For Katie Holmes, Marriage Became a 'Mission Impossible'

After filing for divorce from actor Tom Cruise last week, Katie Holmes has finally broken her silence on her reasons for ending her five year marriage.

“He wanted me to be something I’m not,” said the former Dawson’s Creek actress, wiping a tear from her eye. “I tried so hard, but no matter what, it was never quite good enough.”

According to Holmes, 33, Cruise had a set of standards for what he believed his ideal partner should look like, and he constantly requested that she make changes to her physical appearance to better resemble his ideal. Athough Holmes insists that she tried very hard,  she said that their marriage failed in large part because she ultimately failed to meet these standards.

“You saw me in 2008. I chopped off all of my hair! I could have passed for the fifth fucking Beatle,” she added. “Or at the very least, Justin Bieber. But that still didn’t attract him.”

The actress also reportedly enlisted the help of fashion mogul and former pop-star Victoria Beckham for fitness tips.

“Victoria has a very athletic body, so she helped teach me how to tone the hell out of mine,” said Holmes. “We basically tried to eradicate as much of my curviness as possible, for a more, uh, masculine look.”

Unfortunately, says Holmes, this still wasn’t enough. She’d been trimming her eyelashes, growing out her leg hair, and reading Esquire long enough.

“At one point, I was walking around the house, practicing how to speak in a deeper voice,” said Holmes. “When Suri started asking for popsicles in a voice that sounded like Marvin Gaye, I knew I had to get out.”
