More on Tom Cruise

There was an interesting article about Tom Cruise I saw today. I guess when real people meet Tom Cruise they get a take on the real guy unlike what some "sensationalists" in the media like to write (make up?).

Here's what that article says in part: ....mother and daughter were both surprised when Cruise walked to their table and spoke to them."He thought we were French at first," Green said. "He said ‘bonjour,’ and I said ‘bonjour,’ and when he asked where we were from I said ‘les Etats-Unis.’"

"He seemed pretty happy that we were Americans, and that he could talk to us," Czarnecki said. "So he shook our hands, and asked us where we were from. We asked if we could take a picture with him and he said yes. ..he was really nice. Very down-to-earth.

"Cruise was in Paris in late April to promote his new movie, "Mission: Impossible III," and, according to press reports, to shop for baby clothes. His fiancee, Katie Holmes, and their then week-old daughter, Suri, stayed home in Los Angeles. While Cruise and his entourage were in the café, the staff would not allow any new customers in. So Green and Czarnecki were the only other customers in the café. The whole time we were eating, people were just looking in the window and using their camera phones, trying to get a picture [of Cruise], Czarnecki said."We didn’t talk to him anymore after that," Green said. We kept looking over, but we didn’t want to bother him while he was eating with his kids."

For the past few months, Cruise has been the subject of extensive media coverage and controversy focusing on his Scientologist beliefs and his relationship with Holmes. But Czarnecki believes such coverage doesn’t tell the whole story.
