 | | Tom Cruise to eat Katie's placenta? | | |  | Actor Tom Cruise yesterday revealed plans to eat his new baby's placenta.Cruise, 43, told GQ: "I'm gonna eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there." When it was pointed out that it would be a big meal, Cruise replied: "OK, maybe I won't." It is the latest in a series of increasingly strange outbursts from Cruise in the run-up to the birth.He has claimed the baby, due any day, will be delivered in total silence reports Mirror UK.
Canada.com is reporting that Cruise’s comment a joke he made during an interview with GQ is being taken out of context and reported as legitimate news.
The Top Gun star also insisted he "sensed" fiance Katie was pregnant before she told him.And he has blurted out details of the couple's sex life, saying: "It's spectacular."
Cruise, will not be the first star to make a meal out of his baby's placenta.Rod Stewart and girlfriend Penny Lancaster took home their baby's placenta, sprinkled it with tee tree oil and buried it in the garden.
In 1998, Channel 4 chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall fried a placenta with shallots and garlic and served it up to 20 guests, including the baby's mum and dad.TV watchdogs later criticised the show, branding it "disagreeable".
But placenta-eating is considered normal in some cultures. Various recipes include one for placenta lasagne. Some say eating it helps avoid post-natal depression.
Meanwhile, Tom Cruise is hoping his and Katie Holmes’s new baby will become friends with Brad and Angelina’s new addition to their family as soon as they are born. The babies are due just weeks apart, and Tom reportedly wants his child to have “playdates? with Brad and Ange’s new tot reports NW Magazine.
Brad and Tom have been friends since they worked together on Interview with the Vampire over 10 years ago.

That is false. He actually made a joke about that during his interview with Diane Sawyer and then said that people were probably going to take him seriously even though he pointed out that he was being sarcastic. He was making fun of people that make up things about him. He said he was NOT going to eat the placenta.

They should make him eat the placenta now and it should be televised, to make sure he eats it. It is not even his baby, he cant have any kids.
