The Real Time host injected, “You’re telling me Tom Cruise does this?”
“Yes,” Remini responded. “Not only does Tom Cruise do exactly that … Now, I don’t want you to get the idea that he’s not, that certain policies are not being bent for him because they are and that is the truth, and that is part of the hypocrisy.”
Maher suggested that Cruise, 54, could “single-handedly” end the “religion” and Remini agreed. “He could end this,” she said, adding that he personally holds a lot of weight within the church.
“Changing the planet? He couldn’t even make Jack Reacher a hit,” Maher joked.
