You watch the world complain, but you do it anyway...

Lots of randomness. And begin.
I think we make Tom Cruise to be worse than he may be, because he is crazy. Tom Cruise is an out-there-wackjob with some of his religious and scientific beliefs, and parenting methods, but not EVERYTHING he does is crazy. He is still a very talented actor and other than some of his ideas, seems to be a good and decent man, and I think sometimes some of his actions, under the microscope of the Hollywood media, are viewed as being stranger because he is Tom Cruise.
I saw a clip about him giving Suri a "Valkyrie" teddy bear of his character, in German military apparel and eyepatch. I thought, "that's creepy." A patch-eyed Nazi teddy bear? For a 2-year old girl? But then I thought, "wait, if Tom HANKS were to do the same thing? That'd be kind of fatherly and cute." And I think that we should do that. Whenever we judge a seemingly ridiculous thing done by Tom CRUISE, imagine how it would look if Tom HANKS did the same thing.
Tom Hanks is a talented, beloved, admired, and intelligent man. He is generally well-liked world round. He seems to be a nice guy and a gentleman and a scholar. Some of the things Tom Cruise does are not in and of themselves "weird," but because we know he is, we assume everything he does is nuts. I feel that is unfair to Tom Cruise, who gets more slack than he deserves.
I'm not saying Cruise shouldn't be held accountable for all the truly ridiculous behavior he exhibits. He should be. But next time, just think about what you would think of the same behavior if exhibited by Tom Hanks, before deciding if it's actually nuts.
