> [@PunditLisa](#): > > Ew. He actually kind of scares me because it appears he actually believes the bullshit he spouts. The first time I saw the Scientology video, I kept waiting for him to, I don’t know, wink at the camera or something. When I realized that he was being earnest, I was mortified. Add in the postpartum interview with Matt Lauer, jumping on the couch with Oprah Winfrey, and the lengths Katie Holmes went to in order to blindside him in the divorce… well, now I think he’s a whackadoodle. this. ---

**OP** : maybe you should have worked up to “marry”. Like “Could you stand to ride on an elevator with Tom Cruise”. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > **OP** : maybe you should have worked up to “marry”. Like “Could you stand to ride on an elevator with Tom Cruise”. Hell no. And if he walked on it while I was still on my way up or down to another floor, I’d fart if I could. ---

I’m surprised at all the negative responses from women. It’s just marriage, it’s not like you have to sleep with him, or like he wants you to. Nobody mentioned a pre-nup, so hang around for a while, get divorced, take the settlement. He’ll pay extra for you not to reveal the details of your marital relationship. On the downside, the Sciencefolligists will be after you, but they are already. ---

This is like asking if I’d be happy coming into unlimited piles of cash. **OF COURSE I WOULD!!!** \* \*Assuming I were either a woman or homosexual. ---

This is that game, right? Marry, fuck, kill? Right? Oh. No then, I’m really not interested. His weirdosity overwhelms my desire for piles of cash - I couldn’t take it. I’m female and do find him reasonably attractive, but there’s this rule, you know? “Don’t stick your (metaphorical) dick in the crazy.” ---

Depends on the understanding. I hafta get dressed up and tell reporters how happy we are once in a while, and then he goes away to shoot movies and I get massages and manicures and a suite of rooms where I can read and draw and nap until the next time my public presence is required? Where do I sign? ---

As long as I didn’t have to sign any pre-nup or agree to be any part of Scientology. IOW, HE wouldn’t marry ME. But heck yeah, I’d do it. It can’t be any worse than how I’m living now. ---

Where do I sign? Yup. Money, fame, big houses, and presumably no need for intimate contact - I’d sell out for far less 🙂 ---

It can’t be any worse than how I’m living now. I do believe at this point you certainly WOULD have to sign a pre-nup and MOST certainly you would have to be indoctrinated into Scientology, leaving you a walking husk followed by Scieno spies/chaperones/bodyguards. I can’t imagine just “living the good life” like a typical trophy wife, unmolested for a few years and then amicably (mutually) calling it quits when your time is up. I think you would have to become a Scientologist. He would want a cultie wife. Like Scarlett Johansen, when she was invited to hear all about the loony business when she first met TC, I, too, would politely get up, walk out, and keep on walking to safety. ---
