Tom Cruise seems relatively normal here. Here is the actual quote from Mary Herron. "“We talked about how Martian-like Patrick Bateman was, how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave. And then one day he called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy.” Eight years later (1996) Tom appeared on The Rosie O'Donnell Show. In that appearance, he wastightly wound and controlled. My guess is Herron conflated the O'Donnell Show with Letterman. There's really nothing at all American Psycho about this appearance. But the O'Donnell appearance is more Patrick Bateman-esque.

I mean, he has seen everything that this life and his career could throw at him and yet he always has managed to maintain his charisma, his overwhelming charm, his impeccable smile and his professional persona till date. And the greatest quality about him is that he never let's it loose like any human would. He is definitely not of this world because if he was, he definitely wouldn't be able to do a sequel of Top Gun after 36 long years when most would have died or have hung up their acting shoes by then. Way to Go, Cruise and we all wish you the greatest that life could possibly give you.💫

Thank you for upload and your work in general. To me, it's like little valuable pieces of celebrity lives I could not watch living in the USSR. I neither knew who Letterman (or Carson) was, nor the concept of a late-night show. Only after such shows appeared on Russian TV I eventually wanted to watch the original productions. This show and "What's My Line" became my favorites. As for this video, the only Tom Cruise movie where I liked him both as a person and as an actor was Risky Business (1983), because you could tell that he was not that self-infatuated person he became later, he was lacking self-confidence. I think this is the movie about Tom Cruise who shapes into Tom Cruise we all know (the Tangerine Dream soundtrack was also brilliant). Why wasn't it even mentioned? Wasn''t it a big hit in the USA? I mean you could guess it was a popular movie because of that scene where Cruise was dancing in his shirt and underpants. It was referenced at least a couple of times (like in Alf).

He was good in Born on the fourt of july, Jerry Maguire and Magnolia. Everything else very bad. He never convinced us in roles he portrays.

Tom's looks have improved with age and he's only gotten more fearless with his stunts, etc.

Letterman is 10x better than ANYONE on late night in 2021.

Nobody reads my descriptions and pinned comments.

When you say jersey is that New Jersey?

Letterman didn't get to all of his questions on his blue index card, the questions about Modern Psychiatry and Scientology would have been interesting.

Great actor. Seems so normal when he's not acting. Still one of the all-time greats.

the world before Rainman

This is when Tom was more "Normal".

Very strange that Letterman did not have Tom Cruise on his show before 1988. Tom Cruise has filmed Taps, The Outsiders and Risky Business all years before this interview.

and as they mentioned. Top Gun.

When Tom Cruise says, something usually says it with a Altruistic candour and a And specific taste

@john templeplate like the way he behaved when he went on Oprah and that time when he was laughing like a maniac on the Letterman show. Also that interview he did with Matt Laurer. How about that screaming rant just recently on the movie set. Then He craps on about Scientology like it's some great religion when all's it is is a mass8ve fraudulent scam that has destroyed countless lives. Ate those examples enough cos I can give a few more if you want.
