Longtime Hollywood golden boy Tom Cruise is a little less golden now.

The Mission Impossible actor gave back his three Golden Globes to protest the awards shows organizer, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, according to reports on Monday.

Entertainment Tonight and Deadline were among the outlets to confirm that the Top Gun star returned the hardware amid mounting pressure on the HFPA as it confronts its stunning lack of diversity. A report revealing that none of the organizations 87 members were Black led NBC on Monday to cancel its planned 2022 broadcast of the show.

The HFPA promised reform, but that apparently wasnt enough for Cruise, whose publicist didnt immediately respond to HuffPosts request for comment.

The actor reportedly sent back his acting Golden Globes for Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire and Magnolia. He was nominated for Oscars for all three movies, but didnt win.
