When we talk about Tom Cruise, the first thing that comes to mind are all the action sequences that the actor has done without the help of a professional stuntman, then comes all the films that he has done. Considered to be one of the most daring and brave actors in the industry with guts of steel to pull off stunts on his own, most might think of him as an adrenaline junkie who lives off the thrills of doing borderline deadly action sequences.
But what people might not know about theTop Gunactor is the fact that along with his addiction to action, he also possesses a quirky side to him which is generally eclipsed beneath his persona. This side of him was once revealed to the public during his interview with Oprah Winfrey, where it seemed like the actor was going hog wild. But later, it was revealed that this was all just a staged act which was to make him look like he had lost it on set.
Tom Cruise Was Set Up By Oprah Winfrey To Appear Like He Had Lost His Mind
The interview in this conversation took place in 2005 in theTom Cruise Oprah Special,which was a segment where Oprah Winfrey brought out the big guns and invited the very talented action hero Tom Cruise to the studio, where the pair had wanted to start a conversation to give the public insights into theMission Impossiblestar’s life. But as the whole Hollywood industry would soon come to know, this was not going to be a typical Winfrey interview.
During the interview, audiences were dumbfounded to see Cruise get overexcited during his conversation with Winfrey to the point that he jumped on top of the couch in the middle of talking to her, and a whole lot of other things that looked like he was losing his mind by just being there. This was the general consensus that the star had taken too many injuries to the head while performing the action sequences that made him act the way he did. But duringThe Howard Stern Show,Seth Rogen revealed that Cruise had a couple of things to say about the infamous interview. During his strange meeting with Rogen, Cruise said:
“Well, yeah, they’re making it seem like I’m losing my mind, there’s a coordinated effort to make it appear that way. They edited it to make it look so much worse than it was. They do that all the time.”
What Is Next For Tom Cruise?
As can be expected by the legend, Tom Cruise is known to turn any project that he touches into a masterpiece. From taking on foes one after the other in theMission Impossibleseries to reviving an old classic in the modern age with the blockbuster requelTop Gun: Maverick,there’s nothing that is impossible for Cruise. With the 7th installment of theMission Impossiblefranchise on its way, it seems like we might just get another installation of theTop Gunseries as well.
