Apparently I’ve been watching a fair bit of the CBC lately, since I also happened to catch Tom Cruise’s appearance on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos. Tom was warm. Tom was witty. Tom bantered comfortably with Strombo. Tom didn’t seem nutty at all. Tom didn’t bounce on any furniture, and he deftly blocked any of George’s tiptoeing toward Scientology without seeming evasive (although I’d LOVE to know what the ground rules were going in). Bottom line: Cruise is doing some smart things in rebuilding his image on the eve of the release of his latest film. He went away from the media for a while, following the Oprah incident and the leak of that creepy Scientology video to the internet. Sometimes, when you’re that radioactive, it’s the best – or only – course of action. But with the stakes for success of his Valkyrie film extremely high for his own career, Cruise is shrewdly and carefully stepping back into the spotlight, and keeping the focus on positive messages about making movies and moving forward with his career.
