Tom Cruise on split from Katie Holmes: ‘I did not expect that’

The 50-year-old action star says he had an 'incredible amount of time to reflect' after Holmes walked away from their marriage.

Tom Cruise is finally speaking at length about getting over his failed marriage to actress Katie Holmes, nearly a year after their divorce.
According to E! News, in an interview with a German magazine amidst press rounds for his upcoming flick "Oblivion," Cruise, 50, describes being surprised as Holmes, 34, moved to dissolve their five-year marriage.

"I did not expect that," he said.
Just five days before his 50th birthday, on June 29 of last year the former "Dawson's Creek" actress announced she was separating from Cruise.


The split gave him an "incredible amount of time to reflect," ahead of the milestone birthday, he said.
Holmes has custody of the couple's now six-year-old daughter Suri, with Cruise gaining generous visitation rights.

"Life is a challenge," Cruise told the mag. "To be 50 and have experiences and think you have everything under control, and then it hits you-that's what life is…Life is tragicomic. You need a certain sense of humor."
The action star has since thrown himself into work. Cruise will follow "Oblivion" with another action flick, "All You Need is Kill," next year. He's also revealed another "Mission Impossible" film may be in the works.
