Steven Spielberg, left, and Tom Cruise attend the 95th Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon on Monday, Feb. 13, 2023, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. Much was made last week about Tom Cruise being the toast of the Oscars nominees luncheon, and how his one-time director Steven Spielberg was heard praising the actor for saving Hollywood and the theatrical movie industry by shepherding “Tom Gun: Maverick” into a $1.48 billion worldwide blockbuster.
“People will remember that Tom Cruise was very enthusiastic about Scientology and Katie Holmes in that period,” Masters, a longtime entertainment journalist, said. While Cruise later apologized to Shields and invited her to his 2006 fairy-tale wedding to Holmes in an Italian castle, the damage was done to the actor’s once sterling reputation.
Page Six also reported that Spielberg was “furious” with Cruise because he, too, knew children for whom “Ritalin does a lot of good,” according to. But the issue that “really snapped the bond” between Cruise and Spielberg is that the director, “naively,” talked to Cruise about a doctor who prescribes Ritalin, Masters said.
