Connor Cruise Clarifies His Caitlyn Jenner Twitter Rant

What Tom Cruise's son now has to say about the ESPY Award winner

Is Connor Cruise changing his mind about Caitlyn Jenner?

Maybe not, but he definitely is defending his Twitter rant that he went on Wednesday that argued there are others more deserving of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at this year's ESPY Awards. Although his original tweets have since been deleted, he took to the social media platform to backup his thoughts.

"We just need to as a nation and a world get back to business and making everything a better place," he continued. "Way more about the problems the world needs to solve than about her guys."

Some of those problems, which he mentioned in his rant, included overfishing, overpopulation and war. He initially tweeted, "Really?? Winning the AA award for courage?? Ashton is gonna come out and yell PUNK'D."

"Don't get me wrong. Do what you feel like doing and don't let anyone stop you. But everyone is taking this way too seriously…There are so many more important things that should be talked about…And SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT PEOPLE that actually deserve an award."

Some fans agreed with Tom Cruise's 20-year-old son, arguing that college basketball star Lauren Hill who lost her battle against brain cancer earlier this year should've been a contender, or Dancing With the Stars alum Noah Galloway, the army veteran who lost his arm and leg to a roadside bomb in Iraq. But most agreed that Jenner should be the recipient.

Cruise went on, "Like the fact that we are overfishing and in 30 years there will be no more fish. Seems dumb but 85 percent of the worlds protein is fish. That's one of thousands of things that should be of a higher importance than what is currently being gone over…Or what about the fact that our planet is becoming less habitable on a daily basis. Yet the population is increasing at an alarming rate…Or the fact that we all can't even get a long on earth lol. We fight and kill each other. We have war and poverty. This needs to change."

Considering the overwhelming support for Jenner when she made her debut on Vanity Fair, it seems that the Internet determined her to be incredibly important and worthy of the award.  

(With the release of her Vanity Fair cover, Caitlyn has chosen to publicly identify as a woman and E! News will refer to her using female pronouns. In stories published prior to this date, Caitlyn was referred to as Bruce and male pronouns were used.)
