Tom Cruise: old, old, OLD!

Because he’s old.

Because he's angry and crazy. All those expressions manifest in his sleep.

Harsh lighting.

He can't stave off father time indefinitely OP! As of late, he hasn't had any recent surgeries. He was using quite a lot of fillers, and after so many negative comments, think he's been laying off them; he looks less puffy and freakshow IMHO. He's recently lost the weight he had gained while convalescing too. That always makes people his age look tired and haggard.

He's 55 and the lighting is unusually harsh in that photo.

Here is he is within the past year.

Harsh lighting and oily skin.

That's just a bad photo. My friend met him not long ago and was ready to join scientology for him he was so hot.

As if any of you OLD HAGS look any better......

He still looks good IMO. "Distinguished"

He always had a freaky looking chest.

Frankly, given his age, he actually looks much better than I expected in OP's link.

Sure, he doesn't look young, but he looks almost distinguished. Not freaky and nip/tucked to death, like he's sometimes seemed on the verge of becoming.

You can't even see the crazy in that pic.

he looks fine to me.

He might’ve looked distinguished if he’d left his face alone. If he and Kathy Griffith did a horror show together, they wouldn’t need special effects to scare me.

Tom Cruise: Elder gay alert.

He looks like Michael Flynn. There's your next pic Tommy Boy. May have to be on Lifetime though.

He looks like he should run for congress.

He’d be gorgeous in the OP pic with natural gray hair.

It looks like he's broken his nose recently.

Tom didn't show up at the Academy Awards. Everyone was looking for him.

That picture is frightening.

I agree with others, the lighting is harsh in OPs picture. He doesn't look bad for 55.

Has he seen Suri?

Do we have an infestation of clams on this thread defending him?

I love how photoshopped his movie posters are. You know he thinks he really looks like them.

He doesn't look himself without that shit-eating grin.

Wasn't he on Andrew Cunanan next hit list after Versace? I would love to know the real back story to that. So far, it looks like Andrew knew or hand some kind of relationship with most of his victims before he killed them.

The harsh lighting shows how he actually looks.

Fucking terrible.

OP never had grandparents.

The older he gets, the more human he looks. I find it more difficult to hate on him now that I see him falling down to earth.

When you repress your true feelings and deny your true self for so long, your soul begins to rot. The rotting eventually manifests itself outward. At this rate, Ms. Cruise will look like Kellyanne Conway within a year.

I started reading the title "Tom Cruise bricht sich Fuß..." as "Tom Cruise bright sick fuck..". Tough monday.

OP-bitter much?

Physical appearance doesn't matter when you have Xenu.

Looks like he sat too close to the heat lamp and it melted his face.

Suri Cruise misses her father.

Sun damage and a lot of it.

In a few years his jowls will get more fleshy and he will look like the cartoon character Droopy.

[quote]Why do none of his plastic surgeries last?

Because they're both an analogy for, and karmic payback for, his bearding. Even TC's old faces get tired of his controlling unreasonable $cieno demands.

That pic is brutal!

Why do most of the Datalounge qweens think looking like a Hollywood size zero starlet is their goal in life?

Hmmmmm... someone is typing fat this morning . . .

A great example of how you don't notice a good hair color on a man when it's done right. You only notice the bad ones.

Google “Beauty Work.” Every shot of a star’s face / body in a major Hollywood film is digitally retouched now - in addition to flattering makeup & lighting - so the gulf between how they look onscreen vs in “real life” is greater than ever before.

Nobody's plastic surgeries last, that's why they keep getting more of them and end up looking like a mannequin at the end of House of Wax.

Actors do not want to end up doing a remake of Whales of August.

They still want to star in Top Gun at the age of 80.

I'd still blow him.

Face lifts never last. And they can't do anything about skin losing collagen and elastin as it ages, making it less resilient. Money can buy many things, but not youth.

He looked good in his last film. For 55 he looks good. If he lived in the real world and looked like that every frau in the neighborhood would be after him.

He's in amazing shape for 55.

He still looks better than 99% of men of his age.

he afraid to have major facelifts cause he paranoid someone will try cut him to pieces....

typical sci tolgist....

god imagine his kharma as a head of that church and its wickedness.

I'm 55 myself and I think he looks good - much better than he has in the past, when he was obviously getting fillers and the rest of it.

Of course he's mentally ill so it doesn't matter.

OP,

That is why I NEVER walk under fluorescent lights.

Really?

[quote]Tom didn't show up at the Academy Awards. Everyone was looking for him.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but except for certain years when he was nominated, I don't recall Tom Cruise ever really being a regular fixture at the Academy Awards. He's mostly tended to skip it.

I cannot imagine how he can let his freaky religion keep him from seeing his own kid. It makes me sad and sick.

A lot of clams in here tonight. They need to realize that Tommy isn't 25 anymore and should stop pretending he's some macho action hero. It's beyond embarrassing. Compare true stars like Paul Newman's later career to Cruise's public meltdown.

I love him and can't wait for Top Gun 2!!!! That movie was soooo hot!

R56, I'm not embarrassed . Why do you reach for such hyperbole? Don't you see how stupid it makes you sound?

plus his weenie is dark and wrinkly....

Still incredibly handsome with a hard body. Would take him gladly. Never minded his crazy much. He came from an abusive household and acts like a child more than anything else. Not that unusual. Shame Scientology got to him. Based on her personality, he would likely have become very involved in whatever org reached out to him first.

He's better looking than most other 55 year olds. He's better looking than most 45 year olds!

His "plastic surgery" hasn't held up because he's only done lighter treatments like botox and fillers... maybe some of the more modern devices like ulthera or peels... no evidence of a facelift unlike the pic below, which is also a cautionary tale for most male celebrities, I would think. If you want to spot a facelift, look at the side burns and ears. The side burns are usually gone, and the little inner part of the ear (the tragus - you can google it) will have an odd appearance. Most women will wear their hair forward over their ears after a facelift & are very self conscious about it. Most men don't have a choice. Some men get plugs put in there. Wayne Netwton's side burns are probably pieces of the overall wig.

tom blew wayne?

He’s a Scientologist. They’re worse than Mormons.

This whole thread is filled with insane posters from the "Church" of scientology defending the batshit crazy, worldwide ridiculed and thoroughly disliked Cruise.

Face it clams - Cruise is over and that's exactly what he looks like. Nasty, crazy and [bold]old[/bold]...

You can have him.

r64 can you post your pic?

[quote]Based on her personality, he would likely have become very involved in whatever org reached out to him first.

He was super-Catholic before Scifitology got their claws into him.

There's only one thing more pathetic than an older man desperately trying to hold onto his youth, and that would be an older actor trying to pretend he is still in his prime. Go away, crazy old white boy and make room for the youngsters. We may be getting older, but we can still see and if we're paying primo bucks for movie tickets I don't want to see your tired old wrinkly ass.

He's fine in the Mission Impossible movies- and I don't remember any ass scenes.

He looks very good. He's in great shape. He just needs to lay off the botox and fillers.

Is he still a thing anymore? Been almost 20 years since I had any interest in a Tom Cruise movie.

All he needs to do is bathe yet again in the blood of young clam$, and lost youth will return!

After seeing so many grotesque female faces at the Oscars, it's almost refreshing to see a handsome guy looking his age. Now that's empowerment.

He’s looking like Tom Hayden.

[quote]e's fine in the Mission Impossible movies- and I don't remember any ass scenes.

He offered some brief ass glimpses in American Made - and it looked pretty good, actually.

[quote]Tom didn't show up at the Academy Awards. Everyone was looking for him.

I don't believe he's attended the Oscars or any of the Oscar parties in many years.

Its interesting that they stopped auditioning girls to date him after Katie Holmes. I was always on the fence about whether or not Suri was his kid, but the fact that he hasn't seen her much and isn't involved in the life of his ONLY supposedly biological kid makes me think he's not really the dad.

He and Katie divorced 6 years ago and he hasn't publicly dated anyone since.

Girl needs to lose 20lbs. first, but Tammy's in talks to play Green Lantern.

R78, that CANNOT be true!

R76, or Katie had so much dirt on him and/or Scientology that she was able to leverage an agreement that he and his thetons stay the fuck away from Suri.

Tammy in talks to play Green Lantern.

R80, that link makes clear it's total speculation.

R80,

Is that a new musical instrument?

Tom as Hal Jordan would be awful. They should go with Bradley Cooper.

I say go younger than Cooper. You don't need a big name

Geez compared to Madonnas work he looks A M A Z I N G

I've never been a fan of Tom Cruise, but I think he looks perfectly ok, great, even. When will some of you ever realize you are lucky IF you survive to a more mature age...It always baffles me why so many on this site worship youth and deplore aging. Would any of you really prefer a short life as long as you died young...with people looking down at you in your casket and saying ..'he or she really looks great AND SO YOUNG!" Amazing.

Cruise doesn't look all that, r86. He's gone overboard on the fillers.

[QUOTE]Geez compared to Madonnas work he looks A M A Z I N G

😂

Tom Cruise and Madonna are living proof that after 50 it's just fucking O-V-E-R. Nothing can be done anymore, you should just accept the fact that you're getting old and stop trying to cling to youth, because it just doesn't work anymore and you'll just look bizarre.

Bizarre is better than old. Joan Rivers and Jane Fonda would not have gone on to have the careers they've had without it.

Joan actually looked better with all the surgery. She was truly homely when she started out.

Somehow, Joan managed to change her face from long and narrow to wider and full. I always wondered how she did that.

Cher's as well has lengthened her career. You don't want to see somebody who looks like Lillian Gish doing rock concerts and wearing those outfits.

Joan was a stand up comic, not a movie star. Cher's procedures have been ridiculed for decades. She should've just had a few subtle things done, as she was truly gorgeous before she turned herself into a wax museum.

I think he looks fantastic

bein a clam bears on his soul

sad

DC/WB executives must be smoking cheap crack to think that adding Tom's Buckets of Cray and inability to break eye contact to Affleck's weight and anger issues and what remains from ADHD Synder having shat all over the DCEU, is a viable option.

[quote]You don't want to see somebody who looks like Lillian Gish doing rock concerts and wearing those outfits.

In fact, no one wants to see Cher doing rock concerts and wearing those outfits - it's as ridiculous as the plastic surgery.

He looks ok

The photo at OP looks like one of those aging photos they create for missing people

wow, he getting the face he deserves.

SAD SAD SAD SAD

Well, they wanted to see Cher in Sydney at Mardi Gras- over 200,000.

Tom hasn't seen Suri in four years.

She wouldn’t even recognize him.

Yeah, I brought this up in the Nicole Kidman botox thread. Tom is weird and a cult member to be sure, but the guy does still look good. I don't think he looks worked on at all.

It's kind of weird that Katie thinks not mentioning him is going to keep Suri from remembering him - he's promoting a new movie every 6 months. Surely the child sees her father on buses and tv, etc.?

R105 That is really sad. So, we know Tom is her biological father, no denying that. Do we think that happened the old fashioned way? And if Nicole was able to give birth (she did give birth to at least one of the new batch, right?) I wonder why she and Tom adopted the two when they were married.

How do we know Tom is the bio father? I think Suri looks like Katie.

R107 I think she's a ringer for Tom. Maybe a tiny bit of Katie.

Christie Brinkley thinks you're full of shit, R89.

Caption this photo.

Why do you think?

Isn't there something called a turkey baster?

The paternity of Suri has been discussed here, many times; but for the DL Newbies, we shall revisit it:

Tammy had childhood mumps. Because of it, he cannot father children. Tammy's first cousin is said to be Suri's bio father; hence Tammy's surrendering / not pursing custody, to any degree, per divorce, even with his multi-millions of dollars and the COS backing. Not only would he lose a custody battle, he and the matter at hand would be exposed.

Would you still hit it?

No, I wanted him back when Cher did.

Yes.

I would 69 with Cruise. And we both would swallow.

R114, I wouldn't have hit it 30 years ago; I'm certainly not going to hit it today.

"Suri Cruise misses her father."

Father? What does "father" mean, Mommy? Is it like that evil little gnome who held us hostage?

OP’s photo is Photoshopped from a satire web site. Y’all are dumbasses.

He’s 62, OP. Hello?

DAVID! Slaughter more virgin clams so I may again bathe in their blood and refreshen my youth!
