Tom Cruise goes on Oprah
Katie Holmes leaves her Manhattan hotel with daughter Suri and husband Tom on Saturday. Tom recently went back on the Oprah Winfrey Show to set straight what happened on Oprah’s couch about three years ago.
On jumping up and down declaring his love for Katie Holmes….
“I just felt that way, and I feel that way about her. I can’t even articulate it, to be honest,” he adds. That feeling, that connection. Just who she is and what she means to me.”
Why they kept daughter Suri hidden for so long….
“We just want to have our baby, have the kids and everyone get to know Suri, get the family up here and just chill and have that time that you never get back. You don’t ever get those moments back. Kate and I didn’t feel any need to [rush] it. We said, ‘Why? It’s our family.’ We just were on Suri time.”
On his cloudy reputation….
“Listen I, I feel like definitely things have been misunderstood, and there are things I could have done better. But then there’s also that world where you go, ‘Oh, it’s been spun to such an extent that … that’s a truth also. Knowing when and where to communicate, I think that’s important. A lot of times I was nervous giving interviews. Or I wasn’t sometimes as comfortable about things. And I realized that it’s okay. There’s stuff you have to just let go. I just have to do the best I can.”
On his marriage to Katie Holmes being a fake….
“That’s laughable to me. You just know that they’re trying to sell it and spin it.”
I can totally understand the whole Suri thing. Being a celebrity, your life is already exposed so much that I’m sure you want to cherish the private moments and keep them sacred for as long as you can. And if that involves keeping you baby in the house, then that’s what you have to do!
I think this interview with Oprah really set some things straight. I’m still not sure about the guy, but at least I don’t get nervous every time I see a picture anymore!
