Matt Lauer brings up infamous Tom Cruise interview to Katie Holmes

Matt Lauer still isn’t over his on-air feud with Tom Cruise.

Following Cruise and Lauer’s heated debate over the use of antidepressants in 2005, Lauer mentioned the fiery interview to the actor’s ex-wife, Katie Holmes, on the “Today” show Tuesday, as she talked about her role as a bipolar poet in the new film “Touched With Fire.”

“[The movie] asks the question, is it beneficial to treat these people with drugs,” Lauer, 58, stated. “You and I both remember a heated discussion I got into on that subject here in this studio. How do you think the movie comes down on that? Where do you think it leads the viewer?”

Without hesitation, Holmes, 37, praised the film’s director, Paul Dalio, without a single mention of Cruise, 53.

“What I think our director did a wonderful job with is this movie just kind of shows, this is it,” she noted. “These are these two characters in a love story, which he’s saying is kind of its own mania, to fall in love. But he puts the question of there for the audience to make that decision.”

Holmes’ response vastly differed from what her former spouse told Lauer nearly 11 years ago. While speaking about Brooke Shields’ admission of using antidepressants during her battle with postpartum depression, Cruise called Lauer “glib,” which nearly sparked an in-studio wrestling match.

“I was thinking, ‘Can I take him in a wrestling match? Could I tackle him on the set,” Lauer revealed on “Watch What Happens Live” last month, also explaining that he considered the incident a learning experience.

“If you have a bad experience on air, you don’t think you’ve done your job or you have an embarrassing moment. I guarantee that you’ll work harder the next time not to let it happen again,” he said. “Even the bad interviews I think you learn from. They make you better.”
