I believe Tom Cruise is his generation’s Marlon Brando.

He’s got it all. A small measure of acting talent, which is completely overrated. Good looks, until he gains 20 pounds. You just wait. He’ll replace Don Zimmer in the public’s imagination as “The Chipmunk.” Insane, aggressive, boorish public appearances. Girlfriends / wives whose devotion to him is scary, to put it mildly. Condemnation by the old guard in Hollywood as a no-class buffoon. Pseudo-religious rambling.

When the breakdown comes, don’t say you weren’t warned.
