ACTOR Tom Cruise has told how he was bullied and beaten by his father as a child.
The Hollywood star, whose baby with Katie Holmes is due any day, said his father was a "bully and a coward" and "a merchant of chaos".
He reveals: “(My dad was) the kind of person where, if something goes wrong, they kick you. It was a great lesson in my life – how he'd lull you in, make you feel safe and then, bang!
“For me, it was like, ‘There's something wrong with this guy. Don't trust him. Be careful around him.’ There's that anxiety."
Cruise also said that he visited his father in hospital before he died, after ten years of estrangement.
He explained that his father "was in the hospital dying of cancer, and he would only meet me on the basis that I didn't ask him anything about the past."
The actor also spoke about how he was bullied at school and revealed that he battled with dyslexia as a child.
Well, it's true who is to say who is normal. Tom Criuse is among the highest paid actors in the world. That is a measure of his success in adult life, when as a child he was abused by his dad, was diagnosed with dyslaxia and bullied by students. It is a tremendous achievement to rise above all that and become successful to the person he is today.
