The recent Oscars lunch brought to light the end of a 20-year feud between Stephen Spielberg and Tom Cruise. The pair had a souring of their relationship following their work together on the films “War of the Worlds” and “Minority Report”.
Reportedly, Spielberg was unhappy with Cruise’s behavior during press tours for “War of the Worlds,” including the now-infamous couch-jumping incident on Oprah, in which Cruise gushed about his relationship with Katie Holmes.
Cruise’s criticism of Brooke Shields for using antidepressants also upset Spielberg, who knew children helped by the drug. The director believed Cruise’s behavior overshadowed the release of the movie and cost it $30 million at the box office.
However, at the Oscars lunch, Spielberg praised Cruise for his work on “Top Gun: Maverick” and for his support of theatrical distribution. The two men were seen embracing, indicating that they may have put their differences behind them.
