Tom Cruise: I Came Across As Arrogant

Tom Cruise: I Came Across As Arrogant

Tom Cruise has publicly admitted wrong three years after his lashing out against Today show’s Matt Lauer while talking about prescription drugs. (He criticized Brooke Shields for taking anti-depressants and told Matt he was glib and didn’t know about psychiatry.)

Tom said during today’s morning segment of Today, “I thought about it a lot. It was a subject matter that was important. And now it’s being debated in the public, which it should be. But looking at it, it’s not what I had intended. It came across as arrogant. That’s one of those things I could have handled better.. It’s not the person I am… I learned a lesson. I learned a really good lesson.”

I really admire Tom for all the growing and self realization. I hope people give him a break now and go back to appreciating him for the great actor he is. Watch any Cruise movie and see for yourself.

Are you out of your damn mind, #2?

Of course, #11. He apologized to Brooke Shields two years previous.

Without a doubt? ow do you manage that? You can read minds?

Right, #13.

He’s apologized before, #15. He apologized to Shields and Lauer years ago and he admitted to his mistakes months ago on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

I don’t think he ever did change, #18. I think he just screwed up a while back.

Or maybe…they’re legit, #24? A very plausible scenario as it is simple.

What an ignorant thing to say, #25.

Cruise acts like no such thing, #31.

You can’t hold the fact that he’s not a good public speaker against him or anyone with the same problem.

He’s regarded as no such thing, #32. Ever considered that he’s being sincere?

Risky Business was the movie that made him a star, #34. It was his break out.

Only critics would find something suspicious in walking on a sidewalk.

He DOES do humanitarian work, #35.

Yes he was, #36.

He has the right to marry who he feels like and how do you know she’s a gold digger, #37?

No, #39. ‘Everyone’ doesn’t know jack. I hate it when critics arrogantly think they can read minds and insert some ulterior motive for everything he says or does.

And you would know that how, #41? Do you know Cruise at all to say that he wouldn’t have been apologetic if his popularity was bigger.

How do you what’s the act or not for sure, #49?

Holmes isn’t anorexic, #63. Don’t joke around like that.

I can’t believe he has to renounce his religion that helped him out many times in his life for you to like him, #66.

He didn’t wait that long, #74.

Homes had nothing to do with anything, #76. It was Cruise’s idiocy and his Scientology beliefs.

haha, it took yo tooooo long to get here and thefend what is defenseless, mr blondie, your paycheck is gong to be delayed!!!

Tom’s nose is getting bigger and bigger. You know what they say, Big Nose, Little ****.

Love you Tommy

I don’t think so. He is still arrogant. lol

If you watch it again….he does not make much eye contact and his eyes shift to his left……usually meaning he is not being honest

hey Mr. Blonde
Do u have a life?

People Please
Why does it bother you that Tom Cruise has an opinion?
Why does you hate him because he’s a Scientologist?
Who cares?
All that matters is if he can act and if we like the movies he makes.
Maybe most people do not like his movies any more. Fine.
That is TC’s problem. This is America. Freedom of religion.
Matt Lauer is a nothing and he threw TC under the bus in that interview about Brooke Shields. I feel bad for TC. I grew up with this guy.
His movies were amazing when they first came out and maybe some of you weren’t around yet. Maybe some of you weren’t even born yet.
TC was the bomb. He was “hot” before “hot” even happened.
Give the guy a break already. Matt Lauer is a joke and a phony like you cannot believe. Morning talk show host making an ass out of a famous movie star. If I were TC, I would never go near that a**hole again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nancy S. and paul M. @ 12/15/2008 at 9:32 pm

Why do you………..
sorry

mr. blond, what a loser. get a life!

tom is gay, gay, GAY!
and a liar and a fake. of course he’s humbling himself, he has a movie to promote. people aren’t stupid or blind. well, except mr. blond. maybe it’s tom himself or a fellow scientologist.

God bless this man and his family. to the trolls (_|_)

# 76 you are delusional. No one likes Katie? She is loaded with amazing reviews for All My Sons, her fashion is a boost for the market and her play sells lots of tickets as in the no.1 non musical play
in Broadway right now.

He looks pretty
darn good for someone
who is close to 50.

You are SICK, #89. You must be a LESBIAN.

Tom, please do that comedy chef movie not the superhero Sleeper for Warner Bros.

God, Tom is still hot!!!
Can’t wait for his new movie! Hi is excellent actor and works talented directors.

Always had a crush on him since I was in high school and till this day I still do. Im happy he found Katie.

Mr Blonde- (response to my post #2)

Nope, YOU are!

I don’t expect you to understand. It is proven. LOok it up on the internet……get a little education you little puffball!

oops I forgot to type #78—-from that Mr Blonde Puffball

My gosh, this guy is being promoted to the high heavens! I just looked at Dec. 22 People magazine, Tom on the cover, with his inside story that includes 8 - count ‘em - 8 pages of pictures of Tom and company, “My Life in Pictures,” I guess to remind us of his golden past or something. Geez, this guy is trying so hard…but I’m just turned off…actually was never fully turned on…but his antics certainly haven’t helped. Not only was I turned off by his arrogance on the subject of antidepressants, but I got waaaaaaaaaay over the Tom/Katie courtship/year of the wedding. I mean, my gosh! You would have thought Charles and Diana were marrying all over again! He needs to just settle down and work on being an actor, a good one, and quit all the hyping up to gain popularity. I think keeping his family away from photogs would go a long way. And the “holiday of the stars crap” with the Beckhams. Just….stop! It’s overkill.

Tom ages hotly but not Lauer! *_*

cruise is finished @ 12/16/2008 at 4:10 am

tom is a revolting member of a malicious cult
humanitarian LOL = brainwashing cult promotion and indoctrination
boycott tom cruise - he shills for a destructive cult

Both Tom and Matt are p*ssy’s. Now they can join the p*ssy twat club together.

Sonny Chan @ 12/16/2008 at 8:31 am

Tom has no choice, he has a movie coming out n alot is riding on that movie. So if it means having to eat humble pie, so be it. Didn’t u notice the number of talk shows he has been in recent weeks.!
