What people are saying about the Tom Cruise Deathgrip

 
“ 		 
While holding Katie's hand is chivalrous and gentlemanly, grabbing her forearm has a new meaning and shows command and control. Tom looks more like Katie's bodyguard. She looks like the star and it's as if he's doing the thinking for her. It's a very controlling hold, almost a form of parental affection. There's no sign of sexual affection here.

“ 		 
Although his thumb protrudes from his pocket in a confident, dominant gesture, his hand thrust deep into his pocket tells another story, revealing his frustration – an attempt to hide his true feelings and hold himself back.
