Tom Cruise gets hate from his co-stars
In mid-July, in an interview with Vulture, Thandie Newton shared many memories related to co-star Tom Cruise and the movie Mission Impossible II.
In 2000, Newton teamed up with Tom Cruise in the action blockbuster. In the film, she plays the lover of spy Ethan Hunt. The 48-year-old female star doesn’t have many good memories of the movie, she only remembers that it was a haunting time filming the movie.

“I was scared to act with Cruise. He really likes to command, he is literally a controlling individual, always tense with his co-stars,” Thandie Newton recounted.
The 48-year-old actress remembers a bad moment more than 20 years ago. In addition to struggling with the film’s confusing dialogue, she also had to deal with Cruise’s uncooperative and irritable attitude.
“During the scene in Spain, due to the difficult dialogue, I did not complete it well. This made Tom unhappy, he kept saying he was terribly disappointed,” Newton said.
The BAFTA award-winning female star revealed that Cruise even asked to change roles to see how he could do better than her.
“It made me insecure, like torture. I was really embarrassed,” Newton recalled.
After not completing the scene, she said the actor born in 1962 called a day later.
“I thought Cruise would apologize, but no. He confirmed he would come back next week, without a single question,” she said.
During the interview with Vulture, Thandie Newton always affirmed that Tom Cruise wants the best for the movie, and is not someone who wants to have bad intentions or reprimand his co-star.
However, due to her domineering and irritable personality, the female star born in 1972 felt scared and embarrassed when she remembered her past with Tom Cruise.
To someone who used to belong to the same sect
After Thandie Newton’s sharing, Leah Remini – the female star who was criticized by Scientology for leaving the cult and defaming Tom Cruise – excitedly spoke up in support of the actress.
She believes that Tom Cruise is only worshiped by the Scientology cult, and is not kind in real life, from the way he treats his co-stars, wife and children.
Leah Remini is considered a “frenemy” with Tom Cruise. She often speaks out against Hollywood actors.
When joining Scientology, the actor born in 1970 was a close friend of Tom Cruise. It wasn’t until she left the sect that she officially became the enemy of the 58-year-old actor.
During a conversation with Reddit, she affirmed that Tom Cruise is not a good person.
“Tom is a representative of the two-faced type of person, the person in front of the camera and behind the scenes are completely different. People in the cult even claim that Cruise is a dangerous person,” she said.
After leaving the cult, the star of The King of Queens affirmed that Cruise is no different from David Miscavige – the head of Scientology – full of mystery and sinister.

In her memoir Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, the actress points out the negative aspects of the cult. She said that having been active in Scientology for 30 years, the decision to leave was not easy.
“Tom Cruise is a devout believer, his words carry weight in Scientology. Being criticized by him means being turned away by the entire sect. You will become a bad guy in their eyes,” she expressed in her memoir. .
After criticism of the Mission Impossible star, Leah Remini became the target of attacks from Tom Cruise fans. However, according to Remini, fans are only a small part, the threats mainly come from cult members.
And ex-wife
Cruise is said to have joined the cult in 1990 with Mimi Rogers – the actor’s first wife. Gradually, he became a pious believer, a “superstar representing the sect spreading the message of civilization”.
In an analysis, TMZ said that Scientology was the main cause of three divorces of actors, with the most severe consequences being Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes.
Australian Swan had 11 years of marriage with Tom Cruise. Living next to an actor who was once known as the most handsome man on the planet, she did not have a happy life.
“Married to Tom Cruise at the age of 23, I mostly stayed at home. I got pregnant and lost my baby not long after. I was devastated,” the Days of Thunder star shared, refraining from speaking ill of her ex-husband.

In the end, Kidman decided to divorce. The image of an Australian swan wearing simple clothes and smiling brightly walking out of the court attracted attention for a while. At that time, the press said that the actress was happy to be freed from Tom Cruise.
According to TMZ , the cause of the divorce is Scientology.
Tom Cruise wanted his ex-wife to join the cult but failed. Since then, he abandoned and filed for divorce from his wife. Due to depression and lack of love, she lost her first child.
It wasn’t until later that the two adopted children that Kidman loved so much also left their mother and followed Cruise to join the cult. Sharing with the press, Kidman felt heartbroken and hopeless but could do nothing else.
In 2006, Tom Cruise married Katie Holmes. The $2 million wedding at Odescalchi Castle, Italy went down in the history of the most expensive and famous weddings in showbiz.
And then, Suri was born.
The family of three became a media magnet. Cruise absolutely adores his daughter. Katie Holmes also said that “Tom made my life what it is today”.

Everything changed when Tom Cruise increasingly worshiped the Scientology cult.
In 2012, Tom Cruise and his wife divorced.
Katie won full custody of the children, the procedure took place quickly. The media said that she had prepared in advance. When she saw that her husband was no longer the same, she decided to leave when Suri was young.
“Holmes doesn’t want to follow in Nicole Kidman’s footsteps. She loves her children and doesn’t want Suri to follow her father and join the cult,” a source from People said.
Recently, after Leah Remini shared something bad about Cruise, Katie Holmes followed the actress on social networks. Daily Mail said that the 42-year-old star sympathized with her saying, “Cruise is not kind.”
It’s no wonder Katie Holmes hates Tom Cruise.
Because, since the divorce, it has been 8 years since the Mission Impossible actor has seen his daughter again.
“Because of his loyalty to Scientology, Tom cannot see his children, that is the sect’s rules,” US Weekly said.
In October 2018, Hollywood Life said that the Rock of Ages star loved his daughter, but because Suri was an outsider, he had to accept not seeing her again.
Before the above information, Katie Holmes remained silent.
Tony Ortega – former editor of The Village Voice, now a critic of Scientology – said Holmes knew the truth behind. However, while living with her ex-husband, she signed an agreement not to speak ill of the church.
In Hollywood, Tom Cruise is a bright star. However, to his colleagues and ghosts who gradually passed away, he was a “nightmare”, despite being on the list of the sexiest stars in the world many times.
