It looks like Tom Cruise is ready to calm down his image of the wild man on television who speaks a little too passionately about his religion and jumps on couches.

Interviewed on Oprah for a Friday broadcast, Cruise was serious and thoughtful, defending himself, but not in an overbearing way.

PR experts are touting it a success for Cruise, who hasn’t gotten good press coverage due to his antics. The theory goes like this: talk movies, good. Talk religion, bad.

Cruise said in the future that if he is promoting a humanitarian cause, he will talk about humanitarian causes, but if he is promoting a movie, that is all he will do.

So hears to hoping that Cruise can continue to do that. His career, which has slowed down some because of the negativity, will see the benefits.

Cruise is currently in talks to star in the fourth Mission Impossible film.
