“He harbored a lot of anger at his natural father. He was moody and would get angry in a snap of your fingers. It was like something was smouldering, and it would boil up and explode.”

Tom Cruise shared in an interview that he had a severe case of “daddy issues” and frequently called his father a “bully and a coward”. Cruise went on to explain that his father was the type of person who discarded anyone who didn’t help him or was of no use to him. Tom Cruise explained his father was,

“The kind of person where, if something goes wrong, they kick you”.
