Did you really expect him to act crazy again? A humbled and controlled Tom Cruise appeared on “Today” this morning for another interview with Matt Lauer.
Actor Tom Cruise is still willing to talk about the controversial religion he practices, but he acknowledged Monday that his 2005 rant about Scientology on TODAY came off as “arrogant,” and said he regretted that.
“I’m here to entertain people,” the actor told TODAY’s Matt Lauer Monday in New York. “That’s who I am and what I want to do.”
Some 3½ years ago, Cruise and Lauer engaged in a pointed and intense debate about psychiatry and antidepressants in the same TODAY studio. At one point, Cruise told Lauer, “You’re glib” — a line that launched a thousand tabloid headlines.
Cruise called his comments on that day a mistake. “I learned a lesson,” he told Lauer. “I think I learned a really good lesson.”
