Cruise/Wagner Productions responded that the Paramount announcement was a face-off step after the production company had successfully searched for alternative funding from private equity firms.

"
Dating Penelope Cruz and Nazanin Boniadi
Cruise next deals romantically with PenÃÆ' Â © lope Cruz, his co-star at Vanilla Sky (2001). The relationship ended in 2004.

According to the sources, a series of "auditions" of the Scientologist actress produced a brief connection with the British-Iranian actress, Nazanin Boniadi, who later left Scientology.
Lawyers of the Church of Scientology and Cruise issued a strong denial and threatened to sue, accuse Vanity Fair of "bad journalism" and "religious bigotry." Journalist Roger Friedman later reported that he received an email from the director and former Scientificist Paul Haggis who confirmed his story.
Marry Katie Holmes
In April 2005, Cruise began dating actress Katie Holmes. On April 27 of that year, Cruise and Holmes - dubbed "TomKat" by the media - made their first public appearance together in Rome.

On June 29, 2012, Holmes filed for divorce from Cruise after five and a half years of marriage. On July 9, 2012, the couple signed a divorce settlement by their lawyer. Because New York law requires that all divorce documents remain sealed, the exact provisions of the settlement are not publicly available.
Scientology
Cruise is a vocal advocate for the Church of Scientology and related social programs. He became involved with Scientology in 1990 through his first wife, Mimi Rogers. Cruise struggled with dyslexia at an early age and said that Scientology, especially L. Ron Hubbard Study Tech, helped him overcome dyslexia.
Cruise Advocacy on Scientology
In addition to promoting programs that introduce people to Scientology, Cruise has campaigned for Scientology to be recognized as a religion in Europe. In 2005, the Paris city council revealed that Cruise had lobbied officials Nicolas Sarkozy and Jean-Claude Gaudin, described him as a spokesman and militant for Scientology, and banned further ties with him.
Cruise founded and collected donations for Downtown Medical to offer detoxification therapy to New York City 9/11 rescue workers based on the work of L. Ron Hubbard. It invites criticism from the medical profession and from firefighters.
For such activities, Scientology leader David Miscavige created the Scientology Freedom Medal of Valor and handed it to the Cruise in late 2004.
Psychiatric criticism
In January 2004, Cruise made a controversial statement "I think psychiatry should be banned." Further controversy erupted in 2005 after he publicly criticized actress Brooke Shields for using Paxil (paroxetine), an anti-depressant drug that Shields attributes her recovery from depression after childbirth after the birth of her first daughter in 2003. Cruise insists that there is no such thing as an imbalance chemistry and psychiatry it is a form of pseudosain. Shields replied that Cruise "should still save the world from aliens and let women who experience postpartum depression decide what treatment options are best for them." This led to a heated debate between Matt Lauer and Cruise at NBC's Today on June 24, 2005.
Medical authorities see Cruise's comments as a continuation of the social stigma of mental illness. Shields himself called Cruise's comment "detrimental to mothers everywhere." At the end of August 2006, Cruise apologized directly to Shields for his comments.
Scientology is renowned for its opposition to mainstream psychiatry and psychoactive drugs that are routinely prescribed for treatment. It was reported that Cruise's anti-psychiatric action caused a rift with director Steven Spielberg. Spielberg has been reportedly mentioned in Cruise's presence, the name of a doctor friend who prescribed psychiatric medication. Shortly thereafter, the doctor's office was guarded by Scientologists, reportedly infuriating Spielberg.
YouTube video abolition
On January 15, 2008, a video produced by the Church of Scientology featuring an interview with Cruise was posted on YouTube, showing Cruise discussing what Scientology meant to him. The Church of Scientology says the video was "hijacked and edited", and taken from a three-hour video produced for members of Scientology. YouTube removes Cruise videos from their sites under threat of litigation.
After YouTube investigates these claims, they find that the video does not violate copyright law, as it is protected by a fair use clause. It was later restored on the site, and by November 2017, the video had reached over 12 million views. YouTube refuses to remove it again, due to the popularity of the video, and further changes to the copyright policy of the website.
The recognized effect of Scientology on Cruise relationships
In 2013, Cruise stated that Katie Holmes's ex-wife divorced her partly to protect the daughter of the Suri couple from Scientology. He also said that Suri is no longer a member of a practicing church.
In March 2004, her 14-year publicist, Pat Kingsley, resigned. Cruise's next publicist is Lee Anne DeVette, Cruise's sister, who is also a Scientologist. He served in that role until November 2005. DeVette was replaced by Paul Bloch from Rogers and Cowan publicity companies. The restructuring is seen as a move to reduce the publicity of his views on Scientology, as well as the controversy surrounding his relationship with Katie Holmes.
The 2015 documentary Going Clear: Scientology and Belief Jail takes the spotlight on Cruise's role in Scientology. The film alleges that Cruise uses Sea Org workers as a free labor source. In the film, former Cruise auditor Marty Rathbun claims that Nicole Kidman's wife was tapped on the advice of Tom Cruise (which Cruise's lawyer rejected).
Legacy
In 2006, Premiere placed Cruise as the most powerful actor in Hollywood, when Cruise came in at number 13 on the 2006 Magazine's List of Workers, becoming the highest ranked actor. That same year, Forbes magazine ranked her as the world's strongest celebrity. The founder of CinemaScore in 2016 called Cruise and DiCaprio "two stars, no matter how bad the movie, they can pull the box office up."
In August 2006, Paramount quoted Cruise's "latest behavior" as the reason they did not renew their production contract with him. In addition, Marketing Evaluation reports that the Q Cruise score (a measure of celebrity popularity), has dropped 40 percent.
October 10, 2006, declared as "Tom Cruise Day" in Japan; The Japan Memorial Day Association says that he was awarded a special day because he has made more trips to Japan than any other Hollywood star.
"Tom Cruise Image"
While reviewing Days of Thunder, film critics Roger Ebert noted the similarities between several Cruise's 1980 films and dubbed the formula Tom Cruise Picture. Some new Cruise movies like A Few Good Men and The Last Samurai can also be considered as part of this formula.
Widescreenings notes that for Tom Cruise's Daniel Kaffee in A Few Good Men, the screenwriter "Aaron Sorkin is interesting taking the opposite approach of Top Gun , where Cruise also starred as a protagonist.In Cruise's top gun, Cruise plays Mitchell who is an underachiever 'hot shot' of the military who made the mistake of trying to outperform his late father.Where Maverick Mitchell needs to control his discipline, Daniel Kaffee should let him go, finally see what he can do. "Sorkin and director Rob Reiner are praised gradually launching Kaffee's potential in the film.
Litigation
During Cruise's marriage to Nicole Kidman, the couple experienced much public speculation about their sex life and rumors that Cruise is gay. In 1998, he succeeded in suing British Express Express, a British tabloid who alleged that his marriage to Kidman was a hoax designed to mask his homosexuality.
In May 2001, he filed a lawsuit against gay porn actor Chad Slater. Slater allegedly told the celebrity magazine Actustar that he had been involved in an affair with Cruise. This claim was strongly rejected by Cruise, and in August 2001 Slater was ordered to pay $ 10 million for Cruise in damages after Slater declared he was unable to defend himself against the lawsuit and would therefore fail.
Cruise also sued publisher Bold Magazine Michael Davis, who allegedly but never asserted that he has a video that will prove Cruise is gay. The lawsuit was dropped in exchange for a public statement by Davis that the video was not from Cruise, and that Cruise is heterosexual.
In 2006, Cruise sued cybersquatter Jeff Burgar to gain control over the domain name TomCruise.com. When owned by Burgar, the domain is diverted to information about Cruise at Celebrity1000.com. The decision to change TomCruise.com to Cruise was dropped by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) on July 5, 2006.
In 2009, Michael Davis Sapir filed a lawsuit that his phone had been tapped on Cruise's orders. The setting was dropped due to restriction laws.
