    I love at 0:22 seconds you see Tom Cruise unguarded for that second. In his eyes, he is vulnerable and he doesn't want to be bothered with the interview. Just like all of us might suffer dread. Then, within two seconds he turns on his inner-light, his stock smile and it's back to business. Wonderful.

      ***** well besides the outrageous unbelievable actual happening of tom cruise, THEE tom cruise emasculating himself to saluting another man? (who does this especially a famous powerful person like him? saluting another man as his better, his superior, unless your in the military and you HAVE to do this, what kind of man especially someone who is worldwide famous and powerful would do this no matter who the other man/person was and not see how embarassing and yes emasculating it is?!) the fact that he has made the leader of a cult his best friend is all that needs to be said.. (who makes the leader of a "religion/faith/church" their best friend? what "religous" leader would even have a best friend or allow that in the first place??!!) obviously its totally inappropriate, unethical, etcetera and neither of these 2 see that?

    • @mbblover

      ***** sorry, but i highly highly doubt any other huge global male celeb whether actor, musician, sports star, politician would salute another man for any reason, no matter who said man was as their lesser, as the other guy is superior to them! utterly emasculating and embarassing! i know i would NEVER EVER salute another man no matter who they are and i'm a "nobody!"...

    Love him or hate him, he is the Heavy-weight champion of the movie industry. Interesting fact: the scene in magnolia in the hospital death bed of his father who he hates happened to him in real life the exact same way, he hated his dad and refused to speak to him his whole life but went and spoke to him on his death bed, his best performance as an actor because it was real life to him. cool fact

    I don't find him insane; I simply find him intense. And talented. I will always appreciate the life he puts into his characters..
    There are four basic behavioral groups: controllers, supporters, analysts and promoters. He is a classic promoter personality like myself and we are oft misunderstood. ;D He naturally promotes things and we laugh a lot and are extra enthusiastic about the littlest things!!!! I understand him in this regard.!!

      Mark Kennedy I’m glad to hear it. I don’t get all the vitriol.. 🤷🏻‍♀️ He is hard-working but you never hear his costars saying he was anything but courteous. Granted he got upset about the filming in England but he had a lot of weight on his shoulders there, for all their jobs. The rules are quite stringent from what my British friends have told me.

He's an amazing, magnificent being. The info he gives is also so inspiring. Love it!

    why is it when actors are happy with themselves and their lives, people and fans seem to bash out on them. like who cares about how different he is from back then. he's part of a 'religion' that he feels happy in, and he has a wife that makes him happy and a daughter. i doubt he even cares that he's less popular as an actor from back then.
