Great Moments in Cougardom: Cher Takes Cruise

Before he went from teen idol to world’s brightest shining star. Before he went overboard with the aliens and embarrassed himself on Oprah’s couch, Tom Cruise fell prey to the cunning of the cougar – and not just in his star-making role opposite Rebecca De Mornay in Risky Business . No, on the same couch that may have cost Cruise his career, urbancougar Cher confessed to Oprah Winfrey in April of 2008 that she dated the emerging star in the mid-80’s.

Cher told Oprah, “He was so, like, different. He was a shy boy. He didn't have any money.” Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the decade-sprawling cultural icon placed the future movie-magnate under her expert paw, educated his naïve mind in the ways of the world and likely devoured him as if he were an abandoned deer carcass. It’s a heartwarming story of ageless love and another great moment in cougardom.
