Washington, Dec 18 : Hollywood actor Tom Cruise has revealed that as a kid he truly hated Nazi leader Adolf Hitler - and wanted to kill him.

The `Vanilla Sky' actor, who plays World War II colonel leading a plot to assassinate the Nazi leader in the new flick `Valkyrie," revealed he used to pretend killing Hitler, while playing War games with kids.

"When I was a kid, I always wanted to kill Hitler. I didn''t care about religion or whatever. I hated that guy and everything he stood for. We played war games. There''s something about that time period, even as a little kid, when you''re looking at these documentaries," Contactmusic quoted Tom, as telling MTV.

Meanwhile, Tom and wife Katie Holmes are reportedly thinking of shifting their base to New York, as they are completely bowled over by the city.

"We love it here. The people are so warm and friendly," Tom said. (ANI)
