“He is the only person who never misses my birthday. In knowing him for 25 years now, he has never missed my birthday or an event in my life, or now I don’t know him enough to go, ‘Hey, Tommy, it’s Ro, the Scientology thing can we chat?’ Like, that’s not my relationship with Tom Cruise. I don’t have his home phone number,” she said.

Rosie continued, “Like I know people think in Hollywood and celebrity, everybody knows each other, but I know him in the way that I did in that time 25 years ago. But every year, I think what a classy guy he is that he never has forgotten my birthday. A lot of people say to me, it’s just his secretary, but I don’t believe that. I think he knows in early March, ‘Oh, it’s Rosie‘s birthday coming up.’ And he sends me something every single year for 25 years. I love Tom Cruise and I will always love Tom Cruise.”

She concluded, “I do not understand, uh, you know, the Scientology religion. I think it’s a, a cult and it’s scary. And I think Leah Remini is a hero for doing what she’s done.”
