You say from one side of your face that Tom Cruise was right about how doctors are overmedicating children with dangerous, addictive, drugs, then out of the other side of your face you say Tom Cruise was too "rude", to be considered a sane man. What you are actually saying is: you are incapable of acknowledging difficult truths and acting on them in a responsible manner to protect innocent children, because you are more worried about what society considers polite behavior, and you are more worried about how you appear in society in that context. All you did by disparaging Tom Cruise in this video is reveal what a coward and a hypocrite you are. Cowards and hypocrites like you are why this world is as corrupt as it is. You attack a man who has the courage to stand up, because you, a coward, thinks only an insane man would waste any time being brave and openly and madly in love with a woman. Your next video should be about what a coward you are.
Actually, Tom didn't divorce Katie! Just the opposite! Katie dumped his ass in a drama filled, well orchestrated "escape" planned by Katie's father who ironically is a divorce lawyer. The drama that unfolded in that split was like a script from one of Cruise's movies! It was planned & pulled off with "military like" precision. They only had one chance to get it right without the Scientology goon squad finding out! It was an iron clad agreement! Thank God her dad was as high powered as he was, and Katie was too well known for her to "disappear". Suri was just approaching the age when Scientologists have to surrender their kids to the "Scientology school dormitories" and all their "fuckery", completely isolated from all parents! Katie's dad and his firm absolutely & literally saved their lives! 🙌🏼
I'm kicking myself, got it wrong, quite a few comments on that. But I knew I'd get something wrong in a 10 min video...still, wish I could go in and change it. Thanks Noka!
I've always wondered if the divorce settlement included she couldn't talk about scientology or act again. I really want to hear her story, I have a feeling she's a godsend to Siri's life even though we don't hear about her.
Correction, he did not divorce her, Katie Holmes performed the perfect escape from her husband and saved her daughter from Scientology. You do not leave Scientology, you escape! I know from my own 30-years in. And now 14-years out.
Way to go! Good for you! Thanks to Leah Remini many more are escaping and hopefully will continue to do so! What Katie did for her daughter demonstrates the indescribable love a mother has for her child.
It just struck me that you are wearing a black turtleneck! I will not accept that this is a coincidence. Well done on the whimsical wink to a famous, ridiculous promotional video for Scientology, starring a certain extremely overrated madman. Your videos are riveting, thank you for all your hard work!
Aw thank you so much!!! And you know what, I didn't even think of that, but it was the first time I wore my new jumper haha. I think it might have been a subconscious thing, it just felt right to wear, while doing it.
@@AndrewGold1 I don’t know… that choice in black turtleneck might be Scientology slowly seeping into your subconscious. If we see you jumping on a couch in your next posted video, we’ll know for sure! 😂 Well done!
I don’t understand how Tom Cruise is still so popular. I literally can’t watch him in movies because I don’t see the character he’s playing, I just see crazy, cultish, Tom Cruise in every role. Also, knowing that if I spend money on a film that he’s in, that money makes it’s way into his pocket, then into Scientology’s coffers, then into destroying lives and I’m not willing to be part of that.
@@yolandacroes5491 I think the last movie I saw of his was A Few God Men, and even in that Jack Nicholson took the spotlight. And Demi Moore. I can't stand Tom Cruise... he's a phony and I can't stand them (even if they're acting lol... yes, I do see the irony).
AND,that creepy scary too big never ending smile.only time I ever appreciated something he did,was when they made him up to be that fat sweaty singing dude.
You would never see anything. He would crumble momentarily, and in private, then instantly reconstitute as if nothing ever happened. It is how all narcissists respond when they are called out into realization.
I don’t know if anyone has already mentioned this, but Peter Overton (60 Minutes Australia interview) grew up next door to Nicole Kidman, and they have always remained somewhat friends, which is what started the original frostiness between Peter and Tom and why Peter had no issue with trying to get under his skin to begin with.
Interesting Peter and Nicole were part of the elite cults and freemasons in OZ. You don't get famous in OZ without being part of it. Look up Fiona Barnett and her evidence against the Kidmans.
I think that's wrong. I read an article that said the tax exemption was jerk right outta Miscaviage's dirty little hands. I hope I read that right. They are obviously not a religion, but a cult. Money sure does have way too much power in our world. They should all fear for their soul.
What and Christianity can still be? All religions are mental but there is so much money to be made so all the powerful people get involved with them, that's why.
@@b00ts4ndc4ts Can we put the teenage edginess aside. Christians help millions if people. I'm an Atheist but I help with a Christian charity. We do clothing drives, Sleeping bag handouts, food, drink, phones etc. 1 of tens of thousands. You can go to church.. or not. Scientology uses child labour, imprison people and ships kids around the world.. whilst brainwashing and bribing people out of all of their money. Charging people more the more they can read. In Christianity, they'll hand you a bible, the whole thing. For free. Not charge 2 million to read the final chapter. Comparing the two is just dishonest.
@@realMaverickBuckley everything that you have mentioned you can do without being a Christian. Don't forget the church has been involved in one of the biggest child sex scandals, so it's not all prayers and jam is it?
That was such obvious fakery. I watched with my mouth open, and couldn't believe anyone took it seriously. He was acting like a lunatic, and don't even get me started on that creepy grin of his. Have you noticed that it never reaches his eyes? No matter how hard he grins, his eyes are always cold. Ugh.
I'm extremely embarrassed and ashamed to admit that I was involved in Scientology back in the 80's. Tom Cruise is typical of the kind of people I knew at my local Church (Cult) of Scientology. I've never been in one place where there were so many ignorant and low class people, who pressure and intimidate members when trying to sell them services or recruiting them to join staff full time. Staff members in Scientology work 7 days a week for little or no pay. I appreciate that Andrew refers to Scientology as a cult and not the 'church' and 'religion' that it pretends to be.
That's the thing with religions though. It's their job to rope you in. I don't think you should feel any shame in getting involved, it says a lot about your character to question your own beliefs and join and even more impressive, question your beliefs AGAIN and leave. Way to go man. 🫂
Don't feel embarrassed. You woke up out of scientology's heavy abusive brainwash gaslighting. That takes extreme strength and courage knowing exactly how scientology works against those who have seen their truth and left. Enjoy your free life and I hope you are happy. Also, other ex scientologists use their knowledge to help expose the mega cult and educate the public.
The way Tom has treated Suri is pure narcissism. All the love bombing, then dropping her like a stone. The daughter he once couldn’t praise highly enough. Thank God Katie is her mother, because she’s got her head on straight. The bravery of that girl, getting the hell out of that marriage, that environment…I actually cheered for her that day, it was the same way I felt when I saw that great photo of Nicole Kidman giving a cry of joy the day her divorce was final.
Any smart and responsible girl wouldn't have got involved with Tom Cruise in the first place. Let alone birthing a kid with him. What Katie did was just damage control.
We have arrogant people like Tom Cruise because we made him that way. We gave him the power. I have seen one Tom Cruise movie in my life and I'll never watch another 😆
true, he is the epitome of someone who became too famous, too wealthy, too successful, too easy and too fast and it's because of us the public, then again, he thinks he is so special it's ONLY RIGHT that we the public made him, IN fact, i think he doesn't even recognize anymore without us, then now and forever, he would be nothing...he gives scientology all the credit for his success (never mind private life failure!) and yet he was a superstar before he ever even heard of scientology! that is what is so so odd!...
I loved Tom Cruise movies until he made that absolutely SH!TTY movie Vanilla Sky. It was then that I realized he didn’t care what he put out and was taking advantage of people who went to watch it because of his name. He really is a sucky actor and I refuse to watch any movie he is in.
It makes sense. Katie was always just a prop for Tom and Scientology.. Beautiful Hollywood wife, check. Cute baby to prove that Tom isn't shooting blanks, check.
As the proverb goes, a bowl is most useful when it is empty. What makes Cruise the "perfect" actor is that he is a husk, an empty shell. He literally has no self beyond the role he is playing. This also makes him the perfect cult member. Outside of acting, he would implode if Scientology (or similar) wasn't there to fill the void. There's no difference between Cruise acting in a movie and doing Scientology - he is simply the embodiment of whatever role is poured into him.
That is a perfect description of tiny Tom. He seems hallow and empty with no real true substantive life beyond pretending to be a "manly man' stunt driven actor, whose movies also have no real depth and substance. He can't even laugh sincerely. His actions in public are clearly over the top. That Opra interview in which he acted like an insane (not mentally ill) fool wasn't anything close to He seems mega paranoid, explains his obsession with heavily controlling even interviews that should be fun and light hearted not acting like a know it all belittling interviewers because some are intelligent not to fawn over him and ask. legitimate questions. So, why has he been totally single since Katie divorced him? Her actions in divorcing hime is like the perfect escape. Most people don't have the luxury to know talented lawyers.
I think he's full of Tom Cruise, since that's the only role he can play. He has zero range as an actor. But the way his moron fans talk about him, you'd think he was Gary Oldman.
The weirded-out moment wasn't just Tom Cruise's contrived jumping up and down expression of his "love" for Katie, but also Oprah's and the audience laughing and applauding along with the bizarre behavior. It shows that we can all potentially be cultists.
@@Subfightr Cruise isn't schizophrenic though. He's just phony and righteous. He knew exactly what he was doing. Outside of that room, he just miscalculated how stupid he looked.
@@RA82828 *Any" other actor would do the same thing? There has never been any other actor done anything similar to what he did. So no. Had he just jumped up once, it would have been silly and fun. But the fact that he went on and on and then on some more. And then another time. It was very "odd" to say the *least*.
Am I the only person in the world that believes Cruise is a one dimensional actor? He’s a lightweight in comparison to Johnny Depp, Daniel Day Lewis, Anthony Hopkins, Niles Crain, Jude Law. Cruise can play one role very well; the big screen action movies. A true actor dares to do Broadway .To my knowledge, he’s never done Broadway where the critics are fierce.
He is just himself in every movie. He hasn’t really expressed much dimension in most of his films. Are those films entertainment? A lot of the times they are good enough for one viewing.
He's more of a movie star than an actor. He gets a lot of the best scripts and working with talented directors due to his celebrity and the fact that he's had a lot of hits at the box office. He rarely ever stars in actual drama's anymore he really just does sci fi and action movies to get the big paydays. Seven Mission Impossible films, etc.
I remember watching that episode on Oprah back in the day. Tom Cruise jumping on the couch was such an odd over-the-top moment. Your video provides essential context - it wasn’t all about Tom being crazy in love with Katie; it was about him tripping out on a Scientology power high. While that doesn’t make it make sense, because after all Scientology is involved, it does provide clarity as to what was actually going on in that bizarre moment. Thank you.
The interview that Tom gave to Oprah at his Telluride cabin shows how quickly his excitement lasted..Katie was there long enough to say hello to Oprah,and then she supposedly took the kids into town so that he could chat with Oprah..The interview took place right after the first pictures of a baby Suri had been released to the public..I just found it odd that Katie was not allowed to be interviewed with Tom..Also if you look at their body language you can tell that the relationship was already basically over ..Katie even I love you during their brief exchange at the door and Tom just mumbled something under his breath..I found that entire exchange even crazier than the way he was acting while coach hopping.. 🙄. Katie is a smart lady and I am sure Tom still See's red whenever, he thinks about the way she dumped him is brought up..
Nothing you said makes sense to me. There's always an agenda tho with the big power house stars. It was probably planned by Tom to jump but he surprised his handler. His relationship with Katie was necessary in his mind to prove he's still got it after Nicole. Supposedly he divorced Nic, she did not want to leave. So in comes naive Katie. I still can't figure Katie's motive out. She did not ever become a big bankable star. Tom may have control over her career.
An old friend of mine (since first grade till today) was captured by the Scientology trap in the late 60s. Ten years later, when he figured it out, he left. The "church" hounded him directly and on the phone for twenty years. He fled to a different State and forever thereafter had unlisted numbers.
Wow, I'm glad he left. But, it's so sad that he had to flee and basically get a new identity. I can't imagine how terrifying that must of been or still is. Sending prayers.
I saw him jumping on Oprahs couch as incredulity rude and arrogant I don't view anything with him in it this clip came up in my feed and I wanted to post how I feel about him.I quit watching him after he attacked Brooke Shields. Post partial depression is a serious and deadly disease psychotic depression Brooke was trying to help people by going public about this illness.Shame on him for his tirade .😢
There were also other things going in Tom Cruise's life at that time. The kind of thing if you printed them he would sue for $100 million. Which is why it was so important to make it look like Tom Cruise was mad in love with a woman. It worked too, we stopped talking about that other thing and just how nuts Tom Cruise was.
Tom was always pissed off at somebody for teasing him with the gay card. he should have lightened up and not become so indignant when confronted with the subject. the fact that he let it be known that it angered him.....hello!!
What's really weird is how he got his entire family, including his mother, into this cult. I get they would join to keep him happy but they seem to have been completely brain washed by it too. Scary how this cult can brain wash an entire family!
I would say though that Kate was the one who divorced Tom which might sound a small thing but she had to actually plan an escape from him... Apart from That all pretty spot on Andrew
@@AndrewGold1 it's not really a biggie Andrew. Just personally don't want cruise getting any credit for anything especially as he hasn't anything to do with his daughter.
@@markbridgewater4918 you are right! Oh well, you're right too that it's not such a biggie, but I spent a long time putting it together, and I wish I'd phrased it differently!
He did it on every talk show he went on in that time period...I saw him do it on a clip from Ellen as well, and other shows. So immature. It was horrible acting as well. I could tell he was over exaggerating his feelings ridiculously. He NEEDS psychology and is a rude and self entitled asshat. I have refused to watch movies that he is in his entire career. He never appealed to me because he always had that arrogant attitude under his surface charm.
Why does no one talk about how weird it is that Katie auditioned to be his gf in the first place? At an interview conducted by his church? And then she even married him and had a child with him? She’s just as weird!
@@hannahreynolds7611 okay then at the end when they say okay you got the job and you get to date Tom Cruise any normal same person would say wtf you weirdos and walk away. She’s just as weird!
@@prettyinpinky5937 well she was only 23 when they married. People don't always think clearly at that age. Also she had had a crush on him for years. I imagine she thought because of his fame, he had to be careful who he associated with, or maybe it was spun that way. I'm just glad she came to her senses.
@@JuliaGulia310 Few Hollywood marriages are about love. They happen too quickly and divorce too quickly. Maybe they are lonely people living in a hyper-sensitized world, where any positive emotion becomes a drug.
@@AndrewGold1 i kniw nothing about making making videos on youtube, can you add a comment so people aee it first under comments? Her escape (divorce) from him is big
@@merricat3025 no one will see it though. it happens all the time, I realise things after releasing! But I'm ok with it, at least it isn't a huge factual error. Just a bit annoying. Oh well!
This horrible little man is a monster Katie showed the world what a great mother she is by literally putting herself in danger to save her daughter from this awful cult. Thank goodness Katie has such a caring father and Sufi has a grandfather that obviously loves her very much. You only have to see what’s happened to Shelly Miscavige to know how scared Katie must have been for herself & her daughter.
@@revertinthemaking You're assuming he didn't try, but you don't know that he didn't. Katie was a grown woman, who was old enough to decide who she was going to marry. Her father may have tried to warn her off and she could have told him to shut up or he'd never see her again and in the end, he could have just made sure that she knew he was there if/when she needed him. Now that's all an assumption but that scenarios is just as likely as yours where he didn't care enough to even try. The fact is that we don't know what all happened because Katie has never talked about it, which is precisely why I believe that she and Tom came to an agreement where she promised to forever keep her mouth shut about their relationship, Scientology, David Miscaviage etc, in return for her and Suri's freedom and no harassment from the cult of Scientology.
@@tammyrogers9129 well obviously she wasn’t. She married him. She had a child with him. Neither of these things would have happened had she believed that Cruise really was the poison dwarf that he is, at least one hopes not. I think she completely underestimated the power Scientology had and Cruises enthusiastic embrace of the cult and love of his position within Scientology. I wonder if maybe she imagined that he really loved her and that Suri would close the deal……which she did, but not in the manner expected. The poison dwarf made it very clear that he was really married to Scientology first, and Ms Holmes and her daughter came a lot lower down the totem pole.
When I saw that Australian interview, my whole opinion of Cruise changed. What a jerk, he has an overinflated sense of himself and his cult. Never enjoyed any of his movies after that
Hm I dunno if I buy that I think he just did it because he thought people would think it was adorable how in love he was when in reality he looked like an idiot lol
I think he was jumping up and down on the couch proclaiming his insane love for Katie Holmes because this was his way of trying, desperately, to tell the world he wasn't gay despite the fact that there were rumors of it.
I'm proud to say I've never watched a Tom Cruise film. I don't find him attractive and hate Scientology. His antics on the Oprah couch were utterly childish, and unbecoming of a man of his age.
When orka found out tom's wedding date, she cleared her calendar, but guess what? She wasn't invited bc cruise wanted to separate himself from the crazy couch episode, LOL.
The film "Eyes wide shut" nearly freed him from the cult, one of his best parts where he is really acting, no narcissistic, just a lost man. Surely he was lost at this point and Kubrick turned his pain into a masterpiece. He could have been saved at this moment.
Love that movie, also fun fact in a scene in that movie when toms character is at the young girls apartment she has an introduction to Scientology book on her desk.
Interesting point! I never thought about that, but I see it! I also wonder how Elizabeth Moss can do The Handmaids Tale and not see the coercive system she supports in every scene? Denial aint just a river in Egypt I guess.
Nicole Kidman's father was in the cult of child sacrifice. Look up Australian ,Fiona Barnett. Kidman is not innocent to any of it. He was being investigated in Australia and freaked out, escaped to his other daughter in SIngapore and had a heart attack. Perhaps the DS in Oz were turning on their own, they didn't want Nicole's father to expose them so perhaps they killed him. But he could have died of a heart attack. Kubrick was exposing them in 'Eyes Wide Shot' and was probably wiped out. Scientology is just part of all the evil elite cults. Just different versions.
th-cam.com/video/-kNdNC-2wPU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=hello%2CI%27mprojet19 You can see a subliminal shot of Katie Holmes here at 0:40 in this clip from Vanilla Sky. The movie came out in 2001 and Tom and Katie were seen in public in 2005. Just a bit creepy.
I just saw it as the usual scripted Hollywood entertainment - all performed for effect. It would have been dull and uninspiring if Tom had sat calmly on the couch, and simply smiled and said, "Yeah, I guess I really love Katie". I get weirded out by the number of people that watch this sort of drivel, and all the "reality" shows like "The Bachelor". Who do you really think are worse, the fake performers that get paid to do it, or the mind-numbed viewers that pay to watch it.
@@aliensoup2420 that whole "jump on couch" moment was a HUGE "no more" for me watching ANYTHING Tom Cruise from then on. Absolutely stupidity at its finest and won't go back to watching that fool.
I am Katie's age and also had the hugest crush on Tom for a long time. I was super jealous when they got together but after all the huge shows of affection and over the top comments of each other, it just seemed scripted. It wasn't real love, it was convenient for both. When Shelly was brought up at the wedding and the whole big deal it caused for Leah Remini it showed that there is so much more to scientology than meets the eye and it needs to be avoided at all costs. I'm glad Katie got out before they took her daughter from her and so happy that she and Suri are much better without big time Tom, who I now do not at all have crush but only sadness for Tom.
It's sad in a way that he is so deeply into this cult but I also blame him for not being willing to see how this cult hurts so many people. He is treated like an extreme VIP and given everything while others lose live savings and family and are destroyed. He turns a blind eye because it's good for him. I can pity him a tiny bit but I mostly have no respect for him.
Some people did - the problem is that it's a completely ineffective strategy to try and get someone to stop spreading misinformation, or to get people to stop consuming that misinformation. Flat Earthers don't stop talking about the flat earth when someone points out they failed science in school. Creationists don't stop promoting creationism when people point out they aren't evolutionary biologists. Joe Rogan didn't stop spreading misinformation about the vaccine when literally hundreds of reporters pointed out he has no medical qualifications whatsoever. What DOES stop them spreading that misinformation is when them spreading it hurts their bank balance. What made Tom Cruise shut up about scientology and psychiatry was not being called out for it - it was the fact that it became harder for him to land roles in major films while he was publicly promoting scientology and attacking psychiatry.
I call him box office poison I can’t watch a movie if he is in it. In fact if I find out any actors are Scientologist it turns me off them they are very cruel people.
Omg! That's not at all what I read. I believe it though. I remember a few years later Nicole Kidman was asked about the couch incident and she said "I don't believe it." But because she's so lovely, (and also too good for Tom Cruise), she went on to say that she wishes him the best. He was a complete idiot to give her up, but it worked out better for her because I'm pretty sure Keith Urban isn't tapping her phone. 👍😄 Ohhh my days! I was sure it had to do with _War Of The Worlds._ I guess you can't believe every rag mag. Thanks Andrew. 👍
If my memory serves me correctly the guy who squirted water at him from a fake microphone was a british comedian and actor called Paul Kaye in character as his alter ego "Dennis Pennis". He has also appeared in comedies such as "Zapped", "Not going Out" and "Mongrels" and brought out a full length film "R.I.P. Dennis Pennis". He accosted many celebrities in various ways and got way worse reactions than this one (he got slapped a few times). He most definately was not actually crying here. It was for his show. He's a funny guy, as long as you're really stoned.
This was way after Paul Kaye retired Dennis Pennis. It was actually part of a prank show for Channel Four called “Balls of Steel” and they had to issue a public apology to Tom. The show also famously pranked Sharon Osbourne who retaliated with a full ice bucket. Cheers.
More recently Tom Hanks was criticized for calling out fans who got too close to his wife. I think its a normal reaction. Doesn't mean I like him though.
I love this take! Not trying to defend Cruise or "blame" Oprah, obviously Cruise knew what he was doing but if you watch the entire unedited version, she does really encourage him- I guess to get the audience riled up? He was ostensibly there to talk about War of the Worlds but I wonder if Oprah had been briefed in advance that she was supposed to make it more about Katie and his personal life- I.e. scientology. There's an interesting "You're wrong about" podcast episode about this!
dude who are you??! i see you everywhere on here lol. and your content is great. yt finally rewarding decent ppl and not just ppl that watch kitchen nightmares while eating take away food. your subs will fly up
I might agree with everything except the water squirting microphone incident. It could've been acid for anyone knew. It was mind-blowingly stupid and I personally would've knocked the guys teeth out. Imagine if someone did that to a loved one. You would be enraged and rightfully so.
Agreed. That was the one part I'd have to agree with Tom's reaction. And the guy crying afterwards? 🙄 Perhaps his parents should have given him similar lectures when he was a child. The only time I've ever squirted something in someone's face, we were both playing with waterguns.
Larry Gaiters latest drop into the beginning of Scientology and what it's real purpose was mind blowing and horrific. Thank you for exposing these cults here. Your work is very needed
I will be waiting for the next video. Have been watching Leah Remini Scientology and the Aftermath amongst other things Scientology related the last few weeks. As horrifying as it all is I need to know more
I think this is the moment people realized that any time the public sees him Cruise is acting off screen as well. Both types of performances are characters and leave a lot to be desired.
Let me be clear, I am absolutely not a fan of Tom Cruise and yes he’s crazy, But what that guy did with the microphone was really uncalled for and I thought that Tom Cruise handled it pretty well. Of course he can’t lash out at him and punch the guy in the face on video because he is the spokesperson for Scientology.
The fact that these frauds are tax free makes me feel stupid actually paying my taxes. Of course, it's only one of countless reasons of why I question the Federal government's intentions or good faith.Just another example of how they cater to all the non essential elements of society.
Despite my earlier comments, I AGREE WITH TOM IN THE MATT LAUER INTERVIEW. Anyone would react the same, if you actually watch it. I listened while resting with my eyes closed. I AGREE WITH TOM ON THIS ONE.
Slightly off topic, but as good looking and charismatic (when he wants to be) as Tom Cruise is ... I find it interesting that there is no sexual chemistry between him and any of the leading ladies in his films ... not even Nicole Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut. There's something very troubling about him.
Put it simply I have never warmed or cared for Tom Cruise as a person or as an actor.Does anyone remember when the Scientologists where shoving that horrible book Dianetics down our throats on every street corner? I would just ignore them.
@Tom Cruise I am watching from Southern California. I am about 45 miles from the Scientology Celebrity Center. When you are driving on the 101 Hollywood Freeway You can see it. This cult is very prevalent in So Cal because of the film industry .
Way back before he became an A-list movie star, I had a hard time watching Mr. Cruise's movies (real last name is Mapother). My main reason is his narcissistic personality and he is just acting as himself in all his movies. Now, he is the face and poster boy of scientology and that's what I see in addition to his narcissism when I see his face. They are one and the same. Blame his first wife (and older) Mimi Rogers, who converted him when they got married. Interestingy, Mimi Roger's father was a friend of LRH.
I must say, I've never understood the appeal, or the longevity of Tom Cruise. He's not a great dramatic actor, he's not funny, he's not a convincing tough guy, he doesn't come across as warm or fatherly, his voice is irritating, his smile insincere.....etc. Anyway, thank you Andrew for exposing these criminal organisations.
@@AndrewGold1 Great!! awesome!! Is there a reason you are particularly interested in cults? We all know how destructive they are and how they ruin people's lives--but so do a lot of other things. I was wonder how you decided to focus on cults.
@@lesliewells1062 now THAT would be a good question for the next time I do a Q&A! The short answer is that I grew up Jewish and had to go to Sunday school to learn to read Hebrew. It wasn't in any way a cult, but I hated it, I hated the way we were supposed to revere the Rabbi or any other religious leader, even if they believed in gobbledeygook. And I hated how religions made us all different, and segregated us from one another!
@@AndrewGold1 Did you notice the guy down there commenting with the screen name Tom Cruise--pretending to be Tom Cruise? Wonder who it really is? Someone from scientology? Who knows. Just weird. I clicked on the thumbnail and there is no content at all. And the two comments I read are both identical in words and nonsensicalness!
@@AndrewGold1 Wow! That sounds pretty awful! I didn't know you did Q and As. I will have to try and watch next time you have one! I was in a cult for 28 years--from the time I was 16 when I joined against my family's wishes until I left when I was 44. I'm 61 now. It still affects me. The cult is called Branhamism by people who don't believe it and the End Time Message by those who do. Not many people know of its existence, but it has between two and four million members world wide. I read and watch as much as I can about cults. And what's so interesting is that superficially they are so different and diverse, but underneath they all use the same mind control techniques and fear to control people, so they really aren't different!!
It is so hard to see his arrogance and smugness ..I cannot stand people at all like this and keep them out of my life.. It is a shame a few of his films that I do enjoy i find harder and harder to re-watch anymore..
Everyone knows it is a sign of perfect mental health to jump up & down on somebody else's chairs with your dirty shoes, on national TV. HOW DID YOU MISS THIS?
So.... Tom-"Mission Impossible "-Cruise is afraid of water? And makes people cry for a little water squirt joke? Glad I never went to any of his movies. I like Keanu better, John Wick is more my style anyway. I love dogs too!
Let me know if you have any feedback - did I miss important details? Was any of it surprising? What should my next video be on?
I'd love to know more about David MisCavage. (sorry if that's misspelt)
You look like you are rocking the Boris Johnson hair today! lol
The only detail you missed was that sweater was a black crew neck, not a black turtleneck. 😂
You say from one side of your face that Tom Cruise was right about how doctors are overmedicating children with dangerous, addictive, drugs, then out of the other side of your face you say Tom Cruise was too "rude", to be considered a sane man. What you are actually saying is: you are incapable of acknowledging difficult truths and acting on them in a responsible manner to protect innocent children, because you are more worried about what society considers polite behavior, and you are more worried about how you appear in society in that context. All you did by disparaging Tom Cruise in this video is reveal what a coward and a hypocrite you are. Cowards and hypocrites like you are why this world is as corrupt as it is. You attack a man who has the courage to stand up, because you, a coward, thinks only an insane man would waste any time being brave and openly and madly in love with a woman. Your next video should be about what a coward you are.
And where Shelly is... ok I'll look into that, thanks William
Actually, Tom didn't divorce Katie! Just the opposite! Katie dumped his ass in a drama filled, well orchestrated "escape" planned by Katie's father who ironically is a divorce lawyer. The drama that unfolded in that split was like a script from one of Cruise's movies! It was planned & pulled off with "military like" precision. They only had one chance to get it right without the Scientology goon squad finding out! It was an iron clad agreement! Thank God her dad was as high powered as he was, and Katie was too well known for her to "disappear". Suri was just approaching the age when Scientologists have to surrender their kids to the "Scientology school dormitories" and all their "fuckery", completely isolated from all parents!
Katie's dad and his firm absolutely &
literally saved their lives! 🙌🏼
I'm kicking myself, got it wrong, quite a few comments on that. But I knew I'd get something wrong in a 10 min video...still, wish I could go in and change it. Thanks Noka!
He is correct because they divorced each other. But she is the one the filed.
I've always wondered if the divorce settlement included she couldn't talk about scientology or act again. I really want to hear her story, I have a feeling she's a godsend to Siri's life even though we don't hear about her.
THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT!!!!! SO TRUE!!! SHE HAD TO ESCAPE!!!
Was going to say this!
Correction, he did not divorce her, Katie Holmes performed the perfect escape from her husband and saved her daughter from Scientology. You do not leave Scientology, you escape! I know from my own 30-years in. And now 14-years out.
Well done, you!
Congratulations for escaping. SO glad you got out. I don't know you but I'm proud of you.
Way to go! Good for you! Thanks to Leah Remini many more are escaping and hopefully will continue to do so! What Katie did for her daughter demonstrates the indescribable love a mother has for her child.
Prove it. Give me that dog 🐕
That's creepy that you have to escape, like a prison camp or something. The main thing is you did. It could not have been easy.
Best thing that ever happened to Siri is Tom ignoring her. Serious his daughter is better off without his cult craziness.
@Tom Cruise Your comments reinforce the story.
Everyone but the cult leader are better off without the cult craziness.

Yup
@@brianwalsh1401 yup
It just struck me that you are wearing a black turtleneck! I will not accept that this is a coincidence. Well done on the whimsical wink to a famous, ridiculous promotional video for Scientology, starring a certain extremely overrated madman. Your videos are riveting, thank you for all your hard work!
Aw thank you so much!!! And you know what, I didn't even think of that, but it was the first time I wore my new jumper haha. I think it might have been a subconscious thing, it just felt right to wear, while doing it.
The hair is also looking a bit Tom Cruise 🤔
@@AndrewGold1 I don’t know… that choice in black turtleneck might be Scientology slowly seeping into your subconscious. If we see you jumping on a couch in your next posted video, we’ll know for sure! 😂 Well done!
@@EmmaLemmon oh he knocked the “Tom Cruise hair” out of the park 😅
Trying too hard to prove he's in love with a person born with a vagina
I don’t understand how Tom Cruise is still so popular. I literally can’t watch him in movies because I don’t see the character he’s playing, I just see crazy, cultish, Tom Cruise in every role. Also, knowing that if I spend money on a film that he’s in, that money makes it’s way into his pocket, then into Scientology’s coffers, then into destroying lives and I’m not willing to be part of that.
Same here. Haven’t seen anything from him since the “Show me the money” movie
@@yolandacroes5491 I think the last movie I saw of his was A Few God Men, and even in that Jack Nicholson took the spotlight. And Demi Moore. I can't stand Tom Cruise... he's a phony and I can't stand them (even if they're acting lol... yes, I do see the irony).
Ya its def ruined his movies no doubt.
@@yolandacroes5491 he was good at yelling "show me the money !!!" no Method in it ! 😉
AND,that creepy scary too big never ending smile.only time I ever appreciated something he did,was when they made him up to be that fat sweaty singing dude.
I would pay to see Tom's face when he realizes that he cannot walk on water . ☺️
I know right! Thanks for watching Judy
I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when Katie blindsided him by filing for divorce.
In his disillusioned mind he could sink into quicksand and still tells himself he’s walking on water.
Or do a wired jumping stunt and breaks his foot…oh, wait!
You would never see anything. He would crumble momentarily, and in private, then instantly reconstitute as if nothing ever happened. It is how all narcissists respond when they are called out into realization.
I don’t know if anyone has already mentioned this, but Peter Overton (60 Minutes Australia interview) grew up next door to Nicole Kidman, and they have always remained somewhat friends, which is what started the original frostiness between Peter and Tom and why Peter had no issue with trying to get under his skin to begin with.
Interesting, thanks!
@Tom Cruise You sound like a broken record,Trollboy.
Interesting Peter and Nicole were part of the elite cults and freemasons in OZ. You don't get famous in OZ without being part of it. Look up Fiona Barnett and her evidence against the Kidmans.
How this cult is still allowed tax-exempt status is beyond me.
I think that's wrong. I read an article that said the tax exemption was jerk right outta Miscaviage's dirty little hands. I hope I read that right. They are obviously not a religion, but a cult. Money sure does have way too much power in our world. They should all fear for their soul.
What and Christianity can still be? All religions are mental but there is so much money to be made so all the powerful people get involved with them, that's why.
@@b00ts4ndc4ts Can we put the teenage edginess aside.
Christians help millions if people. I'm an Atheist but I help with a Christian charity. We do clothing drives, Sleeping bag handouts, food, drink, phones etc. 1 of tens of thousands. You can go to church.. or not.
Scientology uses child labour, imprison people and ships kids around the world.. whilst brainwashing and bribing people out of all of their money. Charging people more the more they can read. In Christianity, they'll hand you a bible, the whole thing. For free. Not charge 2 million to read the final chapter.
Comparing the two is just dishonest.
@@realMaverickBuckley everything that you have mentioned you can do without being a Christian.
Don't forget the church has been involved in one of the biggest child sex scandals, so it's not all prayers and jam is it?
So true.
That was such obvious fakery. I watched with my mouth open, and couldn't believe anyone took it seriously. He was acting like a lunatic, and don't even get me started on that creepy grin of his. Have you noticed that it never reaches his eyes? No matter how hard he grins, his eyes are always cold. Ugh.
Dead right with that.
I'm extremely embarrassed and ashamed to admit that I was involved in Scientology back in the 80's. Tom Cruise is typical of the kind of people I knew at my local Church (Cult) of Scientology. I've never been in one place where there were so many ignorant and low class people, who pressure and intimidate members when trying to sell them services or recruiting them to join staff full time. Staff members in Scientology work 7 days a week for little or no pay. I appreciate that Andrew refers to Scientology as a cult and not the 'church' and 'religion' that it pretends to be.
That's the thing with religions though. It's their job to rope you in. I don't think you should feel any shame in getting involved, it says a lot about your character to question your own beliefs and join and even more impressive, question your beliefs AGAIN and leave. Way to go man. 🫂
@@Subfightr Thanks I appreciate that.
You got out, that’s what counts. Whenever you share your story, you just might be providing someone else with the courage to leave.
@@amiek9226 You may be right and hopefully to also prevent someone from joining.
Don't feel embarrassed. You woke up out of scientology's heavy abusive brainwash gaslighting. That takes extreme strength and courage knowing exactly how scientology works against those who have seen their truth and left.
Enjoy your free life and I hope you are happy.
Also, other ex scientologists use their knowledge to help expose the mega cult and educate the public.
Truly appreciate your exposing the abusive practices of the cult $camatology.
thanks ann!!
Ahahaha $camatology 😅
@@AndrewGold1 Keep going!
The way Tom has treated Suri is pure narcissism. All the love bombing, then dropping her like a stone. The daughter he once couldn’t praise highly enough. Thank God Katie is her mother, because she’s got her head on straight. The bravery of that girl, getting the hell out of that marriage, that environment…I actually cheered for her that day, it was the same way I felt when I saw that great photo of Nicole Kidman giving a cry of joy the day her divorce was final.
There's a theory covered by A A Ron. Not his kid
Nicole kidmN is a man
@@nomysweetsummerchild3984 Interesting as this is the case for many celebs and elites or they are grown in test tubes.
@@nomysweetsummerchild3984 She is the spitting image of her dad.
Any smart and responsible girl wouldn't have got involved with Tom Cruise in the first place. Let alone birthing a kid with him. What Katie did was just damage control.
We have arrogant people like Tom Cruise because we made him that way. We gave him the power. I have seen one Tom Cruise movie in my life and I'll never watch another 😆
good point!
true, he is the epitome of someone who became too famous, too wealthy, too successful, too easy and too fast and it's because of us the public, then again, he thinks he is so special it's ONLY RIGHT that we the public made him, IN fact, i think he doesn't even recognize anymore without us, then now and forever, he would be nothing...he gives scientology all the credit for his success (never mind private life failure!) and yet he was a superstar before he ever even heard of scientology! that is what is so so odd!...
Same system. “Risky Business” and MTV changed the movies… and killed the radio.
I loved Tom Cruise movies until he made that absolutely SH!TTY movie Vanilla Sky. It was then that I realized he didn’t care what he put out and was taking advantage of people who went to watch it because of his name. He really is a sucky actor and I refuse to watch any movie he is in.
@@alittlewheiser521what is the matter with Vanilla Sky ?
I haven't watched a Cruise movie since A Few Good Men. I can't seperate the actor from the crazy scientologist.
It makes sense. Katie was always just a prop for Tom and Scientology.. Beautiful Hollywood wife, check. Cute baby to prove that Tom isn't shooting blanks, check.
Thanks for watching !
As the proverb goes, a bowl is most useful when it is empty.
What makes Cruise the "perfect" actor is that he is a husk, an empty shell. He literally has no self beyond the role he is playing. This also makes him the perfect cult member. Outside of acting, he would implode if Scientology (or similar) wasn't there to fill the void.
There's no difference between Cruise acting in a movie and doing Scientology - he is simply the embodiment of whatever role is poured into him.
Great point. I remember seeing Louis CK say something similar, with a coffee analogy.
That is a perfect description of tiny Tom. He seems hallow and empty with no real true substantive life beyond pretending to be a "manly man' stunt driven actor, whose movies also have no real depth and substance. He can't even laugh sincerely. His actions in public are clearly over the top.
That Opra interview in which he acted like an insane (not mentally ill) fool wasn't anything close to
He seems mega paranoid, explains his obsession with heavily controlling even interviews that should be fun and light hearted not acting like a know it all belittling interviewers because some are intelligent not to fawn over him and ask. legitimate questions.
So, why has he been totally single since Katie divorced him? Her actions in divorcing hime is like the perfect escape. Most people don't have the luxury to know talented lawyers.
@Tom Cruise Troll much?
Great insight.
I think he's full of Tom Cruise, since that's the only role he can play. He has zero range as an actor. But the way his moron fans talk about him, you'd think he was Gary Oldman.
In Judge Judy's famous words, "He's an IDIOT!"
haha i love her
@@AndrewGold1 Me, too! Watching the Darrell Brooks trial live over here in America, I have thought of this phrase of Jude Judy's over and over again.😁
The weirded-out moment wasn't just Tom Cruise's contrived jumping up and down expression of his "love" for Katie, but also Oprah's and the audience laughing and applauding along with the bizarre behavior. It shows that we can all potentially be cultists.
True
Think Cruise was over the top then amped it up, playing to the audience of women
@@60asteroid I can see myself doing that too to be honest. But I'm the son of a schizophrenic, I have no idea what is proper behavior.
@@Subfightr Cruise isn't schizophrenic though. He's just phony and righteous. He knew exactly what he was doing. Outside of that room, he just miscalculated how stupid he looked.
@@RA82828 *Any" other actor would do the same thing? There has never been any other actor done anything similar to what he did. So no. Had he just jumped up once, it would have been silly and fun. But the fact that he went on and on and then on some more. And then another time. It was very "odd" to say the *least*.
I always though I had a high cringe threshold, but that Cruise / Oprah/ Couch thing is too much for me. I can’t watch it 🥴
Haha it was a lot
Thank you so much for not referring to Scientology as "the church", as so many others, even critics, mindlessly do.
Welcome!
exactly this.
How about CO$
Am I the only person in the world that believes Cruise is a one dimensional actor? He’s a lightweight in comparison to Johnny Depp, Daniel Day Lewis, Anthony Hopkins, Niles Crain, Jude Law. Cruise can play one role very well; the big screen action movies.
A true actor dares to do Broadway .To my knowledge, he’s never done Broadway where the critics are fierce.
He is just himself in every movie. He hasn’t really expressed much dimension in most of his films. Are those films entertainment? A lot of the times they are good enough for one viewing.
@@aurorafina you’re correct. He does play himself and they are entertaining.
Personally, I think he's an idiot. He takes good roles. It may be schtiky, but I enjoy his movies & performances.
He's more of a movie star than an actor. He gets a lot of the best scripts and working with talented directors due to his celebrity and the fact that he's had a lot of hits at the box office.
He rarely ever stars in actual drama's anymore he really just does sci fi and action movies to get the big paydays. Seven Mission Impossible films, etc.
@@STONESGAM I'm not a huge Tom Cruise fan, but A Few Good Men was some pretty good acting (other than Demi Moore--ugh).
I remember watching that episode on Oprah back in the day. Tom Cruise jumping on the couch was such an odd over-the-top moment. Your video provides essential context - it wasn’t all about Tom being crazy in love with Katie; it was about him tripping out on a Scientology power high. While that doesn’t make it make sense, because after all Scientology is involved, it does provide clarity as to what was actually going on in that bizarre moment. Thank you.
Thank you !
The interview that Tom gave to Oprah at his Telluride cabin shows how quickly his excitement lasted..Katie was there long enough to say hello to Oprah,and then she supposedly took the kids into town so that he could chat with Oprah..The interview took place right after the first pictures of a baby Suri had been released to the public..I just found it odd that Katie was not allowed to be interviewed with Tom..Also if you look at their body language you can tell that the relationship was already basically over ..Katie even I love you during their brief exchange at the door and Tom just mumbled something under his breath..I found that entire exchange even crazier than the way he was acting while coach hopping.. 🙄. Katie is a smart lady and I am sure Tom still See's red whenever, he thinks about the way she dumped him is brought up..
@Tom Cruise Good grief! What a crock!
Nothing you said makes sense to me. There's always an agenda tho with the big power house stars. It was probably planned by Tom to jump but he surprised his handler. His relationship with Katie was necessary in his mind to prove he's still got it after Nicole. Supposedly he divorced Nic, she did not want to leave. So in comes naive Katie. I still can't figure Katie's motive out. She did not ever become a big bankable star. Tom may have control over her career.
You know, I never did think that was about Katie Holmes from the first time I saw it.I thought it was presumptuous of Oprah to assume it was.
Now I am aware of all this I will never watch another Tom Cruise film!
Too right !
An old friend of mine (since first grade till today) was captured by the Scientology trap in the late 60s. Ten years later, when he figured it out, he left. The "church" hounded him directly and on the phone for twenty years. He fled to a different State and forever thereafter had unlisted numbers.
Wow, I'm glad he left. But, it's so sad that he had to flee and basically get a new identity. I can't imagine how terrifying that must of been or still is. Sending prayers.
That's horrible
I saw him jumping on Oprahs couch as incredulity rude and arrogant I don't view anything with him in it this clip came up in my feed and I wanted to post how I feel about him.I quit watching him after he attacked Brooke Shields. Post partial depression is a serious and deadly disease psychotic depression Brooke was trying to help people by going public about this illness.Shame on him for his tirade .😢
There were also other things going in Tom Cruise's life at that time. The kind of thing if you printed them he would sue for $100 million. Which is why it was so important to make it look like Tom Cruise was mad in love with a woman. It worked too, we stopped talking about that other thing and just how nuts Tom Cruise was.
Interesting doug!!
Was or is
What?? Please tell!
SOME of us stopped talking about those little boys on the set.
Not all of us.
Tom was always pissed off at somebody for teasing him with the gay card. he should have lightened up and not become so indignant when confronted with the subject. the fact that he let it be known that it angered him.....hello!!
What's really weird is how he got his entire family, including his mother, into this cult. I get they would join to keep him happy but they seem to have been completely brain washed by it too. Scary how this cult can brain wash an entire family!
That's how cults work
If one family member is in CIAntology, the entire family is in CIAntology.
Well they wanted to keep their money rolling in from Tom, then they would have to do as he says
Brains are required in the first place in order to be washed…
@@valerieann2751 yeah but they ended up believing it too not just pretending to believe. That's my point.
I would say though that Kate was the one who divorced Tom which might sound a small thing but she had to actually plan an escape from him...
Apart from That all pretty spot on Andrew
Ah shoot. I need the feedback - but also wish I could change stuff after the fact. Thanks Mark, good to bear in mind.
Her escape plan for divorce from Yom and the cult was complex and intricate, further highlighting the retaliation fears this cult perpetuates.
@@AndrewGold1 it's not really a biggie Andrew. Just personally don't want cruise getting any credit for anything especially as he hasn't anything to do with his daughter.
She filed for divorce, yes. But they divorced each other. There is not only one person involved in divorcing.
@@markbridgewater4918 you are right! Oh well, you're right too that it's not such a biggie, but I spent a long time putting it together, and I wish I'd phrased it differently!
He really needs to rethink his stance on psychiatry because if anyone needs it he does.
He did it on every talk show he went on in that time period...I saw him do it on a clip from Ellen as well, and other shows. So immature. It was horrible acting as well. I could tell he was over exaggerating his feelings ridiculously. He NEEDS psychology and is a rude and self entitled asshat. I have refused to watch movies that he is in his entire career. He never appealed to me because he always had that arrogant attitude under his surface charm.
Never saw a Tom Cruise movie. Never liked him.
Fair enough Michele!
Why does no one talk about how weird it is that Katie auditioned to be his gf in the first place? At an interview conducted by his church? And then she even married him and had a child with him? She’s just as weird!
@@hannahreynolds7611 okay then at the end when they say okay you got the job and you get to date Tom Cruise any normal same person would say wtf you weirdos and walk away. She’s just as weird!

@@prettyinpinky5937 well she was only 23 when they married. People don't always think clearly at that age. Also she had had a crush on him for years.

@@merricat3025 no one will see it though. it happens all the time, I realise things after releasing! But I'm ok with it, at least it isn't a huge factual error. Just a bit annoying. Oh well!
This horrible little man is a monster Katie showed the world what a great mother she is by literally putting herself in danger to save her daughter from this awful cult. Thank goodness Katie has such a caring father and Sufi has a grandfather that obviously loves her very much. You only have to see what’s happened to Shelly Miscavige to know how scared Katie must have been for herself & her daughter.
Caring father? He should have known better in the first place to warn her away -- it isn't possible he didn't know about them.
@@revertinthemaking You're assuming he didn't try, but you don't know that he didn't. Katie was a grown woman, who was old enough to decide who she was going to marry. Her father may have tried to warn her off and she could have told him to shut up or he'd never see her again and in the end, he could have just made sure that she knew he was there if/when she needed him. Now that's all an assumption but that scenarios is just as likely as yours where he didn't care enough to even try. The fact is that we don't know what all happened because Katie has never talked about it, which is precisely why I believe that she and Tom came to an agreement where she promised to forever keep her mouth shut about their relationship, Scientology, David Miscaviage etc, in return for her and Suri's freedom and no harassment from the cult of Scientology.
@@revertinthemaking wow, because Katie wasn't aware of what she was getting herself into as an adult?
@@tammyrogers9129 well obviously she wasn’t. She married him. She had a child with him. Neither of these things would have happened had she believed that Cruise really was the poison dwarf that he is, at least one hopes not. I think she completely underestimated the power Scientology had and Cruises enthusiastic embrace of the cult and love of his position within Scientology. I wonder if maybe she imagined that he really loved her and that Suri would close the deal……which she did, but not in the manner expected. The poison dwarf made it very clear that he was really married to Scientology first, and Ms Holmes and her daughter came a lot lower down the totem pole.
Please❤ Explain exactly what you mean by calling “Tom Cruise horrible little man “
cruise needs meds, he's an embarrassing individual 🤓
The one thing that would piss him off, given his anti-psych stance, more than anything!
@@AndrewGold1 force feeding as an interesting experiment in his case.. anything for science 👽
When I saw that Australian interview, my whole opinion of Cruise changed. What a jerk, he has an overinflated sense of himself and his cult. Never enjoyed any of his movies after that
Hm I dunno if I buy that I think he just did it because he thought people would think it was adorable how in love he was when in reality he looked like an idiot lol
I think he was jumping up and down on the couch proclaiming his insane love for Katie Holmes because this was his way of trying, desperately, to tell the world he wasn't gay despite the fact that there were rumors of it.
And I still think he is. Too many rumors. David Miscavige is probably his mate
Scientology found me a girlfriend!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Haha
I'm proud to say I've never watched a Tom Cruise film. I don't find him attractive and hate Scientology. His antics on the Oprah couch were utterly childish, and unbecoming of a man of his age.
Agreed!
Didn’t Katie divorce him as opposed to vice versa? Seem to remember there was a well orchestrated escape from the madman
yes i got that wrong!
When orka found out tom's wedding date, she cleared her calendar, but guess what? She wasn't invited bc cruise wanted to separate himself from the crazy couch episode, LOL.
Lol
The film "Eyes wide shut" nearly freed him from the cult, one of his best parts where he is really acting, no narcissistic, just a lost man. Surely he was lost at this point and Kubrick turned his pain into a masterpiece. He could have been saved at this moment.
Love that movie, also fun fact in a scene in that movie when toms character is at the young girls apartment she has an introduction to Scientology book on her desk.
@@Rlrlrl1962 really, well Stanley Kubrick mastered every detail on his sets.
Interesting point! I never thought about that, but I see it! I also wonder how Elizabeth Moss can do The Handmaids Tale and not see the coercive system she supports in every scene? Denial aint just a river in Egypt I guess.
Nicole Kidman's father was in the cult of child sacrifice. Look up Australian ,Fiona Barnett. Kidman is not innocent to any of it. He was being investigated in Australia and freaked out, escaped to his other daughter in SIngapore and had a heart attack. Perhaps the DS in Oz were turning on their own, they didn't want Nicole's father to expose them so perhaps they killed him. But he could have died of a heart attack. Kubrick was exposing them in 'Eyes Wide Shot' and was probably wiped out. Scientology is just part of all the evil elite cults. Just different versions.
Kubrick's daughter is a Scientologist.
Tom Cruise is such an oddball. And nobody's discussing how weirdly he preyed on an extremely young Katie Holmes.
th-cam.com/video/-kNdNC-2wPU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=hello%2CI%27mprojet19 You can see a subliminal shot of Katie Holmes here at 0:40 in this clip from Vanilla Sky. The movie came out in 2001 and Tom and Katie were seen in public in 2005. Just a bit creepy.
Christian bale modeled his character for American psycho off of Tom cruise. He said there was an emptiness in his eyes in interviews.
Who else was weirded out enough by Tom Cruise jumping into the couch to see it as a falsity & turned off by Tom Cruise from then on?
I just saw it as the usual scripted Hollywood entertainment - all performed for effect. It would have been dull and uninspiring if Tom had sat calmly on the couch, and simply smiled and said, "Yeah, I guess I really love Katie". I get weirded out by the number of people that watch this sort of drivel, and all the "reality" shows like "The Bachelor". Who do you really think are worse, the fake performers that get paid to do it, or the mind-numbed viewers that pay to watch it.
@@aliensoup2420 that whole "jump on couch" moment was a HUGE "no more" for me watching ANYTHING Tom Cruise from then on. Absolutely stupidity at its finest and won't go back to watching that fool.
At first, I thought he was super cute, but now that I learned who he really is, I am totally repulsed by him. 🤮🤢
I am Katie's age and also had the hugest crush on Tom for a long time. I was super jealous when they got together but after all the huge shows of affection and over the top comments of each other, it just seemed scripted. It wasn't real love, it was convenient for both. When Shelly was brought up at the wedding and the whole big deal it caused for Leah Remini it showed that there is so much more to scientology than meets the eye and it needs to be avoided at all costs. I'm glad Katie got out before they took her daughter from her and so happy that she and Suri are much better without big time Tom, who I now do not at all have crush but only sadness for Tom.
Tom disgusts me.
It's sad in a way that he is so deeply into this cult but I also blame him for not being willing to see how this cult hurts so many people. He is treated like an extreme VIP and given everything while others lose live savings and family and are destroyed. He turns a blind eye because it's good for him. I can pity him a tiny bit but I mostly have no respect for him.
Why did no one just call out the actor that he isn't a doctor nor pharmacist and should keep quiet about medicine
Matt Lauer tried to!
Some people did - the problem is that it's a completely ineffective strategy to try and get someone to stop spreading misinformation, or to get people to stop consuming that misinformation. Flat Earthers don't stop talking about the flat earth when someone points out they failed science in school. Creationists don't stop promoting creationism when people point out they aren't evolutionary biologists. Joe Rogan didn't stop spreading misinformation about the vaccine when literally hundreds of reporters pointed out he has no medical qualifications whatsoever.
What DOES stop them spreading that misinformation is when them spreading it hurts their bank balance. What made Tom Cruise shut up about scientology and psychiatry was not being called out for it - it was the fact that it became harder for him to land roles in major films while he was publicly promoting scientology and attacking psychiatry.
You aren't a politician, you shouldn't get to vote
I think that’s how Tom Cruise thinks strait men act.
I call him box office poison I can’t watch a movie if he is in it. In fact if I find out any actors are Scientologist it turns me off them they are very cruel people.
there's something wrong with Tom Cruise , he scares me 😦
Besides an arrogant, narcissistic Cultist in the closet?... it's probably small man syndrome
I'm reading A Billion Years by Mike Rinder right now! I'm so glad he wrote that book!!
I am reading it too!! I'm 1/2 way thru it. Some amazing info!
Omg! That's not at all what I read. I believe it though. I remember a few years later Nicole Kidman was asked about the couch incident and she said "I don't believe it." But because she's so lovely, (and also too good for Tom Cruise), she went on to say that she wishes him the best.
He was a complete idiot to give her up, but it worked out better for her because I'm pretty sure Keith Urban isn't tapping her phone. 👍😄
Ohhh my days! I was sure it had to do with _War Of The Worlds._ I guess you can't believe every rag mag.
Thanks Andrew. 👍
thanks Elisa!!! it's all my speculation though, of course.
Nicole is just as weird and fake as Tom. No one normal would be with him for 11 years.
Just the opposite
Oh my god you even dressed up like Cruise. 😂 Too funny. Your channel rocks.
Haha yes ! And thank you !
Omg you're right lol! Subtle genius 👍
That’s interesting, didn’t realize that Scientology picked her so sure he had cult mind think regarding her.
Yep absolutely!
If my memory serves me correctly the guy who squirted water at him from a fake microphone was a british comedian and actor called Paul Kaye in character as his alter ego "Dennis Pennis". He has also appeared in comedies such as "Zapped", "Not going Out" and "Mongrels" and brought out a full length film "R.I.P. Dennis Pennis". He accosted many celebrities in various ways and got way worse reactions than this one (he got slapped a few times). He most definately was not actually crying here. It was for his show. He's a funny guy, as long as you're really stoned.
This was way after Paul Kaye retired Dennis Pennis. It was actually part of a prank show for Channel Four called “Balls of Steel” and they had to issue a public apology to Tom. The show also famously pranked Sharon Osbourne who retaliated with a full ice bucket.
Cheers.
More recently Tom Hanks was criticized for calling out fans who got too close to his wife. I think its a normal reaction. Doesn't mean I like him though.
Speaking of The Beetles, I instantly saw a strong hint of Paul Mc at first sight. :D
That’s no bad thing. Thanks Roxy !
I love this take! Not trying to defend Cruise or "blame" Oprah, obviously Cruise knew what he was doing but if you watch the entire unedited version, she does really encourage him- I guess to get the audience riled up? He was ostensibly there to talk about War of the Worlds but I wonder if Oprah had been briefed in advance that she was supposed to make it more about Katie and his personal life- I.e. scientology. There's an interesting "You're wrong about" podcast episode about this!
She knows what good tv is and she is great and making the guest go the extra mile and reveal or do things they previously thought they wouldn’t.
Oprah is into super culty stuff of her own.
I will not feel bad to say i have always thought he was a puke. He seems so fake.
dude who are you??! i see you everywhere on here lol. and your content is great. yt finally rewarding decent ppl and not just ppl that watch kitchen nightmares while eating take away food. your subs will fly up
I appreciate that Mow Vu! If you're seeing it everywhere, then TH-cam must have decided we are a natural fit.
@@AndrewGold1 top man. i look forward to when you're too busy to reply to comments haha. enjoy your future successes
I might agree with everything except the water squirting microphone incident. It could've been acid for anyone knew. It was mind-blowingly stupid and I personally would've knocked the guys teeth out. Imagine if someone did that to a loved one. You would be enraged and rightfully so.
Yeh it was awful you’re right
Acid?? He didn’t look muslim to me.
Agreed. That was the one part I'd have to agree with Tom's reaction. And the guy crying afterwards? 🙄 Perhaps his parents should have given him similar lectures when he was a child. The only time I've ever squirted something in someone's face, we were both playing with waterguns.
😄😄 ok karen
@@mephistro 😄 oh it makes perfect sense, calm your tits karen
Larry Gaiters latest drop into the beginning of Scientology and what it's real purpose was mind blowing and horrific.
Thank you for exposing these cults here. Your work is very needed
Glad you enjoyed it
I have experience from a cult 18 years ago. It still affect me..
Andrew, ICOC was not the most hard core cults out there, but nevertheless far from sane..
It's stated that Scientology picked Katie holmes after a month long search . . .How is this known ?
Any evidence on that ?
She divorced him! Science Fiction and Religion don’t mix Period!!!
I got that bit wrong!
I haven’t watched a Tom Cruise movie in years. He makes me sick with his megalomania.
I will be waiting for the next video. Have been watching Leah Remini Scientology and the Aftermath amongst other things Scientology related the last few weeks. As horrifying as it all is I need to know more
Coming soon, more! Thanks Lisa
I refuse to watch any of his movies and I've been that way since 2005 he's a Hollywood brat
“Look Oprah! I found a beard!”
I do believe he’s gay and has been for a very long time.
Yeah that didn’t age well! This guy is a complete nut job and this is yet another reason you don’t talk about your personal life in public
I think this is the moment people realized that any time the public sees him Cruise is acting off screen as well. Both types of performances are characters and leave a lot to be desired.
Cruise is an actor in all he does. Never cared for him. Something was way off. Not a movie guy. ..a phony world
@Tom Cruise I'm in Michigan. Never a Cruise or okra fan
Let me be clear, I am absolutely not a fan of Tom Cruise and yes he’s crazy, But what that guy did with the microphone was really uncalled for and I thought that Tom Cruise handled it pretty well. Of course he can’t lash out at him and punch the guy in the face on video because he is the spokesperson for Scientology.
I agree, it was awful. Just interesting how he holds him, and stares and bull-baits
He's a prime example of a woof in sheep's clothing.
The fact that these frauds are tax free makes me feel stupid actually paying my taxes.
Of course, it's only one of countless reasons of why I question the Federal government's intentions or good faith.Just another example of how they cater to all the non essential elements of society.
Despite my earlier comments, I AGREE WITH TOM IN THE MATT LAUER INTERVIEW. Anyone would react the same, if you actually watch it. I listened while resting with my eyes closed. I AGREE WITH TOM ON THIS ONE.
TC looked absolutely stark, raving bonkers on Oprah. 🤡
Any person who has anything to with Scientology is not of sound mind
Slightly off topic, but as good looking and charismatic (when he wants to be) as Tom Cruise is ... I find it interesting that there is no sexual chemistry between him and any of the leading ladies in his films ... not even Nicole Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut. There's something very troubling about him.
Only loves himself
@@kaitlinbarros4098 Or, most likely, isn't attracted to women.
Put it simply I have never warmed or cared for Tom Cruise as a person or as an actor.Does anyone remember when the Scientologists where shoving that horrible book Dianetics down our throats on every street corner? I would just ignore them.
@Tom Cruise I am watching from Southern California. I am about 45 miles from the Scientology Celebrity Center. When you are driving on the 101 Hollywood Freeway You can see it. This cult is very prevalent in So Cal because of the film industry .
Good grief. TC is an actor. Why would anyone believe his actions are genuine?
Way back before he became an A-list movie star, I had a hard time watching Mr. Cruise's movies (real last name is Mapother). My main reason is his narcissistic personality and he is just acting as himself in all his movies. Now, he is the face and poster boy of scientology and that's what I see in addition to his narcissism when I see his face. They are one and the same. Blame his first wife (and older) Mimi Rogers, who converted him when they got married. Interestingy, Mimi Roger's father was a friend of LRH.
I must say, I've never understood the appeal, or the longevity of Tom Cruise. He's not a great dramatic actor, he's not funny, he's not a convincing tough guy, he doesn't come across as warm or fatherly, his voice is irritating, his smile insincere.....etc.
Anyway, thank you Andrew for exposing these criminal organisations.
The couch jump! I’m convinced Oprah was sitting there thinking ‘Take me now, Lord’…
Oh please, Tom did not divorce Kathie, she divorced him and that is a fact. No matter how many times people say otherwise! 🙄
I misspoke! I knew I'd get one thing wrong!
Tom Cruise is the best ad to psychiatrist's drugs EVER
Oprah’s producer likely told him to relax and be himself but they never expected the couch jumping.
haha absolutely not!
I don’t think anyone can tell him what to do ….
that is also true
If you make it to OPrahs Couch 🛋 you have special helpers.
@@zibtihaj3213 yes. He’d view that in the negative.
Oh I didn’t know his sister was one too. He’s rather odd isn’t he 🤣
It's all mad isn't it. Funny how much she looks like her. I guess that's not very unusual for siblings, but funny to see with famous people.
God that couch jumping is so cringe, loved the episode. As always your content is super interesting but we need more more more!! Thanks Andrew 😊
Working on it! And thank you Jo!
I can tell you that this is one person that has refused to watch any Tom Cruise movies because of Scientology.
Where is Shelley Miscavige?
I love your cult videos!! the more information out about dangerous cults the better!!
thanks leslie, more to come!
@@AndrewGold1 Great!! awesome!! Is there a reason you are particularly interested in cults? We all know how destructive they are and how they ruin people's lives--but so do a lot of other things. I was wonder how you decided to focus on cults.
@@lesliewells1062 now THAT would be a good question for the next time I do a Q&A! The short answer is that I grew up Jewish and had to go to Sunday school to learn to read Hebrew. It wasn't in any way a cult, but I hated it, I hated the way we were supposed to revere the Rabbi or any other religious leader, even if they believed in gobbledeygook. And I hated how religions made us all different, and segregated us from one another!
@@AndrewGold1 Did you notice the guy down there commenting with the screen name Tom Cruise--pretending to be Tom Cruise? Wonder who it really is? Someone from scientology? Who knows. Just weird. I clicked on the thumbnail and there is no content at all. And the two comments I read are both identical in words and nonsensicalness!
@@AndrewGold1 Wow! That sounds pretty awful! I didn't know you did Q and As. I will have to try and watch next time you have one! I was in a cult for 28 years--from the time I was 16 when I joined against my family's wishes until I left when I was 44. I'm 61 now. It still affects me. The cult is called Branhamism by people who don't believe it and the End Time Message by those who do. Not many people know of its existence, but it has between two and four million members world wide. I read and watch as much as I can about cults. And what's so interesting is that superficially they are so different and diverse, but underneath they all use the same mind control techniques and fear to control people, so they really aren't different!!
It is so hard to see his arrogance and smugness ..I cannot stand people at all like this and keep them out of my life.. It is a shame a few of his films that I do enjoy i find harder and harder to re-watch anymore..
Everyone knows it is a sign of perfect mental health to jump up & down on somebody else's chairs with your dirty shoes, on national TV.
HOW DID YOU MISS THIS?
Hahaha
I like the part where he gets squirted in the face, that dude cant take a joke... it was an equalizer lol
That's the jumper that Tom Cruise was wearing! lol
haha close!
@@AndrewGold1 Different neckline, but getting there!
So....
Tom-"Mission Impossible "-Cruise
is afraid of water? And makes people cry for a little water squirt joke? Glad I never went to any of his movies. I like Keanu better, John Wick is more my style anyway. I love dogs too!
