Porn star denies saying Tom Cruise is gay

The porn star who is being sued by Tom Cruise over allegations of a gay affair has denied ever making the claims.

Cruise has launched a $100m lawsuit against erotic wrestler Chad Slater, who is also known as Kyle Bradford.

International magazine Actustar published a story saying Slater claimed he had a gay affair with Cruise before the actor's marriage to Nicole Kidman broke-up.

But Slater has now released a statement saying: "Regarding the news everyone has been reading. I have never been to France, I have never spoken with Actustar Magazine, and have never said any of the statements allegedly said by me.

"The things being reported internationally are totally untrue and very hurtful to all parties."
