Since he was a child, Tom Cruise wanted to be a catholic priest.

The superstar of Hollywood reveals this particular in an interview where he speaks about his difficult childhood: his father beat him, with consequences that have marked his youth.

“He’s arrogant and coward,” he says to the magazine Parade.

“He’s that kind of person that if something goes bad, he’d beat someone,” he explains.

“It’s been a big lesson in my life.” Cruise grow up in the worst poor conditions, in a catholic family dominated by the invasive figure of his father, Thomas Cruise Mapother III, an electrician who has never maintained a regular job for long time, obliging the family to move from one place to another.

On 1974, when the actor was 11, his mother was sufficiently brave to leave her husband.

“There’s something deeply wrong on that man,” remembers Cruise, “We’ve never trusted him.

Being always aware.

A continuous anxiety.” The actor saw his father only 10 years ago, when he went to see him to the hospital, while he got cancer.

“He accepted to see me for one condition: I wouldn’t ask him anything about his past behaviour,” remembers the actor in the interview, “When I saw him at the hospital, twisted for the pain, I thought that he must have been lonely in his life, a sad life.”
