An Expression of Love
The name Tom Cruise is well-known in the entertainment world. Despite appearing in several films, he gained notoriety for a specific stunt that entailed hopping into Oprah Winfrey’s couch while she was airing it. At the time, Cruise was overjoyed in his relationship with Katie Holmes, and he chose to show his affection for her by vivaciously jumping up and down on the couch during the show. The “topmost unexpected TV moment” in 2005 was this unpredictable behavior, which is still clearly recalled today.
A Good Sense of Humor
Beyond his tragic roles, Cruise has demonstrated his flexibility as an actor by excelling in humorous roles as well. Les Grossman, a character he helped to create significantly in “Tropic Thunder,” was one of his memorable comedy performances. Cruise even recommended adding physical oddities to the character to heighten the humor. His ability to inject humor into dramatic situations, like Jack Reacher and Ethan Hunt, has also been shown. He has surprisingly succeeded in making viewers laugh when portraying serious characters such Frank T.J. Mackey in “Magnolia” and Stacee Jaxx in “Rock of Ages.”
