One of my wonderful Tom Cruise and Katie HolmesCrazy readers let me know about this and I am so glad she did. It’s a great story!
On Monday, October 5th, Tom Cruise decided to surprise a professor and some students at Harvard. It was Prof. Bruce Hay’s Entertainment Law class and renowned lawyer to the stars Bertram Fields was there to give a lecture about his experiences in Hollywood. I bet that was one interesting talk!
Thirty minutes into the lecture, in walks Tom Cruise! He announced that he was there to see Bert speak because he had never heard him lecture before.
The whole article is great and I love the pictures of Tom interacting with the students. Here’s an excerpt that was one of my favorites:
Despite this, Cruise was gracious and charming, staying for an hour after class to speak intimately with the students. He answered questions such as, "Is there a role you regret not taking?" (short answer: no) and explained the interaction between paparazzi and his three children.
As he put it, he does not want his children to be afraid of anything, and so he downplays the intrusion of paparrazi. As young children often do, his daughter Suri has, according to Cruise, some comical responses. For example, she will sometimes throw down her hands and say "Why is this person following me?" and has responded to encroachments on her privacy by raising a hand and declaring, "Personal space!"
You can read the entire article and see the pictures here. And I must say, Tom is looking mighty good!! I imagine the students in that class will never forget this experience.
