Actor Tom Cruise has said he plans to eat the placenta of his new baby.
"I thought that would be good," he told GQ magazine. "Very nutritious. I'm gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there."
It is the latest in a series of unusual revelations by the 43-year-old about the child he is expecting with his fiancee, actress Katie Holmes.
The couple, who have been engaged since June 2005, plan to marry in late summer or early autumn, according to Cruise.
The Mission Impossible star has also claimed he knew Holmes, 27, was pregnant even before she told him.
Last week Cruise said on US television that Catholic-born Holmes has already joined him as a follower of the Church of Scientology.
'Silent birth'
In the GQ interview, Cruise defended the religion's doctrine that childbirth should be completed in silence.
"It's really about respecting the woman," he said. "It's not about her not screaming."
Cruise said earlier this month that their baby was due "any day now".
The baby will be the first for Holmes, while Cruise has two adopted children from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.

The Amazing Placenta
From Robin Elise Weiss, LCCE,
Your Guide to Pregnancy / Birth.
While we all marvel at the miracle of fetal development and the wonders of birth, we very often fail to look at the miraculous organ the placenta.
This organ grows from the time of conception to eventually take over the production of hormones needed to sustain the pregnancy at around 12 weeks gestation (from your last menstrual period). It supplies your growing baby with a means of obtaining nutrients for development as well as a method of waste disposal. This is the only disposable organ ever made.
Other cultures have come to see the placenta in a completely different light. There are even ceremonies and beliefs held about the placenta that are completely foreign to us.
For example, in some cultures it is commonplace to leave the baby attached to the placenta, rather than clamp the cord, until the cord dries up and falls off. This is called a Lotus birth and is not practiced often in the United States. The theories behind this are that it helps slow the new family down and offers them more seclusion in the first few days when a getting to know you period is in order.
One thing you see here is that there are many families who will hold ceremonies with the placenta after birth. Some families will take the placentas and bury them in the ground to celebrate the new life given to them. This dedication of the placenta back to the earth or in honor of the child is becoming more frequent. A year later a tree or flower is then planted in the same spot to allow the placenta to nourish its growth. The reason that you would wait this year is that a placenta is so nutrient rich that it would kill anything planted before that period.
What about placenta art? Yes, you can make art out of it. Generally mothers talk about placenta prints. After the birth you take a piece of paper and lay the placenta on it. If it is fresh you can let the blood and amniotic fluid leave the print or others choose to use paints to add color. Now what? Well, hang your framed art or store it for safekeeping.
Then comes the practice of placentophagia, eating the placenta, is also practiced in some parts of the world. There are even meal like recipes for cooking placentas, including placenta stew, placenta lasagna, power drinks with blended placenta and others. Though some mothers have been reported to eat placenta raw.
There are many reasons listed for eating the placenta, including it helping stem postpartum depression and it supposedly helps to contract the uterus after the birth. We know that many animals eat their own placenta, including as a means to hide the scent from predators.
In our modern world this may seem barbaric and some have even said that this could spread HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis. While this is very true if people other than the mother consume the placenta, normally it is only the mother partaking of the placenta.
In Chinese Medicine, the placenta is known as a great life force and is highly respected in terms of its medicinal value. However, in this field it is not cook, but rather usually dried. To dry a placenta you would simply dehydrate it in the oven, then using a mortar and pestle grind it up. From there you can mix it with food or ingest it within capsules. I have actually known one mother who did this drying technique. It is my only personal experience with placentophagia.
No matter what you choose to do with your placenta, remember to value the life it has helped you nuture and bring forth. It is, after all, the Tree of Life.

it's pretty obvious he's joking and making light of the fact that he's kinda seen as a weirdo. i have seen on a documentary once tho a woman frying and preparing to eat the placenta. i think it's disgusting but it is common in other places in the world.
Don't look back ~ You're not going that way!
I eat Placenta on Tuesday nights, it tastes good with Bleu Cheese. The placenta of a mexican is the best, especially if you use the afterbirth as a dip, kinda like chips and salsa.
If sense were common, everyone would have it.
