It's nice to see ex-partners speaking respectfully about each other after so many years. In Bollywood, we rarely see such mature behavior after breakups. Maybe our stars can learn something from this 🤔

Eyes Wide Shut is a masterpiece! Both acted brilliantly. But honestly, I'm more interested in why it took 20+ years for Cruise to say something nice. That's too much time yaar.

As someone who grew up watching their movies together, this makes me nostalgic! They were the ultimate Hollywood power couple of the 90s. Hope they've both found happiness now ❤️

I respect Cruise for this comment, but let's not forget the Scientology angle. Indian media should focus more on our own stars' relationships instead of Hollywood gossip.

Both are amazing actors, but I wish they'd talk more about their adopted children. In India, we value family bonds so much - hope those kids got equal love from both parents.

The real story here is Kubrick asking about their relationship during filming! That man was a genius director. The movie's tension probably came from real emotions. Brilliant cinema!
