Tom Cruise may have just gone through one of the important, most-changing events that a person will ever go through – seeing his baby come into the world – but that isn't stopping him hawking the shit out of it so that people go and see his new film.
Understandably thrilled at his new baby daughter Suri, Tom Cruise went on American TV show 20/20 to discuss his feelings, and he didn't hold back. Tom Cruise called the birth "spiritual," "powerful," and "indescribable;" which sort of renders the first two of Tom's descriptions null.
Tom Cruise is just like every other parent of a newborn baby. Sure, Tom jumps on more furniture than other parents, and does more handstands on pianos, and is blamed for more instances of burnt penises… OK, look, Tom Cruise isn't really that much like every other parent of a newborn baby. But he does share one trait with other parents – monomaniacally blabbering on about his baby to anyone who'll listen.
Speaking on ABC show 20/20 to promote Mission: Impossible III, Tom Cruise couldn't resist talking up the birth of baby Suri to host Deborah Roberts:
"It was spiritual. It was powerful. It was indescribable. What words can you use?"
How about 'silent', 'conclusively heterosexual' and 'delicious', for starters? Also on 20/20, Tom Cruise gritted his teeth and tried to make the best of that other by-product of being a father – listening to everyone else endlessly wittering on at you about their kids, even though you really couldn't give half a toss about them:
"It was so much fun everyone was telling me their experiences about their children."
We can't help feeling, though, that baby Suri popped out of Katie Holmes a little too early for Tom's liking. After all, Mission: Impossible III isn't even released for another 12 days, and all this baby talk is going to seem like yesterday's news by then. If only Tom Cruise could somehow secure the first sneaked photograph of baby Suri to be released at some point in the week leading up to the film's release date…
