Tom Cruise reads the Top Ten on Letterman

Tom Cruise was on David Letterman last night, where he read the Top Ten list the “Craziest Things People Say About Tom Cruise on The Internet.” Cruise came across as both good natured and funny. I really hate to say this, but Cruise seems somewhat normal and likable in his recent interviews and has marginally redeemed himself in my eyes. We are strong supporters of Anonymous here, and we are aware of the Mafia-like tactics of Scientology. It is a cult that kills, ruins lives and rips apart families, but even evil dictators can smile and court the press. Maybe that helps explains why Cruise is so fascinated with Hitler.

Cruise said that reading the Top Ten List on Letterman was on his “bucket list” of things to do. He laughed to himself when he read the subject of the list and you could tell it was his first time reading it:

“Top Craziest Things People Say About Tom Cruise on The Internet.”

10. I sleep upside-down suspended in a special bat-like harness.
9. During the filming of “Days of Thunder” on a dare I ate a tire.
8. I still wear those underpants from “Risky Business”
7. My real name is Tom Blagojevich
6. I once heimliched a koala. (Cruise needed help with ‘heimliched.’)
5. Once a month, I take the Universal studio tour naked.
4. I believe all emotional and psychological disorders can be cured with Vicks Vaporub.
3. I’m a power mad egomaniac who is completely insulated from reality. Oh wait, no that’s Letterman.
2. After jumping on her couch, Oprah hammer-locked me til I coughed blood.
1. I keep a cell phone in my pants so I can tell friends “Call my ass.”

I watched the interview and they showed a lot of photos of Cruise and his family including him looking scary as a wrestler at 16, and dressed up as Santa last year. There was also a picture of him posing with Paul Newman in their racing jackets. He said “he taught me how to race cars, I think so he could beat me.”

Cruise also talked about his first jobs selling cards door to door and bagging ice at age eight. He said he had to stand right in the ice machine and that he was freezing cold, but he did it to earn money to go to the movies.

He still looks way too thin to me but a lot of you are saying he’s hotter super small like that. He’s also much more appealing when he sticks to talking about his movies and telling benign stories, and he seems to have realized that.
