Tom Cruise turned down a chance to try out his “Gangnam Style” dance skills, despite topping South Korean rapper Psy’s list of celebrities who should attempt the signature horse-riding dance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When asked last year which person he would most like to see “go Gangnam Style”, Psy named the “Mission Impossible” star as his first choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cruise, who was in Seoul to promote his new film, hailed Psy as “quite a sensation” but declined to follow the likes of UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon in imitating the singer’s dance moves.<\/p>\n

“He does it better than me,” Cruise told reporters during a press conference to promote his movie “Jack Reacher” which will be released in South Korea next week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’m very happy for his success. Everyone has really enjoyed it,” Cruise added.<\/p>\n

Psy made Internet history shortly before Christmas when his “Gangnam Style” video clocked more than one billion views on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Cruise was one of many celebrities around the world who took to social networks last year to promote Psy’s video as it became a viral sensation.<\/p>\n

“Think @Psy_oppa would make a good future co-star Gangnam Style?” the Hollywood star tweeted last September.<\/p>\n

We all know Tom Cruise doesn’t have a sense of humor. He would never dance like Psy! Remember this?:<\/strong>
