Tom Cruise Opens Up About How Great He Is

Did you catch the Tom Cruise interview last Wednesday? The one where he talked about Scientology and about how he’s such a caring and great guy? Did you know people send him letters to thank him for being such a great guy? It’s true.

It was quite an eye opening interview. I never really understood just how great Tom Cruise is until he told me. What really convinced me was when he leaned into the camera and got a really serious look in his eyes. Then he said (in a real low voice so I knew he was serious), “I care about people. I care about you.” Then he pointed all around and said, “I care about you, and you, and you, and everyone in this room.”

Wow. Tom really cares. I was blown away. Here all this time I just thought he was an egotistical movie star that only cared about filling his pockets with gold bars and thousand dollar bills. But that’s not the case.

Mostly he just wants kids to get off prescription drugs. That’s actually the message that gets him all the letters of overwhelming appreciation. I guess a lot of people never knew that things like Ritalin were bad for their kids until Tom Cruise said something about it in an interview (in between takes on the set of his latest movie about Aliens destroying the world).

But it’s true. He said that people really do send him letters thanking him for telling them that Ritalin is bad. And they also tell him he’s great. They don’t send letters to the people that actually sacrificed years of their lives doing research. They send letters to Tom Cruise who takes a limo to a studio to give a ten minute interview.

Tom went on to say that people tell him how he changed their lives. They tell him that he even saved their families. And Tom went into even more detail on the subject by saying, “Me, me, me, me, me, second coming of Jesus, me, me, me.” And when he was asked why he’s finally speaking out, he said, “Me, me, me, me, me.”

It was really a touching interview. I think that the neatest part was that Tom knew he was pressed for time, so he didn’t waste a second to tell anyone that he didn’t do any of the really hard work to find out just how bad prescription medicine is. So he skipped giving any credit to anyone but himself. It was really a neat moment, especially when he summed it up with, “Me, me, me, me, me.”

It really convinced me that I was wrong about Tom Cruise. He’s more than a greedy movie star that acts retarded on Oprah. He’s a great, great, super great guy. And I never would have known that if he didn’t take a few minutes to tell me. So from the bottom of my heart, thanks Tom.
