Tom Cruise And His Public Image
Tom Cruise is a perplexing individual. Since that strange period in his life when he was married to Katie Holmes, got really into Scientology, and jumped on Oprah’s couch that one time, his reputation in the public eye has been steadily deteriorating. On top of that, I get the impression that he isn’t in nearly as many movies as he used to be, and the ones that he is in aren’t exactly notable for their prestige.
Even so, when he does make movies, audiences still flock to watch them in theaters. Because he is still such a big draw at the box office, his mere presence is enough to get people excited about going to see something. I suppose that there is a segment of the population that isn’t overly perturbed by the peculiarities of the situation.
