Tom Cruise and Matt Lauer sat down, once again, for an interview on The Today Show, and unlike their previous meeting in 2005, there were no uncomfortable confrontations, or any sort of "glib" comments.
"Let's set the record straight," Matt said while introducing Tom. "This is not Rocky II. There is no rematch about to happen."
In fact, it was pretty obvious that Tom and Matt had cleared the air a while back, settling in to an easy interview between the two. Tom actually said that he felt the way he handled their previous chat was a mistake and expressed that "that's not the way I am. That's not the person I am."
"I learned a lesson," the Valkyrie star said. "I think I learned a really good lesson."
On the topic of lessons learned, Matt pointed out that Tom is no longer jumping on couches over wife Katie Holmes (at least not on national television), but is he still over the moon about her?
"She's an amazing woman," he smiled.
And will they be giving Suri a playmate anytime soon?
"I think that's a question for the women," Tom said.
Hmmm. A question only for Katie? Interesting...
That's totally Tom's way of making it look like he's not pulling Katie's strings. Or is Tom hinting that he's really not Suri's father and has no part in the baby making process? (Let's not get started on that again!)
So, granted, it was a much lighter interview this time around, but, honestly, still a tad bit creepy.
