Tom Cruise is one of Hollywood's biggest stars and a designation like that doesn't come without its fair share of notable moments.
The star's decades-long career has brought him immeasurable fame, three Oscar nominations, three Golden Globes and an estimated net worth of $600 million, with a $50 million-per-year income, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
For all the glory, there have also been a handful of cringe-worthy moments in the public eye as well.

In audio obtained by The Sun, the star can be heard threatening the jobs of employees should they break safety guidelines again in a profanity-laden and high-volume rant on set.
"We are creating thousands of jobs you motherf---ers," he yelled on set. "I don't ever want to see it again. Ever. And if you don't do it, you're fired, and I see you do it again, you're f---ing gone."

2) Jumping on Oprah's couch
In May 2005, Cruise paid a visit to "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to promote a film, but the discussion quickly turned to the star's girlfriend, actress Katie Holmes.
Winfrey made note of Cruise's infatuation and, in a moment of elation regarding his relationship, Cruise jumped up from his seat and onto Winfrey's couch. Winfrey and Cruise both laughed as the audience went wild.
The actor recreated the moment during an interview with Jay Leno not long after.

In one iconic scene, he's chatting with an NFL player played by Cuba Gooding Jr. over the phone, trying to convince the athlete not to drop him as his agent.
Gooding's character, Rod Tidwell, forces Jerry to start shouting "Show me the money!" at the top of his lungs, which irritates his co-workers. He repeats the now-famous lines several times -- loudly.
