was playing a pool hustler being mentored by “Fast Eddie” Felson (Paul Newman) in the Martin Scorsese film. “Cruise took a liking to me . . . maybe he got off on my real-life stories of hustling in the underworld that made his script look dry and uninspired by comparison,” Fratto said. In the book, Fratto describes how Cruise entered the Faces nightclub in Chicago one night and put his arms around “two smoking hot party girls from Des Moines.” “‘What’s going on, ladies?’ he asked with that mischievous superstar smile that made that f - - ker millions of dollars . . . I had never seen women actually swoon in real life . . . these bitches swooned.” “If there was anything gay about Tom Cruise, I sure as f - - k didn’t see it, and neither did the girls from Des Moines,” Fratto said.

The middle son of Al Capone’s apprentice, Luigi Fratto, also tells of his encounters with Oprah Winfrey, Paris Hilton, Frank Sinatra and Rocky Marciano.
