That's how pilots are. Calm, collect, confident and truthful. That is required when it comes to being responsible for other people's lives, and his own. That's a pilot I would trust.

I'm NOT an Indian bot but I absolutely LOVE'S saar Cruise. Favourite action man evers no doubting. Good and honest man of the gods within our kingdoms.

Nice Tom... smart guy, must have been his time living in Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦 attending Robert Hopkins, don't you think?

In the words of Dr. Rick Marshall’s newest book, Matt Lauer can suck it 🤣🤣

I agree with him on t h e psychological part and the drugs

Tom is a Class Act... Enought Said.

The guy is an idiot, proper tool, dosn,t want to have a conversation just wants to dump his BS opinion on interviewer. Narcissistic psychopath.


@@CCBrady

I wish you wouldn’t talk over Tom. I would have loved to have heard what he had to say, but you kept interrupting 😳Tom is absolutely gorgeous and just keeps getting better looking every year 🥰🥰🥰

Thats how a gentleman handles pressure

Why even waste time having a so called interview?


@@localmarketingwiz4876

I am an Australian and can’t help but notice some of the most cringeworthy questions come from the creeps we call Australian ‘journalists’, they continue to pump this kind of ‘interviewing’ out whilst banning some of the world’s best from entering our country!

TOM. Where did you and David hide Shelly Miisgaive's body!? We don't care you and David have been lovers for decades. Ĥer family deaerves her remains.


@@ATLJonathanH

He’s an actor he shouldn’t be giving medical advice.


@@Iscannon

This is a stupid video in general, but Cruise was just wrong on the second point. He doesn't know what he's talking about, he's just parroting Scientology's stance on drugs.


@@careyawalker

Tom Cruise = Scientology
Scientology = MKUltra
Now, do the research. Tom is NOT a good guy.


@@Jollykinsss

I could never stand him but what he said about psychiatry is admirable: too many mask whatever is wrong.


@@k-member

I find him interesting


@@happygirl8298

Ellen is nasty and Matt Lauer is a sleazy jerk. And why is Kimmel’s desk positioned so much higher than the guest chairs? These idiot interviewers deserve what they get.


@@ueckbueck

He never hesitated to speak out for the weak, and I was deeply moved by his sense of justice…

I feel like Tom has been playing a character his entire life.


@@vihtoripuurola3775

I had no idea. He ate these fools for lunch.


@@Ca-mo4bp

Gosh talk about over explaining; the narration itself consumed more than half of the actual footage; this clip could have been ~6 mins and just as impactful. Viewers just wanted to see tom not an overly curated spoonfed narrative; give people some credit they can make their own inferences not told how to react…


@@kennethlapointesongwriter3330

He has integrity. So if someone else doesn't...they'll quickly find out about it.


@@ddld8182

What total rubbish. The guy can't act and is so damn arrogant. What you call dismantling the question I call total rudeness and arrogance. If he is so damn wonderful why does he not actually answer questions honestly about scientology. The ultimate cult that has security cameras everywhere and threatens anyone who goes near them. At the end of the day he makes rubbish films that try to emulate James Bond and fail. If he was a gifted doctor that saved ;peoples lives he would deserve some respect. When people are dying and starving all over the world he does stupid stunts that are meaningless. He could use his fame to try and stop the war in Ukraine or tell Trump what an idiot he is. But no his is just rude to anyone who dares to ask him a question. He is only there to promote his meaningless films and they have to ask him questions. It would be reasonable to ask why his wives have walked out on him. If he is Mr Wonderful why do they do that? I think they should ask him why he does nothing useful with his fame!

Tom is..... Amazing

Just One Word: scientology

He is exercising what he has learned defending Scientology. He is well practiced. Not a big.


@@belter7

He could have said, yes. Yes Nicole was the love of my life


@@guitarwithtom6041

It’s interesting as I see a lot of Tom’s responses as over sensitive and lacking in comprehension of humour. He then attacks the interviewer as a diversion. I wouldn’t necessarily see this as masterful, more a diversionary tactic. He does handle himself well with tone and delivery.


@@joethompson2910

Too bad scientology made him weird…

I respect much about Tom Cruise, however some of his Scientology beliefs are a negative.

He was exactly correct about anti-depressants.

He handled all these thoughtless interviewers so brilliant 👏 I was so impressed he didn't put up with that bs. Shut down very personal things. Good for him.

@@aggi999

Some of these were just normal interactions, not sure why you included them and said they were awkward when they weren't awkward at all. Maybe it's awkward in the states but you can hear that when the interviewer was british or australian, the questions weren't awkward, it's only awkward to americans
