Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. At any rate, New York Times had done a thing on the cover of the magazine. And CAA said, well, Com Cruise would love to meet with you. I was out in L.A. And I said, yeah, it'd be great. And they said, just stay in your room and stay by your phone. And OK, fine.

So eventually a call came in and they said, OK, now the driver's downstairs, but don't tell him where you're going. I said, OK, fine. So we go down to the car and we drive not far from the hotel. And they pull up to the gate. The driver goes, oh, this is Tom Cruise's house. I go, yes, it is. And he was great. In those days, he was still with, I forget her name, the wife and a little girl.

She was on his lap for 10, 15 minutes the first time we got together. And she was delightful, very sweet, nice, behaved, da-da-da. You could tell that they were very close at that point. And he was terrific. He's not that short. Had a big basketball court in the front of his house. And it was a really nice experience. Tom Cruise, not that short.

People love to focus on that, like he's only 5'6", or whatever. I don't know how tall he was, but it didn't occur to me when I was meeting with him. He was engaging. You listen.

She has trouble showing the real person. But it was really interesting.
