Tom Cruise Attends Lecture at Harvard

spl129127_038 One of my wonderful TomKatCrazy 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.

    He does look very good. Yes, no one can deny that Tom is very good with his fans. Come to think of it, he is very good with every one.

    That is a funny story about Suri. I can bet she has something to say about people who follow her. She is a feisty one.

    How could you possibly know that, Lauren? I’ll agree that Tom is excellent with the fans. He know’s where his bread is buttered, but to make such a broad statement doesn’t make sense unless you know every person Tom knows.

    I think he looks great too,that was a funny story about Suri, I guess a little kid might wonder why those people are following her all the time.

    I think he looks great.
    I am so glad that they came out with this so quickly because I could see the headline under the pics reading Tom goes to a lawyer’s lecture so he can hire him in his divorce to Katie.
