Tom Cruise attended the premiere of his new movie Valkyrie at Rose Hall on Monday night in New York City. Earlier that day, Tom also apologized to Matt Lauer on the Today show after his rude out burst just 3 years ago.

“I thought about it a lot,” and chalked up his passion at the time to the fact that the discussion concerned “a subject matter that’s important. It’s something that’s been debated in the public, and that’s what it should be…[I came across] not as I had intended. In looking at myself, I came across as arrogant… I didn’t communicate it in the way I wanted to communicate it. Also, that’s not the way I am. That’s not the person I am.” People

I am happy to hear that, because Tom seemed to have been sipping on a little to much of that shut yo mouth potion during the earlier interview. Thoughts? View more pictures after the jump –
