Melbourne
(ANI):
Hollywood
actor
Tom
Cruise
has
opened
up
about
his
bizarre
couch-jumping
incident
during
an
interview
with
Oprah
Winfrey.
The
47-year-old
actor
was
reportedly
jumping
up
and
down
on
the
couch
chair
expressing
his
love
for
Katie
Holmes
at
the
Oprah
Winfrey
Show.
Cruise
said
he
was
confused
by
the
repercussion
over
his
erratic
behaviour
on
the
Oprah
Winfrey
Show
in
2006,
when
he
jumped
onto
Oprah"s
on
set
couch
to
express
his
love
for
Katie.
This
incident
led
to
the
cancellation
of
Cruise"s
contract
with
Studio
Paramount
Pictures
after
14
years,
reports
The
Daily
Telegraph.
“There
was
a
confluence
of
events," Cruise
told
Esquire
magazine.
“My
deal
with
Paramount
was
up
and
it
wasn't
extended.
At
first
it
was,
Huh?
I
don't
get
it,
but
people
have
misconceptions
about
that
whole
thing,
too,"
he
said.
Cruise
said
that
he
was
just
trying
to
please
the
show"s
audience.
“What
happened
happened.
I
wanted
the
audience
to
be
happy
just
like
I
wanted
to
make
my
sisters
and
my
mother
happy
when
I
did
those
skits
as
a
kid,
but
I'll
take
responsibility
for
my
actions,"
Cruise
said.
“It
felt
like
being
the
new
kid
in
the
schoolyard
again
and
the
other
kids
are
whispering
and
whispering
about
you
and
suddenly
you
hear
what
they're
saying,
and
you
think,
what?
That
didn't
happen.
Look
at
the
reality
of
the
situation,"
he
added.
