I just recently found this channel about a week and a half ago and since then I have binge watched your videos at every opportunity, I love you and your mates personalities and the jokes are so funny, your videos are really well made and the casual conversation style makes for a really easy and entertaining watch, I wish big for you and your channel in the future ❤️
If I had to guess why Cruise is simultaneously a high level Scientologist and also appears to be the nicest guy ever on Earth, it's actually really, REALLY simple. Cult empowerment. Tom Cruise is a scientology ambassador, essentially. It's a common thing in cults for there to be a goal for the members (particularly high-ranking ones) to be a big, flashy, well-known name, and to give the cult a good name by connection with that individual. They'll work to set Guinness records, they'll work to take titles in this or that, they'll work to be big name actors or whatever, all in the search of giving the cult more power (and money, if they do it right). And Cruise has always seemed, to me, the absolute peak of this concept. A major, extremely well-known actor with a literally cult devotion to making his name hit the headlines on a yearly basis, while convincing everyone and their dog that he's actually such a sweet and nice guy and a perfect person and boy oh boy wouldn't YOU like to meet him and be in the same organization as this totally-not-a-psychopath? Now, I'm not saying this is definitively what's going on, but through that lens, it makes every single insane thing he's ever done make perfect sense while still meshing 1:1 with the fact he's a fucking scientologist.
You're almost certainly right. Personally, I don't believe half of the stories about Tom Cruise. We know about the fake ass and the personal screen writers, so it's not unreasonable to suspect that he's also dishonest in order to maintain his image in other ways. I don't doubt that he's insane or that he does some of his own stunts, but other, better trained, actors who do their own stunts accumulate injuries over time, while Tom Cruise...hurt his ankle once. I know I may sound like a conspiracy theorist, but there IS a concerted effort in Hollywood to keep stunt performers from getting their own Oscar category, and then here's Tom Cruise joining a 'religious' group dedicated to exploiting people, controlling public opinions, and is intentionally embedded in the entertainment industry. It's likely that Tom Cruise and Scientology are just each others' means to an end.
Yeah, it's pretty funny because for a while during the early 2000's Tom Cruise wasn't known as international nice guy and stunt doer. He was waning movie star guy who everyone knew was in a weird cult and was doing insane interview after insane interview culminating with him jumping up and down on Opera's couch like a lunatic. Then he kind of laid low publicly for a while and came back as stunt boy wonder mr. mc nice guy. We all just kind of blanked that period of time where Cruise was more known for being an eccentric weirdo in a cult from are memories.
I was so scared of Jackass as a kid, because my friend had told me. If you say you want to be in jackass, some guys will come and shoot a dart at you and if you don’t flinch you’re in. I was terrified that at any point someone could come and throw darts at me. I also didn’t know which channel it was on and I didn’t want to know if that was the kind of stuff that was on there. It was only later that I found out what it actually is and that there was no chance of some American show coming to Denmark to throwing darts at me
I would love to do the stunts in a movie as a movie star! I feel like just being the stunt person isn't the same - no one has the same incentive to keep you safe, and you'll only get to do things you already know how to do :(
The stunt i would love to do that looks life fun comes from Yes Man. The scene where Jim Carrey goes Roller/Ludging down the hill at high speeds on a road way
My favorite jackass moment will forever be the jet engine sequence, where the dude gets to hold on to the chair while the jet engine throttles up.
Rip Ryan Dunn, that’s an amazing scene, especially when Johnny throws his shoe it to the air steam and the fucker just GOES

such a wholesome channel, just friends talking about funny shit with loose scripts and incredibly long tangents. love fact fiend
I heard several times that Tom cruise stares with intense interest at everyone he meets yet his eyes seem very empty at the same time.

Cult empowerment.

Look up Leah remini she has some crazy stories about Scientology

My favourite Cruise story is that for the film Legend he learnt to speak unicorn.
See what happens when you drink something other than alcohol.
The episode of Karl vs Coffee! That mug was going for you.
I thought Karl was going to mention something like "dropkick through a table" and then show a few seconds from the fighting game he's in.
Knight and Day is a beloved film in my household. It's a very quotable, silly action film that weirdly has paul dano in it!
Love this guy. he knows everything about everything except how to drink a coffee :)
Great anecdotes, great video

Btw the jumping a car onto a boat is 2 fast 2 furios the blue camaro

Karl said "cry for help twice" but because it's Karly I don't know if that was comment bait or not. Either way Karl wins.

Way late but I think it’s Starsky and Hutch where they drive a car into a boat
*Avatar Way of Water was a spectacle in 3D*
Bruh...here us 100k guard some fish 😅
Back in the day John Wayne use his own stunt horses 🐎 and had to kill them
The only thing I will never get along with these guys are their taste in movies...
Why are the views down so much these days, I don't understand why, and I can't find any info either
WOOO!
:)
I'm convinced Tom Cruise is trying to off himself
