He's played a fighter pilot, sports agent and samurai onscreen – but is Tom Cruise now preparing to imitate an obstetrician in real life?
In an interview taped Oct. 30 with Barbara Walters for her upcoming special Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2005, which airs Nov. 29 on ABC, Cruise revealed his latest purchase for his expectant fiancée Katie Holmes.
"I bought a sonogram machine," Cruise told Walters. "I am gonna donate it to a hospital when we are done."
Added Walters: "Wait, you are going to do your own sonogram?"
"Yes," said Cruise, laughing.
The devices, which use ultrasound waves to allow a peek at a fetus's development, can cost anywhere from $15,000 to over $200,000. (Cruise's rep declined to comment on the purchase.)
So does Tom know if their camera-ready kid is a boy or a girl? "No, I don't," he said. "Barbara, I would tell you. I would say, 'I know if it's a boy or a girl and I'm not telling you.'"
Walters asked, "So what do you see?" Said Cruise: "A little baby."
It's wait and see for wedding plans too, according to Cruise. "We are gonna get married next summer or early fall," he told Walters. "We don't have a date set yet."
Walters volunteered to catch the bouquet. But before Babs can dive for the flowers, Cruise has work to do. He and Holmes recently left for Shanghai, where he'll spend a couple of weeks on location to film scenes for Mission: Impossible 3, due out next May.
Don't know what's so fascinating about the guy. I say that marriage will end in divorce, if they ever do get married.
Does the machine fit in your closet, Tom?
"A little baby with icky thetans stuck all over it. But it's okay, because I'm going to pay the Scientology organization millions of dollars to get rid of all those icky thetans. You really ought to pay them to get rid of yours too, so you can be like me, all clear and thetan-free . . . "
He's an idiot. Saw him in War of the Worlds this weekend. Too bad he's such a jerk. Unfortunately, I cannot separate him from his characters anymore. I loved TopGun. Too bad..... At least I didn't pay to see him in War of the Worlds.......
How WAS War of the Worlds? Don't wanna waste 2 bucks, you know.
It was ok. Not great, but ok. Good special effects. If you know someone who has it, it is worth the time to borrow it, and return it....
I saw him in War of the Worlds a couple of weeks ago. In an early scene in the movie, he has a game of catch with his "son". Unable to suspend our belief for the remainder of the movie, my wife and I kept saying, "He throws like a girl!".
Agreed.
belief = disbelief .... sheesh.
A little baby with a resemblance to L. Ron Hubbard?
Tom with himself, yes. Katie, well.....she's cute, she's young, she gets a pass from an old horn-dog.
Anything else I have to say about Tom, will undoubtedly result in my FReeper account being "banned or suspended"
How very weird this is.
OOOooooo, BURN!
In "Mission Impossible" where he glowers "You don't want to see me mad", I absolutely lost it. Tiny Tom trying to look terrifying was just too much.
Say, Tom, if I may make just a teensy-weensy suggestion, how about buying the young lady . . .
A FREAKING WEDDING RING ALREADY!
