In his 2023 book Yearbook, Seth Rogen recalled a bizarre five-hour meeting he and Judd Apatow had with Tom Cruise in 2006, when Tom was exploring comedy. During the meeting, Tom brought up his infamous Oprah interview.
He allegedly told them, “Well, yeah, they’re making it seem like I’m losing my mind. There’s a coordinated effort to make it appear that way. [Seth asked, ‘Who would do that?’] The pharmaceutical industry. Because my exposure of their fraud has cost them SO much money that they’re desperate. They’re scrambling, and they’re doing everything they can to discredit me so I won’t hurt sales anymore. … They edited it to make it look so much worse than it was.”
