CRUISE OPENS UP ABOUT CONTROVERSIAL INTERVIEWS
TOM CRUISE has opened up about his controversial behaviour during two high profile U.S. TV interviews in 2005 - insisting he could have "handled things better".
The actor came stunned fans by leaping on a couch on Oprah Winfrey’s daytime talk show to proclaimed his love for then-girlfriend Katie Holmes, and jokingly refers to the incident as "My year of jumping dangerously," in an interview with People magazine.
In a separate incident, Cruise got into a heated exchange with Matt Lauer on The Today Show, calling psychiatry "pseudo science" and publicly criticising actress Brooke Shields over her use of medication to treat postpartum depression.
Cruise tells People, "All I want is to help people. I could have communicated it in a way that was better, no question.
"I think I could have handled things better." The actor is scheduled to reappear on The Today Show for another interview with Lauer on Monday (15Dec08).
