UPDATE: One day after Samantha expressed concern for his safety, Thomas confirmed to TMZ on Oct. 1 that he is not “trapped” nor “unable to walk” following the earthquake in the Philippines.
He added that the quake’s “epicenter was 100 miles” from the hotel where he is staying, adding he hasn’t spoken to Samantha and isn’t sure why she said he was trapped.
“I’m currently sitting on the couch in my hotel room, with my feet kicked up and watching Charlie Chan movies,” he confirmed. “I’m quite comfortable.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________
