They are rarely out of the spotlight themselves,and they make their money from getting 1 to stare at the big screen.
But this hasn't stopped two of the biggest stars in Hollywood from 2 that they limit the amount of television that their children watch.
Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg share the same opinion that children shouldn't be brought up on TV and should be made to 3
"My kids,I really don't like them to watch 4 television , ” Cruise,40 ,said during a visit to Berlin to promote the film Minority(《少数派报告》) earlier this month. " We're focusing on reading."
Tom Cruise,who has major boxoffice appeal (票房号召力) ,has starred in many hit movies such as Rain Man(《雨人》) and Mission:Impossible(《谍中谍》) .
He has two adopted (收养的) children with 5 Australian exwife Nicole Kidman.
As a father,he allows them 6 about three and a half hours of television every week but only if his children 7 school.
"I can actually see the difference when they watch too much television. 8 affects their education and their reading as well as their behavior," he said.
Cruise and Kidman divorced last year 9 10 years of marriage. He and Kidman agreed to raise their children inAustralia. "Americawas in a position 10 people were so irresponsible that human life holds so little value to them," he said.
Hollywood Oscarwinning director Steven Spielberg agrees with Cruise's stand (立场) on 11 to educate children.

"My kids are allowed to watch TV for one hour a day―if their homework 13 ”, he said. "They can't come home from school and watch TV."
He insists that his fi ve children do their homework and their chores (杂务) first,and if they have time 14 over,watch TV for an hour.
Spielberg,whose films Saving Private Kycm (《拯救大兵瑞恩》) and Schindler,s 《辛德勒名单》) talk about the tragic events of World War H,said he also keeps his children away from the news on television.
He said the reason is that one could 15 tell what it was going to be about. And he never knew if it would be suitable for children to watch.
