Reading the relevant excerpts of the deposition shows that Cruise's comments reveal a different story.

The comments come in a section of the deposition where Cruise is being asked about time he has spent away from daughter Suri, either because of film or other commitments.

"Now your counsel has publicly equated your absence from Suri for these extended periods of time as being analogous to someone fighting in Afghanistan," opposing counsel asks him. "Are you aware of that?"

"I didn't hear the Afghanistan," Cruise replies. "That's what it feels like and certainly on this last movie it was brutal. it was brutal."

"Do you believe that the situations are the same?" Cruise is asked.

"Oh come on," Cruise says, "you know, we're making a movie."

Cruise's attorney, Bert Fields, tells CNN in a statement, "Headlines stating he equated his job with those in the military are demonstrably false. They are a distortion of what is provable and on the record."

"Tom is a staunch supporter of our troops and does not feel that making a movie is even remotely comparable to fighting in Afghanistan and said so in plain English," Fields said.

Tom Cruise did not make widely reported claim that acting is as tough as combat

This whole thing was just TMZ shilling the Public for more ad dollars.


I ******* hate Tom Cruise....I loved him Tropic Thunder though.... but I hate the ******* media even more.... the worst part is that TMZ is operated by a ******* lawyer and he knows how to subvert the truth with little recourse to those he slanders Evil

Yeah. I absolutely do not support Mr. Cruise and his 'religious' activities, and I feel he has sucked in every movie he's done since the 80's except for that psychotic turn in "Magnolia". But the lying, twisting presentation methods of TMZ and all that is just even more appalling imho.

My only regret about Tom Cruise is that he was in Eyes Wide Shut. Since it was a Kubrick film I had to see it, and therefore see Tom Cruise. Any other movie of his I've been pretty managed not to have to look at. At least not all the way through, from start to end. \o/

Edit: Wait, I saw The Last Samurai all the way through. Being a samurai history fan, I had to see that one too.

I think Kubrick is a God, of course, but I'm not sure what could have saved that film.

Yeah, it was disappointing. Very different than Kubrick's other films. Then again, they're all really different from each other.

I've never seen a film packed with so much obviously weird stuff, and yet still remained so pointless and uninteresting.

Like how every single Christmas Tree in the film, no matter if it was a huge one in a mansion, a medium one in an office, or a tiny one on a desk somewhere, they all were decorated exactly alike with the same colored lights and no ornaments. I mean, what was the point of all that ?

It was like a maze with no explanations or exits.
