4. Tom Cruise Embarrasses Himself (Again)
But hopping on Oprah’s couch wasn’t even the lowest of Tom’s interview moments. Later that same year, he appeared on The Today Show with Matt Lauer to discuss War of the Worlds and his engagement toKatie Holmes. Things took a turn for the weird when Lauer and Cruise began discussing Scientology and then prescription drugs for postpartum depression. Earlier that year, Cruise and Brooke Shields had been bickering in the media about prescription meds and the topic was clearly a sore subject for Cruise. Before Lauer knew it, Cruise became extremely defensive while arguing his point, and called Lauer “glib”. Despite the drama, Lauer has said in recent years that Cruise has been nothing but friendly to him and that the two have a great relationship.
