Tom Cruise's MTV choreographer revealedDarrin Dewitt Henson has a lot of people talking about his work, even if they don’t realize it. The actor - best known for playing Lem on the hit television show “Soul Food” - choreographed Tom Cruise’s now infamous dance performance as producer Les Grossman (his role from “Tropic Thunder”) on the recent MTV Movie Awards. Henson, a noted choreographer for stars like N'Sync and Christina Aguilera, said it took him about a month to teach Cruise those booty shaking moves.
“No one works harder than Tom,” Henson said, showing off a photo of him and Cruise on his cell phone. “The man is amazing.” Henson spoke with CNN in Miami on the red carpet for the film “Takers,” which opened the 14th annual American Black Film Festival. He’s starring in “The Inheritance,” a horror film with a black cast, which is also debuting at the festival. Henson said it was great to reunite with actress/singer/dancer Jennifer Lopez, who joined Cruise for his MTV moment. Henson and Lopez had worked together in the past and he said he was blown away by how much attention the performance has gotten. “People went crazy over it,” he said. “And Tom’s now got a movie deal out of it so I’d have to say it went well.”

I doubt he get the movie deal if it wasn't for Jennifer Lopez.
Please get your heads out of your rear-ends. Tyce Diorio was the choreographer behind Tom's MTV performance. Darrin just happened to be there as part of JLo's camp. Tom was just on Regis & Kelly talking about TYCE and what an amazing job he did.
Oh...and Darrin can say good-bye to his job with JLo. I heard she's using Tyce now as her choreographer.
Lisa Respers France...go back to journalism school and learn about FACT CHECKING!
thought it was a story about his back door entry boyfriend
What the hell is that thing on his head is he a pirate or sumtan?
Tom Cruise just does not have IT anymore. He should not be casted as the lead man. He messes up any movies that he is in it. On top of that he is plain CREEPY.
teach that idiot to jump off a bridge, you know who Im talking about the one who thinks he is a doctor of people who have mental disibilitys. Every time I see anything about Mr Dork, I point and laugh at what a idiot he is. He is washed up, h e no longer is the box office hit he once was, he will do anything now for attention. Including haveing his daughter dressing like a adult and exploiting her, Teach him how to respect other people he needs lots of lessons on that
back in the closet
Tom was on Regis and Kelly yesterday and he said Tyce choreographed the dance. Did anyone else see that? Not that I care who the choreographer was but when I clicked on this I thought I was going to read an article about Tyce D. and I love him on So You Think You Can Dance. I dont know this guy at all~
I hate neg comments; by stupid people:( I wonder what you look like? lol..
You hate negative comments by stupid people. Isn't that a negative comment in itself? Judging by your grammar, you aren't the smartest, either. Therefore, it's obvious that you're a hypocrite.
Really, calif guy? Seems like you are really protective of Tom Cruise. I am a damn fine young woman, thank you, and I am pretty sure, based on your comment, I know what team you're playin for? You and Tom are like two peas in a pod.
Anyone with this much hate in them for someone they don't even know and calls themselves a "damn fine young woman" - probably is anything but fine. Certainly no lady, anyway. Fat, ugly, and envious are words that come to mind instead.
UGH, why do celebrities like Tom Cruise go on MTV and do stupid crap just to make people think they're cool and not old? Tom Cruise is washed up and crazy as F@#$. I cannot even look at that man without wanting to vomit.
Wow. Scary, scary comment, TC Hater. Maybe you should get some help and talk about your rabid hatred for someone you've never met before you pack your gun and head out here to Hollywood wearing your army fatigues and driving your old Chevy Nova. Scary.
"Ain't no lie, bye bye bye" Remember that commercial?
Any way, I love Darrin and Soul Food is one of my all time favorite drama's...hate that they took it off.
And Tom was grooving!!
Poohy-OMG I thought I was the only one that thought that commercial was corny, LOL!!!
Les for Prez!
So who was the mastermind behind his jumping on Oprah's couch?
Well he did a great job & Tom did well –Keep your light shining, Darrin !!
