10 Most Cringe-Worthy Celebrity Interviews

3. Tom Cruise - "You're Glib"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cc_wjp262RY A 2005 interview between Today's Matt Laurer and Tom Cruise is running smoothly while they talk the usual pleasantries of a film puff piece for War of the Worlds, until Laurer asks Cruise about his comments decrying Brook Shields' use of medication to combat post-natal depression. Cruise, the world's most famous scientologist, gets into an argument with Laurer about the credibility of psychology, coming across as an arrogant idiot, insisting that Laurer doesn't understand the issue. The most famous line comes from Cruise, when he declares, "Matt, you're glib...you don't even know what Ritalin is". Cruise acts like he's the foremost authority on the subject, refusing to even consider Laurer's point of view, conducting himself as a zealous fool. Cruise did appear on the show again three years later, apologising for his arrogance rather than - as most had hoped - stirring up another unbearable moment of TV.
