    Nobody here has mentioned that “no eye contact” is really common in Hollywood. To the point that various celebrities including Conan O’Brien had that rule for their staff but was totally unaware and as soon as they found out, they put a stop to it immediately.

    I’m not saying Tom Cruise didn’t know but it’s definitely a possibility.

      @CaptnNMorgan that’s an interesting point.

      As far as I can tell she never worked in Hollywood - she lives in the UK and the films mentioned in the article include a lot of British movies.

      That might be why the Tom Cruise eye contact thing stood out to her as an example of ridiculous heirarchy.

      I wonder if it was a Hollywood studio shooting on location, or some sort of co-pro.

        It still could be someone on his team telling people that and he is totally unaware. Idk why I’m trying to defend Tom Cruise I’m just not convinced this is what makes him a bad person
