The Church of Scientology asserts that psychiatry is a pseudoscience and the prescription drugs that are used in treatment for mental illness are unnecessary. As a result, Cruise got into hot water in 2005 when he criticized actress Brooke Shields after she shared her experience of using anti-depressants to combat post-partum depression—but the story didn’t end there.

Subsequently, many were surprised to learn that Cruise actually approached Shields to personally apologize to her. In many ways, it went completely out of his character.
