• celebrities

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise has always been in the limelight, not just for his blockbuster roles, but also for his peculiar and sometimes baffling antics. Leah Remini, in her 2015 memoir "Troublemaker," sheds light on one such incident that adds to the list of Cruise's eccentricities.

According to a recent report by US Weekly, Remini recalls an evening when she was invited to a dinner party at Cruise's sprawling California residence. The evening took an unexpected turn when the "Top Gun" actor, in high spirits, proposed a game of hide-and-seek within his 7000-acre compound. To the surprise of many, Cruise designated Leah as "it" and swiftly disappeared into the vast expanse of his property.

Remini, taken aback by the sudden turn of events, confided in her husband, Angelo Pagan, expressing her reluctance to participate. She humorously recounted telling him that she wasn't "it" and had no intention of chasing after the A-list actor. While the details of the game remain hazy in her memory, Cruise was eventually crowned the victor of the evening's playful escapade.

Tom Cruise's Couch-Jumping Controversy

This isn't the first instance of Cruise's unconventional behavior making headlines. Many still remember the 2005 episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" where an exuberant Cruise leaped onto Oprah's couch, fervently declaring his love for then-girlfriend Katie Holmes. The incident stirred quite a controversy, with many questioning the actor's demeanor.

However, not everyone was quick to judge. Renowned director Steven Spielberg, in a conversation with Newsweek, came to Cruise's defense. Spielberg emphasized that his frustration wasn't directed at Cruise but at the media for sensationalizing a candid moment. He expressed his disappointment with the press for magnifying an innocuous incident.

In the ever-evolving world of Hollywood, where every action is under scrutiny, Cruise's idiosyncrasies continue to both baffle and entertain. Whether it's a spontaneous declaration of love or a playful game at a dinner party, Cruise surely knows how to keep the world talking.
