The Wildest Tom Cruise Interviews Ever

Publish date: 2024-05-06

As one of Scientology's most famous proponents, Tom Cruise's involvement with the religion has been well-documented. So, it's entirely unsurprising that the actor has, well, enthusiastically, discussed his commitment to Scientology in multiple interviews throughout his career. In 2004, for example, the Jerry Maguire star opened up about the matter to The Guardian, saying, "Some people, well, if they don't like Scientology, well, then, f**k you." Apparently, the three-time Oscar nominee only got more animated about his beliefs as he discussed what he might say to a non-believer, with the journalist explaining, "He rises from the table. 'Really.' He points an angry finger at the imaginary enemy. 'F**k you.' His face reddens."

Cruise's intensity only continued throughout the interview. "Yeah, I lose my cool. But I'm not a hothead," the movie star revealed. "I'm not someone who screams at people. It takes a lot. It depends on the situation, know what I mean? You look at something and you think, 'How much is it going to take to get it done?'" Clearly, Cruise is a man of passion — but don't even think about criticizing Scientology when he's around.
