tom is one of the few hollywood actors who can talk about awesome things they do without sounding too braggy

[@naturesfinest8205]

vibrantpixels definitely!

[@Breerox108]

Yes, he is a master manipulator

[@Box0rz]

Because he's one of the few people who got nothing to prove. Biggest movie star in the world for 30 years straight, we all know he's done awesome things.

[@grace_ajm]

@@Breerox108 So much negativity ! Can't you just enjoy, and leave Tom Cruise alone for one sec !

[@Breerox108]

@@grace_ajm I cannot as he continues to promote and indulge in an organization that ruins lives and even kills.

[@cgbj2416]

2:29 Tom's mother just died about 4 months prior to this interview. Must have been hard for him to discuss that topic but he remained gracious.

Tom Cruise is such a nice and caring guy. The "Cruise Cake" is pretty famous, people receiving cake every year from him

He is charming but I think there is something fake about him also- I imagine he would be hard to live with in real life.

[@patphatkitten]

ntblood He is still involved with scientology.

[@sholape]

[@voodooray393]

How can anyone, not like Tom Cruise??

[@MKMK-bj2sk]

coll b Scientology

[@Nicotine46]

Yeah well, it doesn't mean he's not a nice or cool guy. Everyone has flows.

[@voodooray393]

Personally I think that all religion is stupid, so if I judged people because they were religious, I'd be an asshole

[@cody9766]

Scientology isn't a religion, it's a pyramid scheme cult.

[@ragnar97]

coll b Most religions don't require you to cut everybody who isn't in it out of your life, or to give them money (they ask for it but there's no repercussion for not giving it), etc. Plus, when I stopped going to church no one started following me making sure I didn't speak about it and harassing me or trying to ruin me if I did. I'm not religious but there's a difference between a religion and a cult and scientology is a cult. What amazes me is how can anyone believe in it when the founder literally said "religion is just a way to make easy money"

[@davepalittle2454]

Miss Bassett? You look fabulous!

[@shawnpreston1639]

I agree. She doesn't look like a 60yr old woman sitting beside Tom at all.

[@Julie_Rios]

I love Angela Bassett's reaction. She's such a fam. Haha. Love Tom Cruise.

Angela Bassett is fantastic in body and soul. I would of loved for her to of been Storm. She would of rocked the hell out of it.

[@chimcham6762]

Alexa Harrison Nah there’s a lot of us that feel this way. We love Halle but Angela Bassett is Angela Bassett! 😩🙌🏾

[@sahirygnobehi6448]

PhoenixPsilence .. With an african accent. Cause Halle did no accent. Was disappointed when i went watch the first xmen film. Then came the apocalypse film, with the Canadian girl weird none african accent..they ruined Storm for so many readers. Wish they'll get it right. Storms can fight hand and hand combats. Also she's powerful. That Ryan singer made storm weak and submissive. While he made all the white xmen females powerful.

[@BlackGirlMarvel]

Sahiry Gnobehi in the first one she did have an accent but it was completely abandoned in the future films. Bryan Singer gave her too much control over a character neither did research on. Hopefully that changes now with Marvel.

[@sahirygnobehi6448]

Alexa Harrison .. Nah hunty😊 she did not have an accent. If she did it,it was terribly done😄😄.. Even with the new ones am sure they will have no accents.😊✌.

I think it was his first wife who was in that religion and then got Tom into it

Angela Basset looks soooooo good for her age man😣

[@rhon715]

I remember he filmed the hospital scenes in Days of Thunder in Daytona Beach, only a mile or two down the road from a furniture store I worked at , at the time. They also rented some of the furniture store's warehouses a block down the road for filming inside garage scenes, and who knows what else.. One day driving to work I swear I think I saw him and Nicole riding a motorcycle to the hospital set. They were all decked out in white and blue racing type uniforms and helmets but I could see the tall girl riding behind him had long curly red hair. I tried driving down to our warehouses but they had them blocked off and only our delivery trucks could get access to the smaller warehouses they were not using.

Angela Bassett is like vintage wine she just gets better with AGE. Tom is the real deal. That guy risks his life at least a dozen times per movie in those Mission Impossible Movies.
