And by crazy, I mean he's a Scientologist and apparently proud of it. Cruise was recently awarded the 'Freedom Medal of Valor' at an International Association of Scientologists event. You have to watch the video ... it's gives me chills, with Tom's creepy intense eyes and his "passion" for the subject. This clip comes shortly after shocking allegations were made by author Andrew Morton concerning Tom Cruise in his new book.

Some of what Tommy boy said:
“I think it’s a privilege to call yourself a Scientologist, and it’s something that you have to earn because a Scientologist does... has the ability to create new and better realities and improve conditions. Being a Scientologist, you look at someone and know absolutely that you can help them,” Us magazine quoted him, as saying.
"Being a Scientologist, when you drive past an accident... you know you have to do something about it because you know you’re the only one that can really help.
"But that’s what drives me... I know that we have an opportunity to really help... effectively change people’s lives and I am dedicated to that. I am absolutely, uncompromisingly dedicated to that.
"We have a responsibility. We are the authorities on getting people off drugs, we are the authorities on the mind, we are the authorities on improving conditions... we can rehabilitate criminals.... We can bring peace and unite cultures..
"Traveling the world and meeting the people that I’ve met, talking with these leaders in various fields, they want help and they are depending on people who know and who can be effective and do it and that’s us. That is our responsibility to do that.
"It is the time now. Now is the time... Being a Scientologist, people are turning to you, so you better know it, you better know it and if you don’t, go and learn it, but don’t pretend you know it. It’s like we’re here to help.
"If you’re a Scientologist, you see life, you see things the way they are, in all its glory, all of its complexity and the more you know as a Scientologist, you don’t become overwhelmed by it."
All the "we are the authorities" babble, is, well, FREAKY.
Enjoy the video HERE, it's enough to give anyone nightmares. Hold me.
