WAAAAH WAAAAH WAAAAH! Tom Cruise had a tough childhood! Tom's dad was a meanie! Tom has dyslexia! Boo hoo hoo!
"I had no really close friend," he reveals in the April 9th edition of Parade magazine. "I was always the new kid with the wrong shoes, the wrong accent. I didn't have the friend to share things with and confide in."
Tom reveals that his father was also someone he was unable to turn to. "He was a bully and a coward," he says frankly. "He was the person where, if something goes wrong, they kick you."
The A-lister also opens up about his battle with dyslexia and recalls how perplexing it was for him to receive the diagnosis.
"The school took me to a psychiatrist to get tested," he says. "They said, 'Oh, he's dyslexic.' I'm labeled. It instantly put me into confusion. It was an absolute affront to my dignity."
Tom. Tom, Tom, Tom. You're glib, Tom. You don't know the history of dyslexia and I DO. There are things, Tom. Things you can do to overcome this. Things like vitamins and exercise.
Ass.
