    Tom Cruise’s Tropic Thunder alter ego Les Grossman was back with a bang last night, as he performed a hilarious hip hop routine with Jennifer Lopez

    Tom Cruise reprised his hilarious Tropic Thunder alter ego, Les Grossman, at the MTV Movie Awards last night, for a scene-stealing performance with Jennifer Lopez.

    Mr Cruise launched himself into the high-energy choreographed routine alongside Jen, who was performing her single, Get Right.

    Dressed in a barely-there sparkly mini dress and silver thigh-high boots, Jen wowed the crowds, while Tom, as Les Grossman opted for less than flattering high waisted tuxedo trousers and braces. Nice!

    Katie Holmes was spotted laughing and cheering from the front row as the pair shook their booty and had the audience in stitches.

    The dramatic routine ended when Tom gamely attempted (but didn't quite make) the splits.
