Tom Cruise — Dynamic, Passionate, Adventurous
January 25, 2008 — ppedersenTom Cruise — Dynamic, Passionate, Adventurous
(Celebrities are spontaneously speaking out on behalf of Mr. Tom Cruise, in response to recent tabloid media.)
When it comes to Tom Cruise, many have a lot to say. Here is what some celebrities are saying, per People:
ADAM SANDLER: “To see anyone’s private life invaded and mocked like this is sickening. It’s especially gross when it happens to a guy like Cruise, who’s a great dad, a great husband, and a great friend.”
I agree with Adam Sandler. Looks like Tom Cruise has some friends that I didn’t even know about. Adam Sandler has always been known to me as a comedian and author of the Chanukah songs.
BRUCE WILLIS: “There is no excuse for the ridicule that is being shown to Tom Cruise in the media because of his faith. Mr. Cruise deserves and is entitled to the same religious tolerance that is afforded every other religion on earth.”
Bruce Willis is right again! Mr. Cruise definitely does have the right to believe whatever he wants to believe. I appreciate Willis’ statement about religious tolerance.
DEMI MOORE: “What’s so difficult about allowing someone to be happy? After meeting Katie, he was sharing in an unguarded way. He’s passionate; he’s adventurous. Give him a break.”
I had forgotten that Demi Moore was also discriminated against for her religious beliefs just a few years ago. I think her statement that Tom Cruise is passionate and adventurous is most definitely true.
BEN STILLER: “Imagine having a baby and people talking about it the way they did. People lose sight of the fact that Tom Cruise is actually a person. I feel for him. What he’s dealing with is rough.”
Stiller clearly doesn’t get as much media as Mr. Cruise, but clearly he can just imagine what it must be like.
JIM CARREY: “I’ve never known Tom to be anything but supportive, positive and honorable. Although his enthusiasm for Scientology is unsettling to some, what concerns me is not the content of this [Scientology] video, but the appetite we have to see those who’ve brought us so much joy held up to ridicule.”
Interesting statement. Carrey used to be one of my favorite actors. You will want to watch: Ace Ventura Pet Detective.
J. J. ABRAMS: “Tom Cruise is a sweetheart. His intensity is present in everything I’ve seen him do, whether it is work, play, exercise, family, religion. Tom is a life zealot.”
He says “Tom is a life zealot.” I have seen many photos of Tom Cruise and many films and many shows and many smiles. I have to agree with him.
HARVEY WEINSTEIN: “The Tom Cruise in the media isn’t the Tom his friends know. He’s the same dynamic, great guy he’s always been.”
Even Harvey Weinstein says Tom Cruise is “dynamic.”
In fact, even Will Smith supports Tom Cruise. http://spiritualbeing.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/will-smith-one-of-a-kind/
Let’s not forget John Travolta: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20172867,00.html
What’s your view of Tom Cruise?

It is great that other celebrities are stepping up to defend not just Tom Cruise but his right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
The news media has a long history of lying about celebrities just so they can sell a few more copies (see: Accuracy of Celebrity News). It is important for celebrities to stand up against this sort of disgusting behavior by the news media.
What the people who write tabloid style articles don’t realize is that every lie they write is chipping away at freedom of the press because eventually someone is going to use these abuses as an excuse to take away the very freedom these journalists are abusing.

I think it is great as well that his fell celebrities are standing up for him.
No one is denying him is religious freedom but when you put your head on the chopping block you should expect it to get cut off. Cruise has made himself a target because of his advocacy for Scientology.
He isn’t a martyr his religion (like almost every other religion) call upon their members to promote the religion at all cost, therefore Cruise is not a victim actually all of this is giving more press to the Scientology religion.
If those against Scientology where smart they would do what ever they could to prevent press around this religion not promote it.
Just my 2 cents
