I'll eat the placenta, says Cruise
Hollywood actor Tom Cruise is planning to eat his new baby's placenta.

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 recently also said he believes he can cure drug addicts.

Reading his comments it seems he's almost odd enough to post on this message board...

I used to like his films - now all I see is a guy on the lunatic fringe. Having no interest in ''celebrity'' I have one question - has he always been so crazy? Its just the last few months stories about him have been everywhere....

And scientology - i'd poke fun at it but i'm afriad Lord Veto or whatever the alien queen they worship is called might actually come get me

Maybe, he should visit a local shrink. Or something. 

[Rockin' Rose]

I'd like to see Scary Movie 4 only because of the "Oprah scene"

I wonder what made him flip?

I wonder what made him flip?

Perhaps his shrink went on holiday at a bad time?

I love the whole bit about 'silent births' - espcially when advocated by a man!

Sounds like a spate of self-deprecating humor to me. Stabbing pop cultureward like...

[Mr. Dick Purple]

That will be very freaky, I dont know whats on Cruise head, worst on holmes head cause she follows the blind 

[Sakib]

i think that's strange and i don't like scientology principles but i don't think there's any point dissing as that's disrespectful. I'd love to scary movie for due the oprah bit and because Lesley Nielsen is a legend

[Axls Locomotive]

uhhh, isnt he just joking? gossip columns tend to dress everything in reality

[SuperMike]

He seemed normal enough back in the day, but now he terrifies me.

Yup.

Coudln't agree more

[Thorazine Shuffle]

Sounds to me like he was just joking and the press is purposely taking his statement out of context.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Even though you might be right, that doesn't make the guy less creepy, he was an ok guy, but now he seems pretty weird

Who cares?  Scientologists need to get their heads checked.

I think Cruise is just trying to get some more publicity while MI2 is out in cinemas.

Interesting. Some of tom's qoutes in there don't even prove that he's mad or a lunatic or whatever. But some thing about him are just really, really strange...

[Sterlingdog]

I know there was some speculation that his previous publicist kept him in check, so he didn't run around spouting off all his nutty stuff.  He fired that publicist and hired his sister (I think) shortly before he started making all these outrageous statements and talking about Scientology all the time. 

[Jamie]

If that's meant to be humour then it's really really bad humour. Like eating a placenta? What the fuck? That chap needs his head checked, seriously.

you mean by saying something that has been taken out of context to make it sound like he is a weird guy is designed to get more publicity for his movie?...

dont you think that maybe some magazines are taking his comment out of context in order to sell a few more copies to satisfy the idiots who think his joke is more interesting that the film plot or something specific to do with the film...or maybe some magazines are wanting to find ways to discredit his religion?...or maybe the magazines that go looking for comments by celebrities no matter who they are because stupid comments sell copies...

and who are these people anyway?..."oh look tom cruise might eat his wife's placenta"..."yea hey his new film sounds great and hes soooo weird, i gotta go see it"...if thats the kind of people that get motivated to see his movie then let them...theyre idiots

I actually saw an article about that interview a few days ago.  Everything was the same, except the one I read was missing the part about the placenta.  Edited out, I suppose.  I wonder why.
