The MAD Moment I Knew Tom Cruise Was A Sociopath

[@extrastout1741]

​@@tabathaogost4982 yeah a bit excessive

[@MrRezillo]

@@extrastout1741 I don't believe the label in unmerited and unearned. Comparing him to a monstrous religion, admittedly much worse, doesn't mitigate his own behavior. Look a the wreckage he's left behind him: Three marriages, one just bad and two disastrous; turned two adopted children into scientology robots and won't speak to the one who's actually his flesh and blood - because the awful cult forbids it. His screaming at employees over COVID, way out of control, does whatever he wants whenever he wants and gets away with it because he's a "star." No, I don't think calling him a monster is harsh at all.

[@Pimpernella]

My cringe factor goes from zero to 120 m/h if I see Tom Cruise on interviews (like on Graham Norton). Only Jada Pinckett Smith raises more red flags because she always needs to demean someone else to look good. I also think she has major insecurities that she's not willing to show. Her red table talk with Leah Remini had the hairs on my neck standing upright. Gnomes, like Jada, are known to be tiny, manipulative and devious.

I was in the Church of Scientology for 7 years. The Training Drills desensitise a person. You feel like you can do anything, just do it, don't worry what people say...its all about goal attainment. You gain psychopathic traits...They lift in time but I still struggle to smile because my reactions are no longer automatic and reactive, they are much more under my control than what I experienced before Scientology. I used to be a sweet kind and naive girl before, but now, everything feels calculated, nothing is spontaneous unless I feel safe.

Xenu

[@AA-lq5pu]

@@factoidual I never came across anything about Xenu when I was there. Apparently Xenu is mentioned in the upper levels like OT3. A level people usually attain after 10 to 20 years of being in and having spent most of their live savings. Also its not just a quirky little Sci-Fi Cult. It is dangerous and extremely destructive. It needs to be taken down. I am South African and it blows my mind that the US goverment has allowed this to go on for so long. Having all your money taken from you, your passport in a foreign country and being forced to engage in heavy manual work that leaves you sweating at the end of it. Being in a constant state of fear, being sleep deprived for long periods of time gets to a state were you literally break down. Your nervous system xxxxxxxx breaks and you cannot even read a page in a book because you are shutting down, You are being monitored constantly. You have to dissociate and become somewhat psychopathic otherwise you will have a psychotic break. I am telling you, I can't explain how horrific it feels to be utterly trapped. I wanted to scream but I couldn't, I wanted to cry but couldn't because they don't allow you to express emotions. I am lucky to have had the opportunity to get out.

You are looking at a ruthless -survivor- thriver that has had a 40 year run of winning...you won't see him fade into feeble obscurity. When he can't stunt, he can still act - and still be physical for his age. And then there's the director's chair. For a control freak like Cruise, I'm surprised he hasn't already given in to the allure of the Director's folding chair. Only thing stronger than his desire for control is his narcissistic vanity, that keeps drawing him to the front side of the camera. But I would expect he will start making an appearance behind the camera, if his performance in front ever gets to be shabby in any way.

At least he admits his faults. tiny tom is too arrogant and extremely narcissistic to admit he's a psychopath when he clearly checks lots of the boxes. Only he can save "Hollywood". Only he can save "humanity and the world". But he just talks and does NOTHING. He goes along abusing his staff because they are sea org members and he is just abusive in so many ways and demeaning because he's so far up that HE"S thinks he's god-like or better than that. I don't know what that is. He's culpable knowing exactly how he treats people is wrong. But, LRH says it's okay. He knows right from wrong. He wasn't born into the cult. He entered when he was an adult.

LOVED this episode of HG and yourself talking about Tom Cruise.. HG absolutely nailed it !!! when he said about TC’s manic laugh, but he’s not really experiencing the emotion he’s projecting.. as it’s not just there in the eyes when he’s laughing… a tad unnerving. Truly a weirdly fascinating human tho. I’m pretty damn sure HG stands for the “Holy Grail” of powers of perception 👌🏾👏🏽😉

If you want to see him genuinely laughing, watch the clip of him on the letterman show talking about cutting some guys oxygen off in the airplane. Definitely real laughter.

[@richardhorrocks1460]

Yeah but come on. Can you imagine how difficult it is to do endless rounds of press? Should he laugh only when he feels like it, or should he try to make everyone feel good by laughing even when he doesn't feel like it? Fucking hell. He does have a manic, empty laugh at times, but he just seems like someone who'd rather fake it a little to make others feel good than be 'authentic' and be a downer for those who he knows are super excited to meet him.

[@Rebeccamunro1]

@@richardhorrocks1460 I get what you are saying, but it’s not TC’s job to make everyone feel better? I wouldn’t say he does endless press rounds, (maybe for Top Gun 2) at the time of release, but he’s seldom interviewed , definitely not on a regular basis. He’s a notoriously private person. He’s always showed a manic demeanour, a very long time now. I’m old enough to have seen the first top gun come out. To me (a woman) he comes across as extremely fake, but also weirdly fascinating because of the things he says, and his extreme behaviours. To your point.. Surely it’s better to be genuine and authentic? To know one narcissist is to know them all tho, in many ways. There’s no hate here from me, purely observation and how I perceive him. ✌🏽

[@richardhorrocks1460]

@@Rebeccamunro1 It's not his job, it's his choice. It's a choice that we all have. And the fact that he is so interested in others, so generous, so open in his gratitude to those who have helped him, really doesn't strike me as narcissistic at all. Quite the opposite, in fact. He's obviously a human being so has his faults, and he an extremely dysfunctional circumstance for most of his life, but he seems - to me - to handle it with grace and decency. I really do not see how Tom Cruise is a narcissist.

[@ninjaswordtothehead]

I like how Christian Bale based Patrick Bateman's character on Cruise. "A very intense friendliness in his eyes with nothing behind them..."

[@themurrrr]

Here’s the thing: the very very important reason stunt people are hired is not just cuz they are trained to do stunts…. It is because IF something STILL goes wrong, the movie can still proceed. They just hire another stunt person. If Tom gets hurt doing a stunt, the whole movie gets put on pause, shelved, possibly permanently shelved. For someone who had a meltdown about people putting other people’s jobs at risk (his covid meltdown), he does it himself every time he decides to do the stunt himself. Rules for thee, but not for me.

There are stunts Tom doesn't do and he trains with other stunt people until it can be done safely. Yeah, there are stunts that look like he is putting himself in danger. But they are set up by people that do lots of stunts in his films. The BTC footage is a selling point for his films. Maybe a little bit of ego. But mostly for publicity. He will happily talk about the other stunt performers in his films. In the film Night and Day alot of the bike work wasn't done by Tom and most are on rigs that stunt people had arranged. It's a little like Keanu Reaves. We presume he does most of his stunts, but he doesn't. Btw, Tom is 60 not nearly 60 👍

Yeah psychopaths are very driven and are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve something. Thats why so many of them are CEO's, bosses and other high ranking positions. They dont care about what others think and their feelings. Tom Cruise has been a mega movie star since the 80s. Most of his films have been successful, people love him all over the world and on top of that he's extremly good looking. He thinks he's the king of the world. He doesnt know anything else than to constantly top himself with more insane stunts for Mission Impossible, probably because its the only way for him to be as successful and relevant as he is today. He doesnt do dramas like A Few Good Men or The Firm because those type of films dont become smash hits at the box office today. They would most likely end up on a streaming service, and we all know thats a big NO NO for Tom. Im convinced he will most likely die in the future while pushing himself harder than ever before

Any way, I think what's interesting about your suspicions of Tom Cruise's sociopathy is the 'behind the scenes' stuff with scientology, like how higher up people are allowed to slap people lower down the rankings, I'm sure theres a story of some girl Tom Cruise was being set up with before Katie Holmes who he supposedly slapped for something she said to him. I also heard that they people down the bottom (the poor people basically) work slave labour for all those high up on the list for free and don't forget turning his and Nicole's children against their mother. Only a truly vile person would use children against a parent.

[@dw1f769]

HG is fab!

[@hsk2909]

lol. He's a fly trap. But he's good at describing the fly trap that he is.

[@jacquelinestillman2593]

He has written many things on Megan and Harry and other narc related series on Utube..

[@shainanash8518]

Andrew, you are an educated, informative, entertaining awesome gentleman. HG, you are a brilliant, funny, and self aware genius.

[@mistadopeman]

The new Mission Impossible film looks absolutely incredible. Let that man go!

[@stacyr3743]

Love it when you have HG Tutor on!

[@ellieisnotcool]

This is a bit off topic, tho it's still about TC. Out of curiosity I went a bit through Tom Cruise's instagram account and I found the comments really odd xD it's a lot of "you saved my life." stuff, a few compliments on his acting (which isn't that good, his stunts are but his emotional portrayal isn't really that complex - ergo he's an outstanding stuntman but only okay at acting... in my eyes at least) and a bunch of die hard fans. But the "you saved my life" stuff... what's that about? It's such a weird thing to get that multiple times on almost every post.

[@kr8882]

Gosh imagine if HG and Tom Cruise had a conversation. I admit I do respect their achievements and dedication.

[@terryseufert5011]

He may be a mega star, outrageously wealthy and yet he has absolutely no relationship with his youngest child. In my eyes, he is a failure.

[@JenniferKirchhoff-d4l]

I’m so happy you have HG on! What a brilliant combination

[@theoak64]

The ability to be an actor is the ability to manipulate. The question i've always wondered about is. What becomes of these people's real personalities. One cannot play numerous characters throughout their lives without doing damage to their psyche. Ive never really been a big Com Truise fan. There was always something that rubbed me the wrong way about him.

[@cemoihonay]

It's an escapism, a journey of exploration. The 'real' person is the baseline they go back to in between times.

[@ImadeUlook]

His interview on 60 minutes was creepy af. Plain as day and I'm actually scared of him.

[@Wanamaker1946]

Why do people try and convert or convince you of their religion? Why? If you believe, truly believe, you know what not to do. You know to be it, but not push it. I personally believe he is a friend of Dorothy. He knows it, he has to keep it private. He is very much in love with Tome Cruise. I don’t care really. He’s very talented, and his films are stupendous. He doesn’t have to be nice. He’s obviously happy in his skin. It is sad his isn’t a Dad and an husband, a good man. He himself is the pale image of himself. He is Dorian Grey.

[@dianacryer]

There must be something wrong with me. I just don’t get the Tom Cruise thing. I’ve never gone to a movie because he was in it. I thought he was good in Risky Business and Top Gun but by the time War of The Worlds came out it seems he lost whatever charisma he had. At least for me. WTW was the last movie I saw him in. If you want to see Cruise genuinely laughing his ass off, watch the Letterman clip about the airplane.

[@scarletred8888]

Agree! Who exactly is going to see those Mission Impossible films, 12 year olds maybe?

[@dianacryer]

@@scarletred8888 😆

[@jglogan27]

I noticed that about his eyes too. It was several years ago. Every time I've seen him since then I try to see a real smile.

[@sydIRISH]

Most actors are sociopaths.....

[@dason5408]

I've been a Tom Cruise fan since I was a kid an even when I was young I knew he puts on a facade.

[@bigmaryhelen]

Well done for thinking of and getting this interview, Andrew. I watched the full length one last night -- well, half of it, because I found it terrifying; I'll watch the next half in the day. It was brilliant, but very strangely unsettling.

[@ellisonhamilton3322]

Maybe once he got those millions of BTs scrubbed off his little body he felt he could defy gravity.

[@Stardusted1]

Tom Cruise is fearless like that because he’s obsessed. And he’s intolerant of those of us who are not as “excellent” as him. Even as a young woman I was repelled by him and instinctively knew something was off with that guy. I find him unattractive in every single way.

[@annem7806]

Tom's laugh is contrived, it's his weakest part of acting.

[@avm9647]

It is said that “Where there no fear there is no sense” or words to that effect!

[@barbmoreau8595]

Also the saying “He soars not high who fears to fall”. I am not a big Cruise fan but liked A Few Good Men.

[@generalpurpose2905]

So true!

[@joanreynolds955]

He abandoned his daughter, Suri. Nothing else much matters.

[@francine6485]

Thanks for asking about Tom

[@HippieSoul77]

I think Tom Cruise has become the way he is because of Scientology. I really don't think he was this way before he started into Scientology. He has really taken on the personality of David Miscavige.

[@greatone2155]

birds of a feather

[@deed.3230]

He was always a good candidate for them bc of his focused intensity. My ex was a Scientologist so I met many of them and the ones that really stick with it in a cultish kind of way seem to display that trait.

[@sampreece]

He isn't a sociopath. Sociopaths don't dress up or put on proverbial masks. They dont engage well with people and often reject societal rules. Hence the term sociopath ie anti-social disorder. Psychopaths and sociopaths share the same traits of lacking empathy and a drive to take advantage of weakness, but they differ in in the persons ability or willingness to engage in social dynamics to achieve a desired outcome. This is why very few actors would be sociopaths, but many could be psychopaths.

[@donnaharris4420]

I would say HG is correct in his assumptions...he himself is a psychopath and would know one when he saw one

[@cemoihonay]

​@@donnaharris4420So he says. Doesn't psychopath mean they've physically acted out harm? So what's he done?

[@donnaharris4420]

I don't know...I'll have to take his word for it. I don't know if it means actual harm to someone, but if you listen to him it's easy to believe him when he tells you what he is. @@cemoihonay

[@stanmonzon5788]

Surely being a sociopath would exclude you from being a good actor as being a good actor relies on you having empathy with your characters?

[@user-ii3vn8tn3q]

In the 80s I lived across the street from the Scientology place in a major city. I had read L.Ron Hubbard, but only his sci fi. He started as a science fiction writer. I has read Dianetics, the first editions, his original. Me day out of sheer boredom, I went into the Scientology place and sat thru, where I was told I had to buy the newest version of the book, it was different. And it was. My memory is pretty good and at the time what there saying, was NOT what was in his original book, and I said as much.. I was asked to leave and not come back.

[@shantishanti1949]

Why do you spend time attacking a person who hasn't done any crimes ...... he is successful, brilliant at his work, and hasn't been an alcoholic, a drug taker or beaten his wives.... what crime has he done except for having a successful career that no one can deny

[@melishek0001]

No judgment there guys. The guy brings joy to millions. See the bigger picture rather than the small-minded judgments. Petty people looking for fault and not realizing it's all projection. The ego ..so happy with its own self-importance. That is narcissism.

[@wthomas5697]

The idea that anyone is fearless is absolutely ridiculous. It just doesn't happen.

[@gregorioeduardo]

It seems a little over the top with this anti-Tom Cruise as an actor person, etc. Go after him for a supportive Scientology. And as Aaron Levin Smith says, the human trafficking cult. Going after him as a person just sounds petty. And in my opinion, it’s also petty with these constant attack on Megan, the Duchess of Sussex and by doing so, attacking his Majesty King Charles III.

[@wynnolan2675]

At least his movies are not the woke apologist nonsense that makes up 95% of new movies.

[@rosalieG-n3s]

I’ve listened to HG Tudor several times. Idk but I sense that he is a very sad man. I wish he would pray to God to deliver him from his demons. Truly wish he would.

[@jmichaelbell5434]

Does anyone else feel the whole “TC does his own stunts” stunt lacks credibility? Think about it. What bonding, insurance company would continue to continue taking increasing risks and increasing liability?

[@Rockit-]

I always thought Scientology was just a front for people like Tom Cruise to save on Taxes - and pay as little (if at all) as possible,,,,but he may of taken it a bit too far - kept it real.

[@players7686]

It's hilarious in South Park when one episode pokes fun at Cruise and his stupidity for Scientology. That Cruise has a few screws loose.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lunam7249]

when tom was in that tv interview hopping around on a sofa talking about how happy dating katie holmes movie star makes him

[@kellyharper8072]

It’s easy to figure Cruise out. He is what he appears to be.

[@deemo5245]

He can’t handle the truth. The signs were there

[@cheetooreo6636]

The sings are Crystal clear

[@catarinamatias4734]

In his next revival, Tom Cruise will have to spend a lot of time auditing to free himself from had being THE TOM CRUISE. 😆

[@catarinamatias4734]

On a more serious note: the Church of Scientology was convicted in France of fraud and conspiracy in 2013, and in Belgium I think an investigation is still ongoing for extortion and quackery. It could be interesting to understand the content of these legal processes.

[@hoolydooly5799]

Agree HG. Is the Guy in charge of Scientology a Psychopath as well. He is scarily odd

[@Busabuck100]

How do you know he does not experience fear. As a skydiver myself, fear is part of the experience. You just push through it, and learn to control it. Eventually the fear becomes less intense. Being exceptional is not narcissistic . Cruise has got balls.

[@rebeccao8895]

Cruise films are banned in my house

[@dennistims2604]

That is your right. What would be interesting is what is not banned in your house. Compare that to cruise and ask why?

[@sandrazed6089]

Is William Shatner a narcissist? I love that man but can't help to see that there is talk of a history of him snubbing his co-stars. Just speculating, not accusing. Maybe I should ask this question to Dr. Grande? Shatner is by far an amazing actor and has been solid in everything he has done. He is THE Captain Kirk! Just re-watching the original series. As an adult, I see how his Shakespearian training helped him with the Cpt role.

[@becp488]

You can be an egotistical wanker without being a narcissist or a sociopath.

[@JRake32]

You sound like a member of the Woke Industrial Complex. Bill Shatner is his own man. That’s what bothers the sheep.

[@joanneblack7697]

Really good stuff here. HG explains it so well.

He was born to play that movie Producer in Tropic Thunder.

[@Caitanyadasa108]

I had never thought of TC through this lens but it makes perfect sense. It's no wonder he can't keep a normal woman.

[@westaussie965]

I don’t give a shit what he’s in to, Top Gun Maverick was fuckn unbelievable and the two part Mission Impossible looking amazing 🤷🏼‍♀️
