On the professional front, the free-spirited actor has also enjoyed the company of sharing screen space with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. Yet, when it comes to his personal life, he has stayed mostly private.Sharing three kids, he has married and separated thrice, with Katie Holmes being the last of them. Moreover, it was this period of matrimony that saw him go overboard with joy and, in turn, direct intense scrutiny of the medical community over his family.

A BBC report from 2005detailed the transaction and listed it to be worth a whopping $200,000 back then. Unfortunately, the purchase not only came across as outlandish but also as a probable violation of the FDA’s regulations that monitor and prohibit such sales, despite not facing any charges.

In talks with the news outlet, the actor ensured that he would donate the machine to a hospital when he had done away with it, revealing that the couple then planned to take sonograms all by themselves. Moreover, he also highlighted that he would not disclose the gender of the baby and would simply use the machine for personal physical scans.

Fascinatingly, in response to the BBC reporter’s query on what exactly did he see when using the machine, Cruise replied with,“A little baby”.Yet that did not sit well with the medical community, who voiced their concerns over the risks associated with the unprofessional use of such equipment.
