This isn’t the first time that Cruise has behaved oddly for the world. Back in 2005, the actor appeared in an interview onThe Oprah Winfrey Show.Madly in love with his then-lover Katie Holmes, the actor jumped onto Winfrey’s couch, while professing his love to Katie Holmes.
The action stirred quite a lot of controversy but at that time, visionary director Steven Spielberg had stood alongside theTop Gunactor. In an interview onNewsweek(viaCNN), Spielberg revealed that he was angry not at Cruise but at the press for making such a big deal out of nothing.
“Not at Tom, but at the press for making such a big deal out of a kind of small thing. Tom lost his cool because he was deliriously happy, and now he was being punished for his public display of happiness,”
Tom Cruise has quietened down about his personal life over the years and doesn’t publicly speak about his involvement with the Church of Scientology. With some reports claiming Cruise exited the Church, other speculations differ.
