Hannah Waddingham, who costarred with Tom Cruise on the most recent episode of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, recently responded to detractors of the actor.
Hannah spoke up for the Hollywood star and had nothing but positive things to say about him during an appearance on ITV’s James Martin’s Saturday Morning earlier this week.
“I have to say, I have a real problem with anybody that goes at him now,” the Ted Lasso actor said TV chef Martin, citing his five grueling days with Tom aboard the USS George HW Bush jet carrier. This was reported by The Independent.
She went on, “He is without a doubt one of the loveliest, most upbeat, inspiring, and positive human beings I have ever met.”
Hannah went on, “Isn’t he beautiful? I don’t have time to hear criticism of him from anyone.
Tom has a reputation for acting strangely when not on screen. The Top Gun actor gained notoriety in 2005 when he sprang across the couch to confess his love for his ex-girlfriend Katie Holmes during an appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show.
Later on, Tom and Matt Lauer disagreed over the practice of psychiatry, which he referred to as a “pseudo-science.”
Cruise was ridiculed by host Jerrod Carmichael earlier in January 2023 when he brought up Shelly Miscavige, the wife of Scientology leader David Miscavige, who hasn’t been spotted in public since the 2007 Golden Globes.
While hosting the Directors Guild of America Awards, Judd Apatow again made fun of Tom’s affiliation with Scientology in a number of jokes.
