12. HE SEEMED LIKE THE BIGGEST ROMANTIC
When it was announced that Tom Cruise had started dating the young actress, Katie Holmes, people wondered whether or not it was a true romance. The public still hadn’t truly wrapped their minds around his divorce with Nicole Kidman and it seemed a bit odd for him to date a girl that was so much younger than him. Yet, the new couple seemed determined to showcase their love to the world, whether it was appearing on the red carpet or cruising around on his motorcycle.
When he appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2005, he gushed about his new romance with Holmes and even had her called out to join him on the couch to speak with Oprah. Yet, it was the “jumping on the couch” incident that had people wondering about his mental health. It didn’t seem like normal behavior and it made people wonder if he was trying to be over-the-top in order to prove that it really was a true romance.
