If the *worst* thing that anyone did was talk passionately about their own religion in private, the world would be SO UNBELIEVABLY WONDERFUL!! It's so silly that people have such passionate beliefs about an actor's religion (that he has never discussed publicly = not forcing it on *anyone*)

[@rbarnett3200]

He's been an A-List actor for about 40 years now. Starting when he was a teenager. He found scientology that elevated him to an A-list scientologist for nearly 40 years now. If he's weird then it's because he's been in a bubble echo chamber for half a lifetime. It's actually something of a miracle that he comes across as a decent guy with a sense of humour but who's weird. I strongly doubt that he knows what normal behaviour is. He approximates it and that comes across as false, but his reality is so foreign to us that it seems deeply odd. Say what you want about him, but by all accounts he's a professional at work and his private life is his own. I've got nothing against Cruise.

You are not wrong in what you say, that all religions would have some points of wrong philosophy to them. It is impossible to be perfect, as we all know. I would like to see these people being subjected to liar detector procedures on TV, to be sincere. I don't really believe what they say. I have been inside of Scientology and saw nothing like that. The only things I have against them are the use of emeters, since I believe that is taking shocks on a voluntary basis, which is insanity, and the belief that yawning means, in all situations, not understanding, since a person may yawn for being genuinely tired or bored.

Can you prove that? I didn't say the media decides what's democratic, my assertion was slightly different: I said the vast majority of the media likes him, meaning advertises him positively and is happy publishing about him, and therefore they have approved him 'by vote', basically. As for him using interviews to advertise his (possibly) bizarre ideas, that is not true at all. I am sure he spoke very little about the church of scientology in the media and, as said here, on this page somewhere by someone, he stopped advertising the church more than 10 years ago in the media plus he apologized to Brooke Shields for taking a stand regarding her medication consumption (psychiatric). The media advertised that too so that it seems that his 'bizarre' ideas, about scientology beliefs, are actually 'under control', he got convinced, probably by the same media, that he was wrong in what he was doing before, so that your fear is unfounded.

[@samb123078]

Honestly, he’s one of the best actors ever. Tell me Vincent from Collateral wasn’t the best. “Yo homie”. He can be as strange as he wants, not like I’m a friends with him.

[@jet_lee2024]

As of my last update in January 2022, the cumulative worldwide box office gross for Tom Cruise's films is approximately $4.3 billion, while Keanu Reeves' films have grossed around $4.6 billion worldwide. These figures can fluctuate with new releases and updated box office data, so it's a good idea to check more recent sources for the most accurate numbers.

[@gordonbartlett1921]

Eccentric? That is the mildest of all available adjectives.

[@bitterbold]

I don't care about his scientology fellowship, like I don't care whether an actor is a devoted Christian. At the end of the day they're all made up stories. What I do care about is the devotion and passion for his work, his enthusiasm for the story and trying to bring the best possible on the screen.

[@joewas2225]

As an actor... I like him. He's in great movies & he's great in his roles. I've heard people say he can't act which I laugh it off. But as a person... I despise/hate him. If I ever crossed paths, yeah I'd probably get star struck & strictly talk movies. Cause seeing his interviews that's the only way to be on his good side.

[@BruceStephan]

Question: weird or insane . Answer : uh huh .

[@maestromike91971]

He is one of the key people in Scientology. That does boost his ego. He believes know everything about psychiatry psychology payments everything. That’s so lame they are. He told her you very well learn psychiatrist, but he doesn’t know psychiatry. The only movies I really liked was Tom Cruise in them was the outsiders and taps and risky business wasn’t bad.

Fine. At least you confess you like some of his art.

I was never a big fan but saw some of his films UNTIL I really understood his role in scientology. There is no way I will ever go to one of his movies knowing that my tix money would go to that cult.

I have always loved his movies. What people believe or not is none of my business.I wish him well.

He and Travolta both knights of Malta. That means that Miscavige is either a Jesuit or a knight of Malta. The vatican controlling scientology. Absolutely.

@@navyvet05 im aware of that, but somehow people always want more money. even 1 miilion is too much

[@marciapinheiro6283]

That could be a possibility. Yet, given the amount of criticism he gets because of Scientology, which means loss of capital, I reckon he would have to be a bit irrational to be just pretending, don't you think? I also think he is always very coherent and intelligent in what he says, so unlikely to be irrational there.

[@salihalbayrak-es8ky]

@@marciapinheiro6283 i mean, is critism coming from people that important? he's still getting big roles. and when i say that scientology pays him i mean A LOT of money, not like they throw in 100k once in a while but like 30 million every year or something

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

I'm just glad John Travolta finally came outta the closet, I just hope he leaves the cult in one piece.

[@DeanMackin-TNTRadio]

I'm certainly no Scientologist but the fact that you believe that their beliefs are any more crazy than that of other "established" religions shows that you truly lack perspective. I am Catholic so I have a reasonable insight into what other religions teach. If you want to talk about influence or the "damage" that Scientology has or could do then again I think you need to seriously have a look at other religions and the chaos over the centuries that surround them. How long a religion has been around or how many followers they have shouldn't make one lose perspective of what each preaches and how believable (or not) it is and the amount of damage that has been done allegedly by these Scientologists pales in comparison with what other religions have accomplished over the centuries. It's not even close.

[@trentboultoriginal]

And considering the ranks and stardom of Tom Cruise, he woula bern friends with top Roman popes if he's a Catholic. I wonder whats worse him being a Scientologist or a Muslim/Christian. I don't think he's a weirdo,he does what he believes in.

I try not to consume any of his content by my own choice. I wont go out of my way to watch anything hes in however for example, during my bff's bridesmaids party she paid for all of us to see Top Gun Maverick, so IMO that's fine bc it wasnt my money or doing, if that makes any sense lmao but then I enjoy his art and craft.

Public for the last 10 years Scientology never comes up in any interview and you never see him out promoting it. He cares more for making films and entering the audience so I respect him for that.

He has already been a Catholic. He was going to be a priest. I think the scandal would be the same, for people seem to be against religion in the higher levels of society for some reason.

[@trentboultoriginal]

@marciapinheiro6283 he was a Catholic before he was Tom Cruise, and if he was a Catholic today, he'd be friends with Roman Pope or the King of the pedos. He'll make donations to the Catholic Church, and people will regard TC as a sane,humble,benevolent pious man.

We must notice that the only person whose identity we have access to that accused Tom of practicing white slavery doesn't really let us know what she did that made her think she was a slave when with him.
