Tom Cruise has some of the fortune-cookie knowledge he shared with the world during a promotion for his upcoming sci-fi movie, Oblivion.

The 50 year old star strongly opines that life can be a tradegy and the only way it should be dealth with was with a hint of comedy.

Scientologist of the highest order after the founder of the religion himself, Cruise says he has been facing challenges even after he turned 50, an age where he expected him to have settled down completely. 

"Life is a challenge. You are 50 and you think you have everything in order and suddenly it hits you - that's what life is all about," thesun.co.uk quoted Cruise as saying. He said that life is a tragic comedy and one needed to have the sense of humor to deal with it. 

The sci-fi movie is all ready for a release in a week on April 2013. The movie features star artists like Morgan Freeman and Olga Kurylenko.
