Cruise Somehow Gets Loonier
If you already thought Tom Cruise was nutty, what with his fist pumping, couch dancing, psychology-dissing, drug claims, and Scientology espousing, you ain't seen nothin' yet. He also believes in past lives and that he was once Shakespeare:
"I was much happier in previous existences when I wrote plays, composed music, conquered nations, discovered continents, and developed cures for diseases," said Tom Cruise.
Cruise said he became aware that he "had been here before," when he read the complete works of Shakespeare in a month, despite being dyslexic, not long after dropping out of high school.
"Shakespeare was deja vu for me," said Tom Cruise. "It was so cool. I felt as if I had seen his words already, knew them all by heart. Then, after I began studying scientology, I realized the words had come from my heart in a previous life. That's why I say that as glorious and enviable as my present life is, making "War of the Worlds" and all those other great movies can't compare to writing "Romeo and Juliet" or the sonnets.
Have you ever noticed that people who think they've lived in the past almost always also think they were very important people? They're always authors, artists, leaders, politicians, etc. They're rarely chamber maids, slaves, peasants, used care salesmen, accountants, or some other average joe. No, Cruise wasn't any of those. He was Shakespeare and some other important folks who conquered and cured diseases. As if this wasn't pushing the bounds of sheer nuttiness, it gets even worse. His enemies have been following him through time as well:
In addition to recognizing his days of future passed in the works of Shakespeare and Bach—and in the achievements of Columbus and Napoleon—Cruise recognizes the continuing reappearance of "Anti-Thetanic forces," such as Matt Lauer and Brooke Shields, with whom he has clashed in former lives.
Oh my. Next thing you know, he's going to be saying that millions of years ago some galactic warlord named Xenu dumped a bunch of dudes in a volcano and nuked them which fused them together and this resulted in the unfortunate human condition. Oh, wait…

I believe it was Richard Belzer who said “Why is it that people
are always royalty in their past lives? How come no one was
Momar the Peasant Boy, killed at age 12 by a runaway manure
wagon?”
