  • he's soooooo creepy.

  • Comment removed

  • geez he is soo borring. i can't believe i watched mission impossible 21: ghost protocol

  • I Love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

  • gosh...i loved tom cruise as a kid. as an adult, i always see his films. i held him to a higher level--unfairly. he got divorced from nic and i was over him. see, that's not fair. i wanted the fairytale. but, with kaite...whatever. the guy jumped on a couch...you know, that's romantic. he let himself feel happy and out of control. that's cool. at least, it would work for me.

  • great donald duck

  • LOOL he's never not smiling

  • I will not let the sciencetology thing slide like other people will,good actor or not the guy is a complete and utter fruitcake.So yes that means I am forgoing seeing any of that lunatics movies ever,Even the new mission impossible.Mel Gibson should be offered these parts over him he would just as good a job of it if not better

  • @MrPheripidis lunatic or not he isn't hurting you.

  • he's a great actor and hot as hell, so i'll just let the scientology thing slide.

  • I don't think people realize how great Tom Cruise is as a human being as well as an actor.

  • there is something sexy about himmm...

  • That Donald Duck sneeze was brilliant.

  • He's a great actor.

  • I felt awkward watching this. Oh look, there is a side link to Will Ferrell! Click.

  • Gifted... a damn fine actor.

  • 10 min after this interview he ate 12 mexican babies.

  • It's rueful ... at his age you can still see the child striving to be accepted, looking for approval, performing to A+ standards. The million dollar smile, the $10,000/year dental care treatment. The impecable hairdo---not one hair out of place. The tailor fitted clothes, not a crease in disarray. It's saddening.

  • Hey Look Tom Cruise is packing fudge!

  • I dont understand why everyone hates on him...all I see is an incredibly honest, down to earth, charming, wise and funny man. Good on him.

  • @gallapagoseaturtle Yeah but come on paper-outs? Mowing the lawn? Most of us guys have done this......no big deal there. Otherwise, sure.

  • There's something really off about him. I'm not a person who greatly dislikes him, i just find that he is sometimes just there for show. All the other actors on these NYTimes interviews feel so real, and you can connect to them, but i just don't feel the same about Tom.

  • Damn...he's aged well!

  • I love these interviews....all that New York Times has been able to do here is amazing. It feels so intimate and real. It ffeels as if you are actually talking (face to face) to the person.

    Thank you so much for the experience.,,

  • He's smile just makes you wanna smile...

  • Dear God, he has beautiful teeth... lol

  • i have always been torn between loving or hating him. no one else. i always either like or don't. i have to admit he has done some kick ass acting. killed some parts. but sometimes he seems so cocky, stuck up and arrogant, and the Scientology stuff... that i hate him LOL. anyone else feel that way?

  • He's not one of my favorite actors at all. But he is a movie star, I'll give him that. His agent must be a very wanted person! In this interview he really does look sort of sad around the eyes, despite the extremely white smile. Again, not my favorite actor, but am loving this interview style! Kudos NYTimes!

  • Five words: Fucking movie star. Dying breed.

  • I like how he shakes someones hands 0:18, His face is like "Wheres the fucken hand sanitizer, SHOW ME THE HAND SANITIZER!!"

  • I am surprised by Tom Cruise every time I see him talking I think he is one of the greats like Gary Cooper or Gregory Peck or Paul Newman - the guy just has class and is watchable in anything he does even if ur not a fan he is committed and thats enough for anyone.

  • forget scientology just watch his films, they are all brilliant, he may be a star but he does have the acting chops, after the death in top gun he is really good

  • Where's the Mission Impossible theme music??

  • he's totally insane!

  • What is it like wearing clothes?

  • I love scientology :) And i love my tommy boy.

  • I CAN EAT PLANETS!

  • I love you Tooooooooom!!

  • wow....he really looks like Kootra O.O

  • our mr scientology... love this guy :)

  • People please respect everybody religions nobody needs to be like you are.

  • Ohhh, he has really big nose! =D

  • @theashleywhocould He is fake. More than you can imagine. An extremely boring, always takes himself so seriously which is a sign of a lack of intelligence and depth.

  • I think it's reassuring that his two front teeth are positioned pretty far off centre. Nobody should be that perfect:)

  • he seems so fake

  • tom cruise always rockssss my favorite actor of all time... hes the best

  • you are so beautiful. you have told me "no fear" and that means to me that the fear i have is the fear that fuels my fear. if am am not responsive to fear in myself, then the fear is not the fuel.

  • LOL @ ppl not believing this is the real him..that shows how good of an actor he is. y'all can't tell what's real and what's fake.

  • This creep's an actor. He's just acting here. Ask the bitch some real questions: like why he believes in Thetans.

  • Paranormal activity recorded on tape in Brazil.

    Only watch if you dare!

    watch?v=vKBfSMhDlqg

  • You are the best tom and i appreciate your honesty :) and the passion and truth u seem to project :)

  • This guys an amazing actor!

  • poopy

  • so many people hate on tom cruise, but who cares about his personal life and the religion he chose, the fact is that he is a terrific actor. absolutely great. people who disagree with that obviously have never seen minority report, top gun, jerry maguire, risky business, a few good men... i could go on and on.

  • @bellarose521 I agree that he gets a lot of shit for his personal life but IMO,he's more of a moviestar than an actor.He never completely disappears into his characters.I always see Tom Cruise playing a character, not a character.How many movies has he done, and only has 2 oscar noms?(btw Magnolia is my fav performance of his).I like him in all those movies u listed but I think he gets by mostly on charisma,sorta like Julia Roberts.Don't get me wrong,I like the guy & he does great films

  • Scientology is a great concept but problem is it is not complete. if idea of Scientology has been derived from from the evolution of religious books, then if there was GOD then it is only in Christianity, Islam or Hinduism and every book says diffrently. Budhism doesn't have concept of GOD. So there should be only one book right. Whether it is Quran, Bible, Gita or Jewish religius books. And Scientology is concept which is fake on its principles.

  • @Lesgettogether don't start this shit

  • *yawn* hes not a bad person but he's a bit of a bore. And all of you are ranting on "stop talking about scientology! who cares?!? who cares!?!"

    Well sorry but maybe you should admit it's a fact that Tom talking about it relentlessly at every given chance doesn't help

  • I really don't care about his religious beliefs, all I know is that Jerry Maguire is one of my favorite films of all time, I think he was amazing in it. And he was also great in Magnolia. He's an amazing actor. I don't care what he believes in. He is an artist.

  • If there was a live action Simpsons movie he would play Ned Flanders.

  • @BaconismyBF there will never be one. Forced by contract.

  • @Moratorium Thanks, nerd

  • @BaconismyBF whatever a nerd is, I am none.

  • @BaconismyBF yes, and paul giamatti for homer

  • @BaconismyBF No, the producers of the Simpsons decided that if anyone were to play Flanders, it would be William H. Macy.

  • @dicekpapi18 Hahaha, thats even better than my idea.

  • handsome 20 years ago..still handsome today =]

  • Comment removed

  • 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.

    he's awesome.

  • tom your donald is spot on!! loved it! please do more..

  • He looks kinda similar to John Barrowman in my oppinion.

  • FREAK ! he commited a Media Suicide with his scientology things which is considered as a sect in a lot of countrys specially in Europe

    He was one of my favourite actor and I use to love him before i found out that he was a f**** scary PSYCHO

  • handsome for 50-yrs-old.

  • okay the scientology part is a bit weird but he's a damn good actor and a cool guy. Oh and by the way don't steal his briefcase or he'll call you 'homie' and then shoot you...

  • Tom Cruise = Beautiful man ALIVE!!!!

    i have no idea he replacing Nicole to Katie -_-

  • Scientologist psycho. The rest is irrelevant.

  • funny so many young actors look older than Tom Cruise.

  • I wish he wasn't Scientologist, and all the crap that goes along with that, but, despite all that, I and probably anyone else can't deny that he is an amazing actor! :)

  • i like the sound of his laugh...thats it.....oh and his smile......aaaand....

  • Why didn't they include the Donald Duck as John Wayne fighting Humphrey Bogart?

  • say what you will, Tom's charisma is undeniable.

  • that guy really looks like tom cruise, don't know why

  • tom loоks very very good.

  • What an honest and open man..

  • omg...he didnt jump

  • watch out for the MOTHERSHIP!

  • The donald duck impression is awesome.

    Cruise is a legend.

  • I adore Tom Cruise. He's such a lovely, energetic, caring individual. Not to mention a kickass actor.

  • He looks Old :O

  • @LoraTheBora

    but good :)

  • @wtfusername Yes he does! ;)

  • @LoraTheBora well, that tends to happen when one GETS OLDER you idiot

  • @LoraTheBora He was 46.. what do you expect?

  • if you dont like someone or attack them due to their Religion, you're a fucken biggot, period. I love Cruise no matter what he chooses to do with his life.

  • @oliveraldama

    I love Tom Cruise

  • I really like Tom Cruise as an Actor..even though everyone talked about him in his scientology..I think he is a very good actor. I liked him in all of the Mission Impossible films, War of the Worlds..The Color of Money..Cocktail..even though he's had a couple bad films..that doesn't make him bad.. he's in the process of making Mission Impossible 4 at the moment. So I can't wait to see what'll be new on that.

  • @Wathen8925

    I love Tom Cruise

  • everybody keeps telling me i look like very similar to hom)

    only bit taller

  • @t0rq21 your mom tell you that?

  • I DID A LOT OF THINGS IN PROTEST RATHER HOW HUMBLE OR PROUD. A SORT OF INTERING.

  • i think hes a great actor, who cares if he's a scientoglist? when i make friends i dont even think about their religion. i just know if like them or not, if theyre a friendly person. and i dont know tom cruise at all, but im not letting his religion get in the way of me liking his performances.

  • TOM CRUISE = LIVING LEGEND

  • Tom Cruise = Classy and elegant!

  • 1:40 Cruise is thinking: Why the fuck aren't you laughing at my joke coksucker?

  • kind of a douche...also kind of an amazing actor :D

  • omg i remember Tom is my first Hollywood crush. i first saw him in Top Gun when i was 5 or 6. he was young and insanely handsome back then. now i'm 21 and i still adore him. it breaks my heart every time people call him names. i don't care about Scientology b.s, he's still the man! :)

  • great nose

  • he's such a likable guy.

  • I love him! He is so cute. <3

  • man he could be 80 and still yummy.

  • @fuzzylynda i know!

  • Tom Cruise jerks off with Tom Cruise lotion

  • Thumbs up for the Donald sneeze =D =D

  • When your dreams are coming true, it's hard to believe it. Very interesting statement.

  • the way some of you idiot people get so defensive about a man YOU HAVE NEVER MET...LOL

    People are free to have whatever opinion they like, personally i am not a TC fan, he seems a little plastic and 2-dimensional to me. HE is a good actor though.

  • his scientology has nothing to do with the fact that he is a pretty arrogant snoot.

  • wow great donald duck impression!

  • I bet if he wasn't a Scientologist, you guys wouldnt' say such nasty shit about this man, who is a stranger to you. Peopl and the tabloids fabricate crap out of thin air to sell their magazines; you cannot believe any of it. And so what if he's a Scientologist, and he likes it, and it works for him. Great! Good for him that he found something that he loves. You guys are the douches for calling him a douche because of his religious beliefs.

    Live your lives and let others live theirs.

  • @SupernaturalLover67 the prob with celebrities believing and supporting economically Scientologist is not that simple. there is a double standard in there. Celeb get treated differently compared to normal people. is a evil organization and as a public figure he should not support it.

  • At least he's not afraid to care what people think; he's a brilliant charismatic actor, and people need to stop judging him on his personal life, and appreciate his truly amazing acting :)

  • anyone who believe his god is from mars and came to earth 60billion years ago is obviously not mentally stable

  • @serge421UA But that's bullshit.

    That's not a belief of Scientology.

  • I don't care what crazy shit he believes, he is damn sexy.

  • his teeth are huge

  • his smile is like milion $

  • RISKY BUSTYNESS 2: joel's sexy business reunion while his wife & kid's away tomcat will pay to play. more upon request..

  • hahhahahhahaha, he's such a midget :3

  • you can see Tom Cruise and see Scientology, but it doesn't alter his acting quality.

  • "Thats right Ice I am dangerous"

  • "My first experience with stunts" *crazy laugh that fake tom cruise does on take180* "A guy shooting at me"

  • he looks just like Tom Cruise from take 180.com

  • I cant see tom cruise and NOT think scientology. Its hard to take him seriously!

  • TOM CRUISE = LEGEND

  • @kalamantas3

    yeah cool movie.

  • @kalamantas3 Tom Cruise = Brain Washed

  • @Flipper79able tom cruise = brain washer

  • The man's a Legend 

  • I love him!

  • Sure, his religious views are weird to us and a tad foreign, but he's an incredibly talented and versatile actor, and quite a charming guy. He's an actor, as long as he keeps doing that with a smile on his face then we should stop publicising his "problems".

  • i like tom..he's strange and the sientology thing is yuk..but tom is a good person anyway

  • Tom Cruise is extremely talented 1 in a million

  • He is becoming old... but he is not growing handsome old

  • @Soushi123 like whats handsome old like pierce bronson

  • @Soushi123 yeah like brad pitt lols

  • Why so much hating? he seems like a nice guy and really passionate about what he does

  • Love him.

  • He's handsome. I like him.

  • lol, He's is such a weirdo!

  • he lost the appeal. He is a loser and a good actor

  • he is a passionate actor thats for sure.

  • he is the best!

  • He seems rushed, in the beginning you hear him say lets go and then he says ok guys like hurry it up people. I can see how he could be an ass, but still he is a talented actor.

  • he's a douche

  • Tom Cruise verführt zum Bösen,

    zu Scientology,

    zu einem die Seele zerstörenden Irrglauben!

    Anonymous lässt das nicht zu.

  • @ernest4o

    I agree with you.

    He usually seems really acting all the time, being over dramatic and stuff.

    But this is quite a decent interview to me, where he is a lot more sincere than usual.

    I think it s because of the all scenery.

  • Have you seen him laugh? It's horrifying. :O

  • best actor and nicest guy in Hollywood

  • i agree with stacyxxy!!!!!!!!

  • great donald duck sneeze!

  • he kinda looks like Steve Nash

  • I dont know how many villains he has done but my favorite one is Vincent in Collateral
