I totally agree that actors, Hollywood, and professional athletes, all of whom I categorize as pure entertainers, are unfortunately elevated in our society to much more value that the more important members of society like teachers, first responders, public electricians, trash collectors, and everyone else we really need as a society to function.

I am not convinced that Katie is the precursor to his lack of involvement with his daughter. She has often stated that she wished he would show more interest in Suri.

He is infamous for grandiose and over the top speeches and displays of purported love and adoration (on screen - display on Oprah of how much he was in love with Katie Holmes) followed by vilification and accusations years later against said person. Black and white thinking. Common in Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He alienated adopted children against Australian actress Nicole Kidman.

And maybe I'll bet you he didn't start out that way narcissistic in and out a****** and jerk and could say a lot of things about him and I don't normally call people names unless they are extremely evil or ugly as in Tom's behavior and you know I can't even watch any of Hollywood anymore but just to think that we really loved his movies I personally was never a Tom Cruise fan a huge fan anyway but I did like the movie A FEW GOOD MEN with Demi Moore and Jack Nicholson; I also like the movie with Cuba Gooding Jr, I l preferred Val Kilmer over Tom Cruz in in the famous movie about the jet fighters I can't think of the title anyway...(Nicole Kidman that was the other wife) just giving my humble opinion on things LOL

In interviews, Tom Cruise has said that he suffered bc his father was a bully. What a deep irony that he is now the one whose behaviour seems bullying. A potently transformational counselling skill is a tool called “developing discrepancy”. It’s essentially noticing that people are not living lives with alignment.

And through no fault of her own.

There are still some who act out and most of us have either been dressed down like that or seen it happen.

[@MondoRockable]

@@cinemathequerouge317 The entertainment industry can be tough for artists. You can be a great actor/singer/dancer/musician and perhaps you never get the respect you deserve or crave (depending on how you measure it). Most people however recognize artistic talent, whether displayed innately and/or through hard work. The problem is, as Grande alluded to, people like Cruise are in a position of power and authority and can pretty much say what they want, when they want, and how they want ("another Tuesday" as you suggested). They're entertainers, not diplomats, negotiators, corporate leaders, or academics, and likely lack the appropriate skillset to resolve complex issues in an appropriate fashion (i.e. not a tirade).

Hello

[@HeroicMermaids98]

I saw Tom Cruise on Graham Norton’s talk show recently and was totally bemused and taken aback by his ability to make every conversation somehow going back to himself even when the host was asking the other guests about themselves. He came across as totally self absorbed, almost to a point where he couldn’t listen to anyone else and wouldn’t let anyone get a word in edgewise as it was all “I’ve done that, I do this, me, me, me!” He seemed very irritating but I almost found it comical that he clearly lacks any self awareness! I hope he gets help as he seemed very unhealthy but I doubt he ever will!

Tom Cruise has had really good reputation as one of the kindest actor out there but the scientology really is fucking him up. I am a former brainwashed cult member because my parents was and still is a member up until today. Cults really have 90% control over you.. they have this daily personal confession about your current situation and thoughts and because you wholeheartedly believed in them then you will tell even your deepest secrets and struggles because you believe it's the right thing to do..allowing them to access your whole being and decided what you should do. They will make you feel like you are above than the rest of the people because you are the chosen one and that all the rest needs to be save... that kind of mindset really helped me make lots of money for then. I Infact come here in US using R1(religious visa), I got recruited to be "missionary" here but all I actually did was to walk and sell sell and sell! Making a weekly average of $2.5k (No joke) some of our top "fundraiser" have a daily average of $1k and on Friday or Saturday will be $3k..we enter every establishment..we are the earliest to wake up and the last to fall asleep specially during weekends when the last bar will close in our area... but what made me make such money by just walking with very little items? It's because I pulled up a different persona. I overcome my shyness and become really tough and charming...how? It's because I truly believe that God is on my side and I am the chosen one, higher than all these people...their money will be restored and that might very well paved the way for their salvation one day... I didn't give an Fvck even if they make money out of criminal activities as long as they give them to me and will be put to good use. That's the danger of dogmatic views and ideology. These people don't need judgmental society! They need people who are welling to put effort to educate them.

@arnehusby1420 He's an actor. He wants to appear pleasant to the public, but his scientology and his egotistical behaviour speaks for itself. He makes Billions on his films, he ought to treat the crew with respect and decency. I don't see how the Hollywood industry's losing yet another "Mission Impossible" movie would make a difference in putting food on the publics' tables. He could do good things with his money, instead, he was Scientology to rule. A frightening prospect.

2:30 - “Pseudo science?” How about pseudo religion?

[@pjj9491]

absolutely...

[@andysommerlot5123]

Right. Most religion is pseudo in my opinion, but that's a whole nother discussion.

[@darlalathan6143]

Religions are pseudo sciences.

As soon as I saw the title I immediately said out loud that you’re going to have to narrow that down a bit 😂 Also sincerely hoping I can start to list “manic couch jumping” as a chronic risk factor in future assessments on my unit.

[@lidahall5928]

Yes, I know! I'd not even heard of his latest outburst before clicking on this video myself.

[@JadedBelle]

Dr. Grande I'd just like you to know that many times when you post a video on a certain topic I have an opinion formed and can watch and nod along with your words but JUST AS OFTEN...I see a topic that im undecided about, that I lack the wisdom and/or information about to form an educated opinion about. In the end...whether I completely agree with you or not isn't the point...its the unbiased and balanced presentation you give that helps me to understand. You ultimately keep me grounded and as fair as possible through your no nonsense approach. I am grateful to have found you and you serve as a mirror to bounce my opinions off of even without personal interaction with you. Please keep it up as you are serving a great purpose in what you do. If only the masses would tune into you instead of the Kardashians or other similar petty "entertainment". It would be a greater world indeed.

[@orchardlea]

I wish more people had your approach to forming a decision, the humility to admit ignorance on a topic without beliving it somehow reflects badly on them and the will to have their minds changed with good arguments.

[@meanhe8702]

Dr Grande, I LOVE 😍 your dry sense of humor, your awesome throwing of shade, and your subtle smart assery, it’s right up my alley!

[@kayhoover6530]

This has got to be one of the funniest comment sections ever for the Dr. Grande community. Thank you for inspiring such humour and fun dialogue, Dr. Grande.

[@fiachdrogheda]

Dr. Grande, you're - you are - blank hilarious. 'Mr Cruise, if we do this again what will happen? I wasn't - was not - paying attention during your first little thing there.'

[@Mooray27]

Leah Remini has an interesting take on this tirade and how it relates to his Scientology beliefs.

[@cynthiatolman326]

Your description of the way actors are put on a pedestal is well said. In my opinion the inherent problem with this is they have few 'equals' with no checks and balances that the rest of us have to realise the world does not revolve around us and it will continue if and when we aren't here.

[@carolbenson6524]

I can see why his wife wanted a divorce. He's always seemed a little controlling and emotionally off balance to me.

[@d8bn]

Perhaps Tom could have avoided this outburst had he postponed filming a movie in the middle of a pandemic. Perhaps he could have explored another avenue of entertaining others without putting so many other co-creators at risk.

[@nachtegaelw5389]

Good point!!

[@rsfilmdiscussionchannel4168]

I know it's a big movie, but it's actually easy to shoot a film according to these virus guidelines and have everyone come out fine and not even infected. So I don't think it was unsafe inherently. But yeah, if people break the rules then they can screw that up. Also keep in mind that Cruise is only one of several people who decided whether or not the next film would go ahead and shoot. Maybe he didn't want to but had no choice, we don't know.

[@toneyeye]

Nothing short if total lock down would please you? Makes me wonder where your food comes from.

[@pluutoop]

Exactly

The last thing you want a scientologist to do is convince you to go on a boat, where they can officially brainwash you and teach you jazz music.

😂 I can always count on you to make my day, Doc ! I read an article once about ol' Tommy boy that said he was a "Preen Queen" . His roommate said he would stand in front of mirrors and admire himself. Doesn't surprise me, though. Lol

I've been watching Leah Remini's documentary about Scientology and it reminds me of how Miscavige is described as abusive.

[@lenasamzelius5530]

One would think that the easiest way to end speculations about mrs. Miscavige not being seen in public for many years, would be to let her be seen in public...

[@sylettemonroe8878]

In my opinion impulsive rages are abusive. I have experienced them by an abusive father, and they are not fun! Agree!

[@lokisabriel]

I always thought Tom Cruise was overrated, and I completely lost any smidgeon of respect I had for him when he decided to go after Brooke Shields and then went on that tirade on The Today Show. His bullshit "apology" was just to save face, you could tell he wasn't sorry about a damn thing except for the backlash he got from former fans who were on psych meds or depended on therapy. Frankly I would be shocked if he doesn't see this (because the Church of Scientology tracks EVERYTHING said about them or their members) and then comes out with something calling you "glib" and then ranting about how he knows the history of psychiatry and knows better than someone with a PhD.

[@bt8593]

Jesus, I completely forgot about the glib comment.

[@leonieromanes7265]

After Cruise goes through severe postnatal depression himself, then he can lecture the rest of us how to deal with it😡

[@neuroticgurl0295]

all i can think about is the fact that he has a tooth in the middle of his mouth. like completely down the middle

[@tommygoode9644]

A little more background on Tom Cruise is that he grew up playing hockey. Apparently he was quite the fighter, always looking to go against anyone to prove how big and strong he is. His original last name was Mappother and he had a little brother. He also had chipped teeth from playing hockey. Hockey is not an easy game to play so he must have good coordination. To fight on skates you need a reasonably good understanding how to skate. I don't think he plays anymore.
