THIS IS WHAT BROUGHT ME HERE

His expression at 0:20 LOL “Let’s see Paul Allen’s card”

TBF Bale is a right prick to everyone close to him and otherwise and embodies all the negative, angry drunk British traits so I'm not surprised he'd interpret any sort of friendly behaviour with suspicion.

He and Letterman are more human than anyone in there. Also the whole story was made up, that's why Cruise made himself laugh. It was too ridiculous.

bruh sh*t your f*cking insufferable pretentious a** up ffs you're more like American Psycho tan Tom was on this interview 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

ikr xD

Na7vy what's ikr?

Couldn't relate more

Hey me too! I just came here to watch this because my wife is reading the book American Psycho and she just now told me about Christian Bale basing his portrayal of Patrick Bateman on this interview! 😆 Okay now I get it! It's gonna be fun to watch the movie again and imagine it being batshit crazy Tom Cruise!

Same

@@rosanaghgriffiths damn, it would've been such a cool story

This interview was actually in 1999 per Google. American Psycho came out in 2000.

Toni I totally see Patrick Bateman in this interview! Christian Bale nailed it.

Bale is the one to talk!

Kevin Black bravo!!

Tom is pretty nuts but this interview was actually funny as hell, he really seemed to laugh genuinely here.

He didn’t base the whole character on Cruise, that’s a common misconception. Cruise was just one of the numerous sources of inspiration, and only for a certain aspect of the character.

except for the fact that you can't look him in the eye on set lmao, yeah totally down to earth

Oh what a croc of shit do you believe everything you hear?

If there is one thing that Tom Cruise ain't...it's down to Earth. Total nutbag.

Awww! That's a cool story. Thanks for sharing that:)

I have actually heard from many that have worked for him in pictures that he is a really nice man when he's alone and not his Scientology entourage. When he's on set, he is a consummate professional and the crew always love him.

DevilMaskMedia Me too.. Thought he was quite jovial and entertaining.

Geotubest 3.3m views, if it was merely Tom Cruise on Letterman, along with 100 other videos with the same name perhaps it would be 30k

Geotubest He always is. Never a boring moment with Cruise, unlike other celebs who put you to sleep.

shadowheart52 Agreed Shadowheart. I think he's great. Saw him in person a few days ago, really by accident.. stumbled upon a red carpet event as I was heading home... but anyway, he stood around for ages signing autographs, posing with people for pictures, really engaging with fans. Went far beyond what he had to do. I respect him.

T.C. Is fucking weird but i love the guy

Scary right

He’s hammered.

Yes, finally his pshcopathic murderous side has been exposed. 😇😇😇

+Brasstacks Now there's a scary thought. lol

+Brasstacks Is Cruise a has been? Yep, he's a has been alright

Yeah

transgender

So I'm looking for tom cruise gone crazy video on youtube, so far he has behaved sensibly in every video I watched. He gets angry when interviewers poke him too far (like every other celebrity interview) but he handles it pretty well. I want to see a video where he is irrational.

Likeable sadist.

I know that I'm stating the obvious here, but something is wrong with Mr. Cruise. I pity his friends.

Todd Boothbee I will tell you what is wrong with Mr. Cruise and that is he has been into to many things that are not of God and the only thing that is gonna help him is having faith in Yahuwshuwa and leaving the Aliens/Demons alone

Victor Del Prete Based on what?

Tylus Dawkins Ben Fellows, fmr child actor has some very interesting stuff to say about Cruise. It's not good.

why can't I see that emptiness behind his eyes?

@@sahilasif40Not emotionally intellegent enough

Isn't this a 2004 interview? Lol did he time travel?

@@qwerty_9922 😭

yeah, no. He based his personality on the book the character was written in. The movie was a book 1st.

Sadly that's exactly what the church wants you to do. They make money off of people liking this sellout.

jasen muller True! I don't like him or scientology, but this was hilarious! Not time to judge, just a funny story.

cyninbend What if it was you with low oxygen on the plane. Maybe if you knew what could have happened because of it, you wouldn't think it so funny. This guy has no respect for anyone. Not even himself. Thank you.

@@lawrencekedz You're absolutely right, dude. The people who commented above you are completely clueless, I hope neither of those mouth-breathing lobotomites ever have children, they'd suffocate them with a pillow and say, "Aha, look how quiet the baby got! Hahaha!" Just good ol' merry fun, depriving someone of oxygen, right guys? No, but seriously, thanks for being a voice of reason (for 8 years!)

Yes, finally his pshcopathic murderous side has been exposed. 😇😇😇

+Franklin NJ I'd bet it's a generational thing... People like myself, that started watching him in the 80's, tend to love him and how he behaved towards guests in my experience. Even when he was being a dick I found him funny. Yet, I don't know many people in my age group that are huge fans of Leno or Conan (Although I found Conan a hell of a lot more entertaining than Leno)

+Franklin NJ Honestly most all of these night show hosts are way too full of themselves I don't understand how anyone enjoys it

+Franklin NJ that exactly why he was the best

+Franklin NJ yeah he won't let guests BS him. He's gonna keep asking questions if he doesn't like your answers and, well, he can do it cuz it's his show.

+Franklin NJ He's buzzed out of his head Franklin

nO, HE'S BAT SHIT CRAZY!!!

Attempted man slaughter lmao

This is the interview American Psycho is based on. Because of the dead eyes.

Dude's laughing at a guy being passed out because of oxygen deprivation. Lmao.

@@lacehopk You are wrong about that

yes

no it is not

No. You're allowed to laugh if you find something funny:)

Dan Of The People 😁😁

Yes, you're. Some of this anti-cult people are so mad. If you don't agree with them and their radical method's, you're a scientologist or a cult member. Even when you criticize psychiatry with valid arguements. (Scientology does that also, but they're controlled opposition to make anti-psychiatry look less credible) Such as: That some measure's of psychiatry are clearly against civil right's & the concept of a free will, that it is always used against political dissident's & social behavior tha is morally not accepted by the mqainstream (Psychiatry wasn't "abused" in soviet system or in nationsocialism, it IS in itself a institution that is used against such people, even in the "democratic" west!), that antipsychotic drug's & psychoactive drug's in general a highly questionable, that there is a complex between the political elite/lobby, the pharma industry and mental hospital's, that psychology deliever's alternative measure's that are working and that everyone must have the free will to use these and refuse psychiatry as an instititution. You believe all or some of this arguemnts are valid? You won't use the psychiatry because you think these method's will damage your health? You wanna get a step further and take political action against it? CULT MEMBER! Most of the cult-awareness guy's are a treat to civil right's and not better than all the cult's. They have a similiar beleive system. Don't forget that the mianstream society with all moral's, law's etc. are nothing more than a believe system in it self! Everyone should look up Scientology by himself. There is clear evidence that this cult was a CIA operation. It is unclear if there still CIA connection's today. I doubt it. You should also look up into neuroscience. They developing new mind control technique's never before seen. The gov't, and it's tool psychiatry, can't wait to use this on dissident people...

Dan Of The People yes.

Dan Of The People Careful man. By their own rules, just even mentioning that 'S' word leaves you open to them as 'Fair Game'.

***** Not sure how the friendship status is relevant to the story. It's Cruise's private plane -- did you think he was a stowaway?

***** You have no clue what you are talking about

***** No oxygen? The passenger never was without oxygen -- he would be dead, genius. The passenger's "concentration" of oxygen was reduced, enough to sustain life, but not enough to remain conscious. The passenger was in zero danger. Did you go to school?

***** Making it up? Every 5th grader knows, the higher you go, the "thinner" the air. There was plenty of oxygen at their altitude to "survive". The only reason the pilots needed oxygen was to remain "conscious". You kinda have to be awake to fly a plane, you don't have to be awake if you are a passenger. Cruise did not "cut off" the passenger's oxygen (he would be dead) -- he "cut off the passenger's [supplemental] oxygen" needed for consciousness. Therefore, the passenger was "never" in danger.

***** You disagree with which part? The actions of an experienced pilot, or the way oxygen works on planet earth? Gotta open a book now and then.

RayfieldA yes

Tom Cruise laughter isn’t real. He’s dead behind the eyes

Wow aren't you gullible.

@@Tebay71 Maniacal laughter is that much more of a contagious thing. Lol.

Then you will love the interview between Jimmy fallon and bradley cooper called "Bradley Cooper and Jimmy Can't Stop Laughing (Extended Version)" check it out... funny as fk

So you love acting?

Easy lover

Cruise is so fake that Christian Bale based his serial killer character, in American Psycho, after Cruise, Bale noted Cruises intensity yet his eyes being totally empty.

Acting. Cruise was trying to get out of the lie he was caught in. Man some of you people would know a lie if it slapped you in the face.

@Warren Price why do you think he's pretending to laugh?

@@paniniextrafromage5647 Because he is a terrible actor. The real question is how the hell cant you see he is fake as?

@@paniniextrafromage5647 I actually can’t pretending to laugh like that good. I would probably choke up

@@XxXChizelXxX really dude ? 9 billion box office gross worldwide ? have much have you made. stand on your money see who shorter

@@ghostland8646 The possibility of manslaughter is always a fun subject...especially when you are rich and famous right? You realize how deranged you sound?

Once u question pharma, they will try to destroy your career even to a power actor like TC. Pharma has big dollars and can make the media paint you as "crazy" for not liking their drugs.

pccchurch Yes, I can see they've ruined his career.

pccchurch 100% agree.

LOL! Funnier than Robin Williams? Williams was a comic genius. Ridiculous. I have nothing against Cruise. As a leading man, he's not a bad actor and that's rare. Most leading men can't act at all.

Totally agree about Tom Cruise! This interview was hilarious to me! Though I never thought that any of Robin Williams interviews were funny at all, he was a genius in front of the camera as an actor and doing what he did best! But yes, Tom is a pretty great guy!

I’m a guy and I think he so cute and handsome as well, nobody can ever be close to Tom Cruise’s personality, he ain’t afraid to show anything, it seems he loves being himself

@@arkhamsinfamouswickedthot9497 It was bold as hell, him telling that story.

@@archangelrevelations9532 Omg I totally agree with you nonetheless sister fr tho

***** Passable joke.

***** The craziness of their ideas is. Muslims might be more adamant and violent in their convictions and beliefs, but the stuff they believe in isn't much different.

***** I don't understand your post. Can you reformulate?

***** Yeah, 'these days' perhaps. But I think you are forgetting how terrible Christianity has been, and for a much longer period. Islam weren't as intolerant when it first originated, whereas Christianity started out as a violent rebellious mob 500 years earlier. Of all the atrocities committed by Islam; Christianity has been there as well. Rape, torture, unjustifiable murder and wars. And don't think for a second these things don't continue these days

***** Christianity started out violent; The few non-christian sources we have of early christians tend to agree that they were trouble-makers and made disturbances with their superstitions; not only towards non-christians but also to other christians who didn't agree. All that resulted in emperors such as nero persecuting them and wanting them gone (why do you otherwise think they were persecuted...?). The great fire of rome was hypothesised to be made by early Christians. They despised how their rebellious leader, christ, was punished. When the time of constantine came about the violence got even worse: according to theologians such as Miroslav Volf, "one of the most celebrated christian theologians of our day": "Beginning at least with Constantine's conversion, the followers of the Crucified have perpetrated gruesome acts of violence under the sign of the cross. Over the centuries, the seasons of Lent and Holy Week were, for the Jews, times of fear and trepidation; Christians have perpetrated some of the worst pogroms as they remembered the crucifixion of Christ, for which they blamed the Jews. Muslims also associate the cross with violence; crusaders' rampages were undertaken under the sign of the cross." And I think you need to read up on the amount of violence, rape and death that continue to this day by christians; especially in africa. You are CLEARLY biased as fuck if you think the only violence that takes place are by christians defending themselves against muslims. Probably a christian yourself?

You think turning off someone's oxygen until they lose consciousness is funny? Maybe you're crazy too.

@Blueviolet85: I also thought it was funny. But I guess it's 2016 and you can't say ANYTHING without somebody complaining about something.

@wulf67: You are REALLY pissed off aren't you?................take a deep breath.........life isn't that bad.

I respect your concern for the fellow at the back but I sort of got the impression that at this point he knows the story and probably laughed about it too. Tom made sure to point out that it wasn't dangerous and I really don't believe that he or his co-pilot harboured a sinister desire to seriously harm anyone.

Blueviolet85 No "it's not dangerous" to cut someone's oxygen off until they lose consciousness. lmao

Hello great fan , thanks so much for the compliment towards me I really appreciate.

+Caffinator Man You'd flash your big white shiny smile and buy expensive shoes...

+Caffinator Man I wish it was me and not him, at least then I won't have that influence to spread the name of Scientology.

+. Caffinator That is damn funny!

lol

bass bro...

Lel

Good old Schaffer and co

Lmfao

Unfortunate? That was contagious laughter right there. Most of these late night shows is the same old rinse, repeat, formulas. It's refreshing to see some of the celeb's "break character" for a minute. For all the wacky shit we hear about Cruise he came off like a genuine guy here

Serious case of the giggles. Tom needs oxygen from laughing so hard.

Tom Cruise is "over the top" in many instances.. here seems more unusual... in that he sees to be manipulating the crowd and seeing how long they will laugh at his seemingly unfunny gag... and everytime they laugh with the same vigour as the first time.. strange bloke that one

jason johnson your a odd one aren't you

Most of the times, it's because of stress or because you are tired. You just discharge.

lmao nick i am surprised no one has seen this comment from 5 years ago

_R3N_ same, here before 500 replies

“I don’t even know who you are” ~Thanos 2019

nick eh 30 more like nick er haah get it right

His hands were wet from wiping his tears. Pretty obvious lol

Cracking up reading this line - nice one!

It actually was hilarious

Lmao

Have my babies.

meh, your view has flaws.

Tom is not one of my favs,but his reaction during this interview busted my gut and brought happy tears to my face.The guy is having fun in this interview.I believe most of these comments speak for themselves.

I know right....they call this crazy?! The person who posted this obviously doesn't have a sense of humour....I literally laugh like this when I start remembering something hilarious, and his story was pretty funny!

The whole reason people think he's crazy is because of his appearance on Oprah, and his beliefs in Scientology.

i agree with you

Docter Zaius Yeah, and? He's batshit.

My family friend is family with Tom they all think he is Insane so yeah I know the family member personally and they all think he is crazy lol

Okay you know what? fine, maybe he was just overly cheerful on letterman, whatever, now, watch the Oprah interview, that shit is fucked, I'm 80% sure he was on cocaine or some shit that night, it's fucked up

I find him cool based on this interview..

***** I mean, i strongly disagree with his religion but other than that, he seems really cool.

he's s narc

+Jillian Michele You dislike him because that's what you're *supposed* to do. You are simply on the anti-Tom Cruise bandwagon missy. Scientology is completely stupid, and Cruise is a little bit socially awkward in some ways, but to say that you find him "incredibly unlikable"? BANDWAGON. I'm sure you don't see it this way, so I'll go ahead and skip the bullshit back-and-forth and just say "agree to disagree."

+Parmetheus Hawke because he laughs a lot, its a charisma thing!

+TheIrek666 LOL. It's so funny how you think you know what you're talking about. Go ask a doctor how "safe" it is to turn off someone's oxygen in a situation like that.

Serai3 For the last time, He HAD oxygen in the air and it was enough to keep him alive . Also, I didn't say it was safe, but It's not life threatning to be exposed to low oxygen concentration for a while. Of course, it depends how low, but I bet Tom being a pilot knows that, so if it was an actual danger to the passenger he would take the risk and descend. It's basic physics and physiology, you don't need to be a doctor.

JohnnieRhodes What jealousy? Sounds like someone is trying to play psychologist. Video is in fact very funny, I was just trying to explain to people that Tom Cruise is not some jerk who was endangering passengers life for no reason. If you don't believe me or common sense, believe that every pilot knows how increasing altitude decreases air pressure (ergo oxygen concentration) and how to react in that kind of situtations.

Oh, sorry for missread.

+Serai3 even if that died thats not a major issue as Tom cruise is God so be has right take other people lives he has I the one ultimately who gave us know life

Admitting to cutting off someone's oxygen, which causes brain damage even if it does not kill, isn't dark enough? Is it not dark enough that he did this not for any emergency reason, nor with consent, but just because he felt like flying at a particular altitude? Or that he KNOWS he can tell the story on Letterman and laugh his ass off about it in front of the whole world because he is Tom Cruise? Apparently he is so cute when he does his big grin and giggle routine that his fans eagerly laugh it up at his casual assaults. Even Letterman seems astounded, but Tom just laughs more, showing Dave that his superpower smile is proof against any legal ramifications. Seems pretty dark to me.

kidjr27 Thanks, I feel a little less lonely. :)

kidjr27 . I don't find this vid amusing either, there is something ominous about his story. I also don't think he was meant to finish his story, hence the uncontrolable laughing. Not sure, just saying. This vid's off

that would be so fucking awesome :D

Lord Emilous . No it wont

+Lee Penrose plenty of clips make him look like an alright guy. Even on the vids where he goes on about scientology you can tell he's at least trying to do good through it. I remember Tom Cruise helping out the firefighters of 9/11 with their health problems from inhalation metal and dust. He really has a good heart.

+Lee Penrose Yeah, because admitting that he put someone's health and life in danger, and laughing while he admits it, are absolutely indicators of what a swell guy he is.

Wow. You are way too stiff for youtube. Loosen up. Haven't you ever had any fun? Passing out in a plane is totally safe and a normal occurence.

+Serai3 *cough* get wrecked

+Lee Penrose Yep, it's called click bait.

Monsterdrumma name dropping much? If you become a big enough fan you may even learn to spell Jim Carrey's name one day..

he is crazy

That's what psychopaths do.

Cruise is a legit Hollywood legend like it or not. People don't think they get star struck until sitting in a theatre with them a few feet away. I have no idea how people expext the man to behave when hes living in a weird simulated really where he's deemed almost an avatar and never treated normally.

Do you know what he's a part of?? If not, do some research...

true true

hell yeah it was !!

Ive done that same shit trying to tell a funny story before he just didn't explain it as well because he was laughing too hard from remembering it lol.

+31acruz Tom Cruise is a dangerous person...same as his ludicrous religion. This man Tom Cruise is a sick insane dangerous human being...or is he an alien?....He's very scary...

islam is worse scientology is just dumb

Cutler Cycles genuine scientologist

So was Joseph Goebbles.

look up symptoms of narcissism, enjoy getting over on others.

Cruise is completely full of shit and letterman knows it. Him probing him about climbing is making cruise uneasy and is clearly calling him out on his lies

+Push Back He always laughs like that.

hahahah

A bong called Scientology.

Tom Cruise = Legend

zven gally no idiot. He saved their lives by cutting the oxygen off. There was plenty of it anyway. Not required until 15.000 feet.

snappycruise ... An hour later and im still not sure how to take your comment. Lol. Seriously though!

Horror Readings by G.M. Danielson no clickbait

I mean it's a little crazy

Christopher Parks taking someone’s oxygen then laughing hysterically about it is crazy 😂

LaFlare It wasn’t life threatening in any way. I would laugh about it too. As if you had never pranked your friends (if you have friends).

Box0rz did you watch the video ? Being that high definitely is life threatening with no oxygen. How tf is that a prank. You clearly have no friends and have never played a prank before.

Lol amen dude

you laugh because a demon gave some guy a brain stroke !

+Nicole Coldren same here , thats very true btw

Thanks for the comment towards me great fan , I really appreciate so much.

He has no soul lol. This is the laugh of a souless vessel

proof that he is a troll

That was your interpretation.

🙏🏻

You can’t trick cruise, he even makes the most awkward situations exciting lol

@@Rlrlrl1962 I don't find the awkward situation of him not visiting/holding/cuddling his own daughter in 12 years exciting.

No. Letterman mistook rock climbing for mountain climbing. Totally different hobbies.

Letterman was the one who changed the subject! Did you even watch the video? 😦

I wonder if he's really as crazy as everyone says though. I saw the Scientology video and I saw him dancing on Ellen or Oprah or something but he might just be different and just had a few weird and irrational moments and he might just be brainwashed by scientologists.

Matthew Davis At 4:20 he looks like he might be crazy but I think he might just have had uncontrollable laughter (Ive had uncontrollable laughter just like that) or he was on good weed and mushrooms.
