A South African disc jockey has pulled off one of the all-time great practical jokes this morning after tricking a top-rating breakfast radio duo into taking a fake call from Tom Cruise.
2Day FM spent $150,000 promoting an exclusive Cruise interview over the Australia Day long weekend and encouraged listeners to text questions to be asked of the superstar.
An elaborate audio segment preceded the much-hyped call but, instead of Cruise's trademark growl, Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O were met with a South African-accented voice that told them they had been pranked.
Darren "Whackhead" Simpson enacted the elaborate hoax after hearing that Kyle had mocked him during a broadcast in November.
