In the past, things got messy after their second movie together, War of the Worlds. Reports at the time said Spielberg was frustrated by some strange behavior from Cruise during promotions. The most famous moment involved a bizarre appearance on Oprah’s couch!These disagreements weren't just about press tours. There were also serious reported tensions around 2005. Some sources say that during promotional events, Cruise made controversial comments about topics like Scientology and the risks of certain medicines. These public remarks reportedly caused personal distress to people close to Spielberg at the time. It’s a reminder that even massive success doesn't erase human conflict. However, it seems they have moved past those old fights. They collaborated on two huge hits—Minority Report and War of the Worlds—which together made almost a billion dollars globally.
