Has Cruise had work done recently? I feel like a lot of recent photos prior to this particular interview showed a jowlier, saggier face.

Unrelated, ScarJo is engaged. But who is Ryan Reynolds?

he looks a little like dustin hoffman's character in rainman. nice cap, SM.

What the hell is he promoting? Is he in The Indiana Jones or something?

@lesbiansayswhat: think hairy chest goodness

@nyobserver: I will bet a bit of a lift though in the face. That or all his insane ranting and the defending his religion has finally exhausted him.

I thought he was pretty hot back in his "Top Gun" days. Now I think he's just sad.

@ceejeemcbeegee (AKA!):I think he has a movie coming out this year...maybe..

I don't think it's possible for me to love Dustin Hoffman any more.

Also, Senior Cruise looks baked in that screencap.

Wow. This clip reminds me that Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman used to make good movies.

@museormyth: My thoughts at the pic! The manic subdued...looks like someone got his seroquel this morning.

@tranquilmademoiselle: Wait...this is commemorate 25 years in the biz?!? Is he dying or something? Or tis this because he's never won an Oscar?

I'm starting to feel sorry for him; kinda. I just had the feeling "this will not end well"
I think the Scient-ist's got his secrets, he's brain washed and mentally-ill, untreated. Unless you count all those vitamins...just think though, his Delusions of Granduer are made real...Brittany anyone..?

That screen cap is hilarious. Despite the well-wishes, the old clips and cobwebbed anecdotes, he looks like he needs medication.

Obviously the mvoie studio behind Valkyrie keeps pushing back the release because everyone thinks Tom is crazy.
I am not sure these Oprah interviews helped to dispell that sentiment.

@ceejeemcbeegee (AKA!):Maybe it's because journalists and other celebrities have figured out that people aren't going to be rushing to a theater to see another one of his movies again

My aunt was in Rain Man. Dustin busts into her house to play video games and she freaks out.

In The Outsiders, there's a part where the boys are running out of a house, maybe off to a rumble, and Tom does this handstand on the fence, turns around, and flips over. It seemed out of character for a working-class tough kid to execute some gymnastics moves.

I miss enjoying Mission: Impossible and not hearing anything about his personal life.

I'm interested in Valkyrie.

I loved that scene. I guess me and my mom have a very immature sense of humor.

OH Dusty strikes again! He is a notorious prankster, got a wicked sense of humor!

I found this episode really hard to watch and I didn't make it past the segment where Posh tried to credit "Jerry Maguire" with igniting her relationship with Becks. Jada and Will really brought out the kneepads! The most unsettling part was how all the special guests talked about what a wonderful human being he was. Shameless
I'm sure the goal of this interview was to squash the rumors, but my "smutty sense" (Lainey!) is tingling.

Rain Man is one of my absolute favorite movies because of Dustin Hoffman. I've watched it countless times and never get tired of Dustin's amazing acting ability. As far as Cruise is concerned, I always get the feeling he thinks he's sooooo much smarter than whoever he's talking to. The little world he's created for himself is totally in another galaxy and has nothing to do with reality.

@Gretchen: I don't think he's bad-looking now ... except for that screen cap, of course. It's just hard to get past the crazy ego.

Why isn't anyone talking about the fart?

@BOO_BOO_HOFF: your comment is changing my life! It will be my way of breaking awkward silences after I fart in public.

Howver much I am indebted to you for this quote, I won't initiate discussion of the fart, because I don't like talking about Tom Cruise.

See, fart jokes are just inherently funny! Even Dustin Hoffman thinks so!

@museormyth: I thought the same. Although I do think if he should have gotten any Oscar, it should have been a Supporting one for his cheek-acting in the last scene of that movie, clearly Barry Levinson saw something the rest of us did not.

Ahh..the old stand by poopie, fart jokes..my 3 yr old does this when he is uncomfortable and trying to make a "funny"?....

@beatrice3000: Your aunt rocked in that scene. In her wisdom, she bowed to the Wopner. Loved it.

"You can help me, or you can stand there and watch it happen."

The gymnastics were something Steve (T.C.'s character) does in the original S.E. Hinton book.

I thought Ethan and Max flirting in the back of the limo was the second best scene in the movie, right behind "I'm sure we can find something I have that you need."

Why yes, I am a late 80s -- and M.I. -- culture geek. Thank you for asking.

The first still is absolutely classic - excellent facial expression. in fact, it pretty much sums up my feelings about the entire thing.

@BOO_BOO_HOFF: You can always count on me to talk about the fart. In fact, it's often necessary for me to draw upon my fart-translation skills, since this is sometimes how my ESL boyfriend declares his love for me.

Oh, I'd also recommend placing "Top Gun" in your Netflix queue and enjoying this with a friend and some booze, etc. of choice. Good times!

That is the best movie Tom Cruise was ever in and that scene is close to the best scene. Except for the airport scene in which Ray says that he wants to fly Quantas because they've never crashed.

@richcreamerybutter: But read this first before you watch the movie:

@richcreamerybutter: I'm a native English speaker and yet, letting one rip at an opportune moment never fails to illicit an "And that's how much you love me." from my Swedish partner.

Ok, seriously - WTF? Does Oprah owe Tom money or something?!? WHY is she having him on her show (a TWO-part series, no less!) when no one gives a shit about him anymore? He hasn't done anything in forever, no one believes he is straight or sane (let alone attractive!), but she devotes this much airtime to him? Something's rotten...

@richcreamerybutter: @Shazzer: OH NOW I understand! That's what IT means when my sons fart in my 'general direction'. Blowing kisses, eh?

In the only related news that actually matters, you are not the handsome wealthy talented actor named Tom Cruise.

Let the hate begi -- ohwaitIseewhat'sgoingonhere...

He's so crazy, but you can occasionally still see what made him so compelling (and I guess keeps him in the public eye). I think he could really "use his powers for good", so to speak, because he's a charismatic guy.

@sassymoniker:
Dustin Hoffman is obsessed with farting. I don't know if I've seen many interviews where he doesn't bring it up.@BeAgrestic: And what was up with Jada's hair? I felt like my mom: "Could you push that hair outta your eyes?"

@legacye: Could you just stop already?Please?!

Dustin Hoffman is the man. I LOVE him!

The screen cap is priceless. He's a shell of himself. See people, this is what happens when all of your body thetans have been exorcised.

@JustT: my thoughts exactly. maybe Co$ is threatening to publish her audit results or something.

Phonebooth dutch oven, that's just cruel.

Seriously, what was up with Jada Pinkett Smith's hair?

TC should just stop trying to convince people he's not crazy and just embrace it. I bet if he lets the crazy come out and play, we'll get a few more Magnolia-like performances out of him. It's his total hypocrisy in denying his crazy that's alienating the movie-going public. But here I go, assuming he can deal with his insanity in a rational manner. Never mind -- I am crazy.

Katie probably looks at his neck and regrets her decision to marry an old, fanatical has-been.
