Have John Travolta and Tom Cruise always been whack jobs or just in recent years?
I can’t see them in their cool Saturday Night Fever and Top Gun days believing in Scientology and all that shit

I Have enjoyed Tom Cruise films he is an entertainer and made some the best spy films of late i don't support his beliefs I support his acting
on the other hand whos acting and Beliefs, I do Support are John Boyega, Letitia Wright, Chris Pratt, Zachary Levi, Cat Taber, Mark Hamill, and James Arnold Taylor
Everything was fine with them until the 90s and early 2000s. Then they really went bonkers. I know Tom Cruise first was introduced to that cult by Mimi Rogers (who has since left the cult) back in the 90s, but he didn't really go crazy until things got tense with Nicole Kidman in the early 2000s. This madness of his didn't become obvious until he went after a woman young enough to be his little sister---I mean future wife, and announced it in a nutty way on Oprah.
I did read up on his role in the cult on Operation Clambake (a website I would recommend to anyone who wants to know the truth about Scientology, including the stuff they don't want you to know). It appears part of his current insanity can be blamed on being chosen to be [cult leader] David Miscavidge's favorite. (This is nothing new, by the way. The cult leader who came before Miscavidge made Errol Flynn his favorite). Cruise is basically this guy's pet, whether he knows it or not.
I haven't a clue what John Revolta's history with Scientology is, but I do know he hasn't been considered a heartthrob or a sensation since the 70s. He's mostly just a has-been that Generation X people go to see in theaters for the nostalgia and disappointment he brings. I didn't realize how insane Revolta was until he played the mom in drag on "Hairspray."
What was it about Hairspray that made you think he was insane?
shareHe played the girl's mother. It was disgusting to watch.
shareAh-ha, ok. That part was played by a man in the original movie so it was just a continuation of that joke. I wasn’t that impressed by the remake either, but insane and disgusting? I don’t know really, it’s just a movie.
shareI know it was tradition, but it creeped me out, what little I watched. Luckily, the girl starring in it kept everyone's attention away from that.
shareTravolta and Christopher Walken serenading each other while doing a soft shoe shuffle was borderline creepy, I’ll give you that!
shareThe "mother's" insecurities were also way out of whack! I mean, first off, she's terrified of leaving the house, she's obviously ashamed of her body (obesity was actually kind of rare in 1950s America), and she's terrified of losing the only man who showed any interest in her. It's only because her daughter is so assertive, and that the clueless dad finally opened up, that the mom calmed down and had her life situation improve.
