Tom Cruise's placenta plans

Tuesday, 18th April 2006, 13:05
LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - Dad-to-be Tom Cruise has vowed to eat the placenta of his newborn baby and plans to dine on the umbilical cord too.

The actor's bizarre plans are sure to shock his legions of fans but the Hollywood heavyweight insists he plans to cook the unusual meal after fiancée Katie Holmes gives birth.

The 43 year-old star told America's GQ magazine: "I'm going to eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm going to eat the cord and the placenta right there."

Cruise, a devoted Scientologist, made the decision after reading the afterbirth contains important nutrients and vitamins.

The 'Mission Impossible 3' star - who has been carrying out medical scans on the foetus with his own ultra-sound machine - has also told Holmes she must give birth in silence, in accordance with Scientology teachings, so the baby isn't traumatised during the birth.

The couple have been holding family pregnancy classes in their Beverley Hills home.

Cruise revealed: "We've been studying what a woman goes through, what happens to a woman's body."

The actor is not the only star to indulge in strange behaviour with his baby's placenta practice.

Rod Stewart and fiancée Penny Lancaster celebrated the birth of their son Alastair () by covering his placenta in tea tree oil and burying it in their garden.

Is he going to cook it first?

I hope the Scientologists make this crazy fucker vomit in silence.

What a retard.

I heard it's best right after birth...slightly warm, but not too hot...

and at the placenta thing too

These kinds of quotes are often so misleading. He could have been laughing and saying it as a joke, but they don't mention that when they publish the quote.

I still think he's an idiot, however.

Tom Cruise is one sick prick.

well in the animal kingdom usually the mother eats it after all the hard work she did she needs it. Tom is a twit.

I think he did actually say later that he was just kidding, but that wouldn't have made for as good as a thread...

Now, everyone please just ignore this post and continue to think about Tom munching away on the placenta... thanks!

It's a amazing how Tom's reputation has taken a nosedive. A couple years ago he could do no wrong. Now he can do nothing right and he has become a joke. I saw The trailer for MI 3 at the movies the other night and most in the audience either booed or laughed.

I heard this, this morning on the radio... ...hes lol

Spats said:

overexposure and a couple of media blunders will do that to ya

ive seen this on hbo before on shockvideo ....this beeotch cooked it up and served it at a housewarming party.

Christopher said:

I hope she told her guests before hand. Did she serve breastmilk to go with it?

ha lol im trying to remember the segment...i think her friend was helping her cook it. i believe it was in the uk and everyone knew and seemed to enjoy it

I'm sure it'll be like eating blood sausages

Not very long ago, well probably 30 years ago or more, it was common practice for hospitals to freeze the placenta and then give it to the mother when leaving the hospital. Doctors used to (and probably still do) recommend that the mother cook and eat it when she gets home, in order to replace iron & vitamins lost through giving birth. Apparently it tastes not dissimilar to lightly sautéed lamb's liver.

It is supposed to be the mother that eats it though, so I think Mr. Cruise should reconsider and let Katie have it instead - it's her placenta after all.
