NEW YORK -- Tom Cruise will sit down with Matt Lauer for a live interview, airing Monday on NBC's Today show.
Cruise is expected to chat about his latest historical thriller, Valkyrie, wife, Katie Holmes, and their children, Connor, Isabella and Suri, a Today show rep announced Wednesday.
In October, Cruise made light of his infamous 2005 spat (about psychiatry and the use of anti-depressant drugs) at a roast for Lauer. "Matt and I talk two, three, four times a day," Cruise joked. The actor then started with the zingers.
"You're the one who told me to talk about Katie Holmes on Oprah!" he said.
In May, Cruise told Winfrey, "During the interview more than years ago with Lauer, I was feeling pressed."
"For me, my issue was really about child drugging," he said. "It's not like it is today, like people are really kind of openly talking about this."
