The movie icon reportedly turned down an award from the Kennedy Center, which would have been presented to him by President Trump.

Actor Tom Cruise was offered the honors but declined because of scheduling conflicts, according to several current and former Kennedy Center employees who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss event plans. A spokesperson for Cruise declined to comment.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he would host this year's Kennedy Center Honors ceremony, his latest move to revamp the Washington, D.C., cultural institution in his image.
