Hollywood actor Tom Cruise is planning to eat his new baby's placenta, it emerged today.
It is the latest in a series of unusual revelations by the 43-year-old Mission Impossible star about the child he is expecting with fiancee Katie Holmes.
He told GQ magazine: "I'm gonna eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there."
Cruise has also claimed he knew actress Holmes, 27, was pregnant, even before she told him.
A follower of Scientology, he has defended the religion's belief that women should give birth in silence.
"It's really about respecting the woman. It's not about her not screaming," he has told GQ.
Cruise, who also believes he can cure drug addicts, plans to marry Holmes in the summer. He said earlier this month that their baby was due "any day now".

Ping!
This will help people stop thinking he is crazed lunitic. [/sarcasm
And then will he start gnawing on the baby for the main course?
Why is he waiting to marry her? Does he need to be sure she has the baby without screaming first?
What a despicable, sick excuse for mankind.
Love the key words!
He's pretty wacko. And no matter what he says, it's always in a way "Tom first".
I believe he said this tongue in cheek. I mean Scientology is strange, but I have been around a few of them, and they aren't THAT strange.
Ewww... just gross. Glad that I hadnt had breakfast yet. Think I will just skip.
Seriously, isnt it time for someone to step in and intervene in this situation? Um, Katies Mom and Dad?
HHhhmmmmm?
Tom Cruise and unnamed placental donor during happier times.
It wouldn't surprise me if Matt and Trey were working on it, yes. Cruise became stranger than one of their episodes about him, now they have to catch up.

This pregnancy reminds me of "Rosemary's Baby'. There were a bunch of wackos involved in that also.
Hey Tom what about a pig's placenta?
I will tell you why he is waiting to marry herre. If that baby is born with any sort of birth defect, he is going to drop her and beat feet. If I remember correctly, Scientologists don't believe in caring for the disabled. Hence, Terry Schiavo. (Schiavo's attorney is a big wig in the Scientologist movement.)
That would be cannibalism.... a pig eating a pig.
I had already reached the point where I couldn't bear to watch a Tom Cruise movie...now this.
I don't believe it of course, I mean even Tom Cruise wouldn't tell the world he was going to do something so revolting. But wait....he did star in that Vampire movie.
Personally, I never thought she was all that hot.
But if you look close, she kinda reminds you of a female Tom Cruise.
Actually, though, if he's all hungry for the placenta, maybe he should be blond(e) instead...
I just can't figure it, these people get to end up worth millions
Kind of reminds me of that horror who kidnapped that ten year-old girl and was fixing to eat her.
I didn't know Scientologists practiced cannabalism.
That was one scary freakin movie.
