LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Actor Tom Cruise will return to The Oprah Winfrey Show according to the Associated Press.

In May of 2005, Cruise became the butt of numerous jokes after he appeared on Oprah and he repeatedly jumped on the talk-show host’s couch, saying his love for then-new girlfriend Katie Holmes was “beyond cool.”

The two-part show will coincide with the 25th anniversary of Cruise’s breakout role in the film Risky Business. Friends and colleagues will surprise Cruise with taped messages honoring his work in movies, according to a statement Thursday from Harpo Productions.

For the first show on May 2, Winfrey will interview Cruise from his Telluride, Colorado home, and the interview will cover his “family, his life and the future,” Harpo stated. On May 5, Cruise will appear in Winfrey’s Chicago studio.

Cruise and Holmes became parents in April 2006 with the birth of their daughter, Suri, and married in Italy in November 2006.
