Cruise Walks Out of Interview with Swedish Reporter - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Zebra 3 · 04-19-2006, 11:16 AM

(Studio Briefing) Tom Cruise reportedly walked out of an interview with a reporter for the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet Söndag recently after the reporter questioned him about his claim that Scientology had helped him overcome dyslexia. As reported by MSNBC.com's gossip columnist Jeannette Walls, Cruise laughed when the reporter, Björn Benkow, cited experts as saying that dyslexia could not be cured by Scientology's methods, then said that he had to "admit that you have the courage of a madman. ... This is something no journalist has dared say to me face-to-face. ... Your cynical media colleagues cast doubt over all the good that we do by spreading a bunch of hocus pocus about us." When Nicole Kidman's name later came up, Cruise reportedly cut the interview short, remarking, "Now you've gone over the line." In an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer on Friday, Kidman's name was never brought up in the interview, leading to speculation that a condition of the interview was that she not be mentioned.

Why?

From the way he's been acting recently (trying to convert the world and all) I'd say he deserves whatever he gets.

I hope his daughter Suri will at least get a chance to have a mind of her own before getting brainwashed into Scientology.

I think a lot of reporters are going to try to push Tom's buttons by asking him questions about scientology, his ex-wife, etc.
