    The Academy Award-winning actor accidentally dropped the "F" word on live TV while imitating one of his "Cloud Atlas" characters for host Elizabeth Vargas on "Good Morning America" on Friday.

    "I slipped into a brand of acting. I have never done that before! I want to apologize to the kids of America who are watching right now," Tom said following the slip. "And let me say, next time I'm on the show there'll be seven-second delay!

    "Never give me a handheld mic," he added, with a laugh. "I blame the staff! I blame the staff!"
