"Our first guest is the biggest movie star in the world"- said 20 years ago, and still said today. That's pretty impressive, Mr. Cruise!

[@Julia25120]

Tom has a box office of $12.1 billion. What a legend. No actor and actresses is on Toms level.

[@ozchelseagirl]

20 years later, still the biggest movie star in the world 🥰

[@kesavahanuma007]

Exactly

[@saikatmahbub9625]

No biggest movie star is Shah Rukh Khan

[@KaptifLaDistillerie]

Henry Cavill and Keanu Reeves are way more loved than him

[@pjchj3599]

​@@KaptifLaDistilleriebiggest star is mean most famous and most powerful and by this define Cruise is far ahead them

[@aaronfried6625]

The man is truly one of a kind. So genuine, aware, charismatic, and truly present.

[@atenaPopescu-um2ub]

I LOVE HIM VERY MUCH!❤

[@heatherwinser66]

We all agree he’s extremely intelligent and “one of a kind”!!!

[@EmmaLiess-qz6zw]

He is a sick sick man.

[@hjyto9504]

he was 41 at that time (2003) but looked like 25

[@user-hb1sg1ci9d]

Согласен ,для 40 лет он был очень в хорошей форме

[@dabiguy77]

Tom Cruise is the greatest movie star in modern cinema. He's an incredible performer.

[@heatherwinser66]

He really is…❤

[@wondervidsstudio]

Tom laughs a lot and easily but i don't think I've ever seen him laugh THAT hard lol.

[@des1510]

And we weren't even really close How younger ppl would say BFF's

[@MrJonathan2005]

He has the mentality of a kid and that is a great and very rare thing nowadays. Always curious and energetic and happy and enjoying life at its fullest. Really great dude.

[@tiddlywinks8299]

I love watching Tom in interviews - he's always so invested in whatever he's doing in the moment. I love that about him.

[@racing747]

2023 and Tom is still the biggest box office movie star. He's the GOAT👏👊

[@anujoseph_10]

MI7 flopped at the box office by the way

[@crmay72]

@@anujoseph_10 is that the one where he rides the motorcycle off the cliff? I think that scene was shot in Norway but I have not actually seen the movie yet.

[@anujoseph_10]

@@crmay72 yes. Mission impossible: Dead reckoning part 1. I watched it and it's really nice. Deserved to be a hit.

[@crmay72]

@@anujoseph_10 do you think it bombed at the box office due to the Barbie movie being released simultaneously?

[@anujoseph_10]

@@crmay72 obviously. Barbenheimer is the only reason it happened. They underestimated the hype of Barbie and Oppenheimer. If MI7 released in March or something it would have been a sure hit

[@yvonnecamacho7887]

I like how Tom celebrates Ellen's humor.

[@SENATORPAIN1]

Pandering

[@beautyengineer2198]

I was smiling the all way through. Tom is incredible and I love Ellen's pure appreciation of his qualities

[@JG-nx3jg]

Very polished public persona, practiced manipulation rather than genuine though

[@hearty2871]

That laugh 😂 I just love it!!!

[@GeorgeKuruvilla]

Tom's laugh says it all...

[@SuperHornedtoad]

Says he has to return some video tapes

[@johnny-mnemonic13]

His laugh is so contagious

[@joanneweiss3864]

And he's only gotten better, still humble and loves his fans, costars & crew, & always does the best he can do, never phones it in! Biggest superstar in world & hardest worker, great human, kind in interviews!!!!

This is a great post! I didn't even know Tom Cruise was ever on the Ellen show.

[@veggigoddess]

I've actually been wondering for decades where this was. knew he was on her show and I knew that they at least used to be friends but I've never found this, even though I've looked for it for probably 15 years or so

[@clementinechristenson]

Well I reckon it's about the time the last samurai was released? 2004 he's still pretty fab but both of them look so young there... 19 years ago... its a great film

[@ibtehaljabeen01]

Tom Cruise is still very handsome even today although he is aging gracefully

[@LinYouToo]

I forgot how good he looks with facial hair

[@onlyiforgive5083]

Imagine tom cruise as the joker

[@Lovely_Ryla]

It was so funny!! when he said "are you serious?"

[@gotohoward]

He's all in with making movies. And the movies are almost always good. The nice person thing like practically everyone isn't exactly true all the time. He had three women, and more, walk away. One of those ran. If he's in control, it's a little scary to stay involved is what I see from the public end. I don't know obviously what it's like knowing him.

[@gbh5912]

Down to earth guy, very considerte of others I'd add
