Tom Cruise appeared on the Today Show to apologize to Matt Lauer for his “glib” comment three years ago. The now-less-assy actor acknowledged he came off as “arrogant” during the interview, in which he spouted off about Brooke Shields, psychiatry, and postpartum depression.
“After looking at it, it’s not what I had intended,” he told Lauer. “That’s one of those things that you go, ‘I could have handled that better.’ I didn’t communicate it the way that I wanted to communicate it. That’s not who I am.
“I learned a good lesson,” Cruise told Lauer.
Cruise said he isn’t done publicly talking about Scientology or expressing his views on controversial social issues.
“I just think there’s a time and a place for it. Things can get misunderstood and twisted,” he said. “When people are tuning in to hear about my movie, that’s what I’m here to talk about it.”
I would like to think Tom genuinely changed, but I have a feeling he’s just trying to get us to buy tickets to his shitty new movie, “Valkyrie.”

Apperently Valkyrie is actaully pretty good, but I don’t think it’s because of Tom. I think it’s the rest of the cast (Which is pretty god damned awesome) and the fact that Bryan Singer can direct the shit out of a movie when he wants to.
