Seems Tom Cruise has reversed his opinion about post partum depression. He's also gone public with his change of mind and heart. In a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, for whom you'll recall he jumped all over a couch as he professed his love for now-wife Katie Holmes, Cruise admits what he said about Brooke Shields in his other most-famous moment back in 2006. His harsh comments about Brooke Shields turning to medication--specifically anti-depressants--to treat her post partum depression came under fire from all sides.
Now Cruise confirms that what he said came out the wrong way, that he was raised by four women with babies and that he doesn't want to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't be doing or believing in. He insists what he said about Shields "came out wrong, it's just not true." Cruise has since apologized to Shields several times.
The damage, however, seems to have been done. Cruise was attacked by the media, mothers and feminists everywhere. His career seems to have taken a back seat to his rantings. In the interview Cruise comments that he regrets saying a lot of what he did and talking about Shields at all. Say what you will about Tom Cruise, and perhaps he's just trying to save face, but it does take some guts to come out and say you're wrong about something, especially when you admit it to the whole world.
By the way, remember the Tom Cruise from the pic? The young cutie? Hrd to believe how far he--and we--have come after all these years!

Christina said...I think that he has a good PR person who has told him to try to straighten things out, make nice with the public because we are the ones who make him a star. I agree it takes big person to admit he/she is wrong however why did he wait and also now that his career has taken a bit of dive this is all coming out?! Sorry I do not believe it nor do I have compassion for him. I have a hard time even watching the young cute non ranting Tom... which is kind of downer because I really like some of those early movies (Top Gun - LOVE IT!) OH well... life goes one!

I don't know about guts, he has a gagillion dollar career going down the tubes. Plus, his rants were in front of the whole world - so his apologies should be too.

Ethel said...Sorry, when was he cute? He's always been a short little twit to me. Okay, that was harsh. He's always been short and plain.

Judy said...Well, just shows again that I prefer older men, because I never got all the hype about Tom Cruise when he was young, but now I find him somewhat handsome. I think he's a little out there, but much better looking than he was in Top Gun.
