Tom Cruise: Whatever Suri wants, she gets
Did everyone watch Tom Cruise on Oprah on Friday? It was pretty awesome, although Tom wasn’t even one-twentieth as crazy and hyperactive as he was for his last in-studio sit-down interview, which was the infamous couch-jumping incident from 2005. “Tom Cruise: The 2010 Version” was very focused, very “on point” and his voice came close to lulling me to sleep. So… he’s either back on his medication (the medication he was maybe off of in 2005?) or he got some new drugs that make him intense and dare I say… lethargic? He seemed to be speaking very slowly, or was that my imagination?
But the whole interview did me make feel for Tom a little, so I guess it achieved what he wanted. With the incessant Xenu-talk, it’s easy to forget that to most people (like Oprah, and like his fans), Tom is a really nice guy, and a total pro. Tom stayed on message during the first part of the interview, the one-on-one with Oprah. The message? “I’m sane, and heterosexual, and I love my family.” I hate his repetition of “Kate” though. You know everyone associated with Xenu probably calls her “Kate”. She must whisper to herself some nights “Katie, Katie, Katie” while she weeps. He even talked about their charity performance of “Whatever Lola Wants” a few weeks ago. And of course, Tom talked about Suri, of course, and about how whatever Suri wants, Suri gets. Diva!
Suri Cruise plays a pivotal role in the Cruise household as the family’s stylist – not only to mom Katie Holmes, but also to her famous dad.
The 4-year-old, who helped pick out Holmes’s designer outfit for a red carpet event in October, also frequently offers style tips to Tom Cruise, too.
“She tells me what to wear,” Cruise, 47, says on The Oprah Winfrey Show Friday. “She just likes to dress herself, wear whatever she wants,” he adds of the burgeoning fashionista. “If she wants to wear it, she wears it.”
The young Cruise, who’s been spotted sporting everything from Burberry to a Spanish flamenco dress and heels, “is such a happy, easy, fun girl,” says her proud dad, adding that all the paparazzi attention doesn’t upset her.
“She just deals with it,” he says. “We don’t make it a problem. You get used to it after so long.”
Plus, she takes after her mom, who according to Cruise, is “a very relaxed person.”

Tom and Oprah also talked about his two older kids with Nicole Kidman, Connor and Isabella. Surprisingly, Oprah showed lots of current photos of both kids (both are teenagers). I thought Tom and Nicole were both still playing the “you shouldn’t take or show photos of the older kids” game, but I guess not. Tom didn’t seem to have a problem talking about Connor’s burgeoning acting career, or Isabella’s dating life. Whatever Xenu wants, Xenu gets.
