When did Tom Cruise Get So........Old?!

He completed the 'turn into an old lesbian' stage.

Plastic surgery can only get you so far.

Sugar tits

He is shaped like a woman - tits, curves, hips...

Too much bread pudding.

He probably would have looked better if he'd allowed himself to age gracefully.

In OP's pictures - Yikes! He looks awful.

2002

2002 - Tom's hottest chemistry EVER with a co-star! Sizzling!

Not so hot without all this makeup.

Two Happy Meals short of looking like Jonah Hill.

Tom's hottest chemistry EVER with a co-star! Sizzling!

He's pear-shaped with moobs.

Talk about womanly hips.

How are his hips womanly? And what is his skin color?

Earth to Xenu.... Please help sort Tommy out!

He has moobs because of the propecia

[quote]How are his hips womanly?

Pear-shaped hips, among a great many other descriptors, are wide child-bearing hips.

[Quote] Pear-shaped hips, among a great many other descriptors, are wide child-bearing hips.

And his butt?

Dang-that's what happens when you're out and about without your make-up artists, stylists and lighting crew.

I thought David Thewlis/villain from Fargo was the spokesman in a commercial, but it was really an unrecognizable Clive Owen.

He is pretty damn old, 57 now. What do you expect him to look like without a professional team of people making him look camera ready?

R19, I actually thought Clive Owen looked pretty darn good in that commercial. He was looking flat busted on the final season of that Cinemax (or Showtime, maybe?) period series he did a few years back, and it was not 100% to do with his character being an opium addict.

[quote]What do you expect him to look like

Thinner.

Right, R22, with as dedicated to physical fitness as he's been, it's surprising. Kind of like Madonna getting chunky.

[quote]What do you expect him to look like

[quote]Thinner.

When you have that kind of money (and in his case time) and your entire public persona and source of income is your looks, you'd expect him to look better. Although most people in a similar situation also don't seem to manage.

Strauss Zelnick, the chairman of Take Two Interactive (we have several thread of him), is 62, so it is possible to say relatively fit as you get older (with or without the obvious HGH and steroids).

He has never had the kind of looks or clothes hanger frame that tend to age well. And fellas, good luck to all of you too. I suppose most of you would rather die at, what, 55?

[quote]And fellas, good luck to all of you too. I suppose most of you would rather die at, what, 55?

Most of us fellas don't make a living being filmed or photographed, nor get paid a lot for looking a particular way.

For the past 40 years, he has made his money based on his looks and public image. When that does not comport with reality, there will be criticism.

R10

I am a hunk now.

OP, it's called time.

Tammy's tits are sagging and she needs a push up bra!

She has some barely discernible facelift scars even in the 2002 photo!

You can only fight genetics for so long. Eventually your body will become was it was genetically programmed to become. I cannot even imagine the discipline it takes Zelnick -- at r24 -- to look like a reasonably fit 30 year old at 62. It is a single-minded, exhaustive physical workout routine and cosmetic regime followed by round the clock deprivation. Or it isn't. It all depends on the genes.

Cruise had a very good run. You can tell from his early pictures that he should have been fat and bald by 37.

R24 It is so strange that you assume that man is not using HGH and has not had any work done.

He dresses like he's 35 years younger than he is.

There are so many firming creams, and eye bag-deflating gels that I'm sure those make-up artists slather on his mug for the camera. He probably doesn't use them day to day. He's been a bit chunkier for awhile now. Since he broke his ankle, it became more noticeable to me. Some said he was wearing Spanx for men during his filming.

Looks significantly above average for his age.

He looks so much better with less weight on him.

Tammy is probably closer to 67 than 57.

He looks like Michael Fishman’s younger brother

WE CAN FIX IT IN POST!

I'm with R34. If he wasn't an insane cult member, I would have him.

he did it for me when he was young, but his shortness and his forced and joyless "LIKE me, LIKE me!" grin became turnoffs when he hit his forties and could no longer reasonably pass for a frat buy.

The last film he was attractive in was "Magnolia" but for that he was in the best shape of his life.

I started to watch a movie from On Demand recently, Woman in Gold, about a woman who was trying to get back a painting of Gustav Klimt that was stolen from her family by the Nazis in WWII Germany.

The young lawyer who helped her was married to a woman played by Katie Holmes. I was so grossed out I turned off the movie. She's one of those actors who when you see in a film you think, "That's Katie Holmes, ex-wife of sofa jumper Tom Cruise" and they you can't relate to her as the person she's playing. She will always be sad-faced ex-wife of a nut.

[quote][R24] It is so strange that you assume that man is not using HGH and has not had any work done.

R31, it's so strange that you presume to comment without actually understanding what someone else wrote:

[quote]so it is possible to say relatively fit as you get older (with or without the obvious HGH and steroids).

While he extended his life as an action hero, once age finally did catch up with him, it seems like a bit of a shock. I actually think older men look better with the graying, grizzled look (like George Clooney, before he made himself look ridiculous with a young wife & babies)

Not to mention the ridiculous Robert Redford who continues to act and try to appear as if he remains a surfer boy!!!

That hair/wig!!!

Awful. Awful.

Paul Newman remains one of the men who looked great as he aged.

Cary Grant is another.

He has tons of Scientologists wait on him hand and foot. He doesn't have to do crap. So of course he has put on a little weight. I am sure for next Top Gun he will be all digitally handsome. I just he has gone overboard on the plastic surgery. He has never really done anything for him. He is too creepy.

[quote]The young lawyer who helped her was married to a woman played by Katie Holmes.

That would be Ryan Reynolds.

George Clooney now looks frail, R43. Not sure if that's down to Amal and Thing 1 and 2.

Damn. He is turning into Tammy. Is this some DL voodoo at work?

R42 I would suggest that man could very well be succeeding with just a Testosterone supplement as well. Many older men 60+ who look that good use steroid "precursors" as well, but avoid the other stuff.

Erna has finally been Redlined!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reminds me of how Dick Clark looked good for decades and then aging hit him like a ton of bricks.

[quote][R42] I would suggest that man could very well be succeeding with just a Testosterone supplement as well. Many older men 60+ who look that good use steroid "precursors" as well, but avoid the other stuff.

And I would seriously suggest you learn how to read as this comment suggests that you are unable to parse a simple sentence.

Getting? TC is old, pushing 60 as a matter of fact.

Just as with other actors am sure TC goes on a diet/exercise regime to get in shape for a film role, but when not working tends to relax things a bit.

He isn't a young guy out partying and or attempting to pull. With his money and fame TC could get woman or man he wanted even if he put on an extra 100lbs.

TC has had a remarkable good Hollywood run, and has amassed great wealth as a result. He doesn't need to prove anything, and more to the point at his age it is natural to start slowing down. It isn't as if he's married or even in a committed relationship which is one main reason guys try to keep themselves from totally going to seed.

As we discussed in another thread, a guy can have only so much plastic surgery done before he starts looking like Nicholas Cage or something. TC already has had enough work done, but that nose keeps growing and now is beginning to look odd when set against a face otherwise filled with botox, lifted and whatever else has been done.

Putting on a bit of weight actually helps balance out TC's looks, especially in the face as the fullness detracts a bit from that nose.

Didn't he hurt himself recently? Maybe he had to curb the exercise and his metabolism slowed? I've never really been a fan because of the Scieno crap.

R52 I'm not your nit-picker who cannot read. I'm a completely different poster with a different idea. I was merely suggesting an in-between approach, as I know many men who do this without a jab of HGH or steroids.

Tom has been getting on my nerves for decades....middle-aged men aren't BOYS--they're not MEANT to be boys. His toothy eternal boyishness was SO creepy....turns out it's not eternal.

[quote]middle-aged men aren't BOYS--they're not MEANT to be boys. His toothy eternal boyishness was SO creepy

Creepy? What's creepy about it?

He was surprisingly fat during his wedding to Katie. Terrible hair as well.

What "hair"?

TC has been wearing hair (aka a rug) for a very long time now, and that includes at his marriage to Katie Holmes

He's almost exactly my age. With all of his plastic surgery, I don't feel so bad about how I look.

Cruise does not wear a wig/rug, that is his real hair. He is obviously on propecia (and has been for a long time) his hairline has not moved a centimeter (compared to his younger days)

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

It's called a rug. Ask William Shatner. His hair never moves. No shame in it. He looks good for someone almost 60.

As for someone saying Tom Cruise can get anyone he wants. Bullshit. You couldn't pay me enough to be in that creepy horrible cult. Why do think Katie Holmes is so messed up.

Maybe?

[quote]Why do think Katie Holmes is so messed up.

Well, to be fair, she probably wasn't the poster child of stability before marrying him - as illustrated by the fact that she married him.

He needs to call me. I can help him with his looks, and also with his acting craft.

He needs to leave the cult of Scientology; I can help him with that by taking him to my church.

What a coup it would be to steal Tom Cruise from Scientology.

Chris Pratt should be working overtime to nab him.

I just watched the latest Mission Impossible movie. Tammy is turning into an action hero Baby Jane with the preposterous running and fighting for a man pushing 60.

Henry Cavill was hot as fuck, though.

Would Tom Cruise really wear a "rug" when there have been great permanent solutions to baldness for the past 25 years?

Tom Cruise then and now.

He has the Peter Pan syndrome of wanting to look eternally youthful. But at age 57 it's getting more difficult for him because the metabolism of the body starts to slow down and it's easier to put on weight. He's now fighting Mother Nature and Father Time all the way.

He likely really has to work out a lot before making a new film and be on a strict, proper diet. The magic of Hollywood and the proper lighting probably helps him in his fight against time.

Apparently Tom Cruise hasn't had a relationship with his daughter Suri for years - since 2013 - since she is not a Scientologist. The 'church' conditions him not to have ties with her. What a fuck-up father/person he is. Haven't seen one of his movies in years and nor do I intend to.

His body was chunky and his ass was fat and saggy when he did Rainman.

For Interview with a Vampire he got a bunch of lipo done in order to not look bad next to Brad Pitt.

I'm surprised he kept it up for this long.

When he got injured on that last Mission Impossible movie he would have had to starve himself to keep the weight off.

It should be interesting to see what he turns into without the illusion of boyish good looks.

I'm guessing he's entering his Marlon Brando caftan phase.

Wut a bunch of dumb marys. The sharpening has been turned way up for OPs pic.

No matter how good your work is, eventually you just look OLD.

With Suri years ago you can see that his body is chunky and out of shape along with bags under his eyes and age wrinkles on his throat. He's obviously had work done on him since that time and probably has to really work out and get into shape before making a new movie.

He's always had the kind of body that requires constant maintenance in order to stay thin: short and a stocky frame with a barrel chest. When you have that kind of build, you can gain weight just from looking at food. You have to exercise constantly and be careful about every bite of food you eat or you'll get fat in five minutes. It's a 24/7 job when your body is like that. He held up a LOT longer than many other guys like him. A LOT longer. If he hadn't been famous and wealthy he would've porked out before he was even 30.

Is Suri really his child?

R78 She sure resembles him... What are your suspicions?

R79 Chris Klein

He was hot in Top Gun and also Cocktails and many other films. I'm a fan.

yes, he's older...can't be helped.

Nice titties, Tom, but they're beginning to sag.

Yes, his titties are so big I hope he does not get breast cancer.

....

r81 Was he also hot in Magnolias and Rain Men?

I think he had micrografting done to fill in areas just like B Coop and others. Very common in Hollyweird. I also think he wears pieces.

Womanly Thighs!

If TC has been on finasteride as man of you seem to believe, he likely will have more side effects/heath issues than sagging moobs.

For a while doctors were putting trans on finasteride for its anti-testosterone properties, many have since stopped.

So what’s really the deal with his hair? Op’s pic suggest it’s not looking like a rug and yet he almost have a full head of hair still .

Tammy got some big-ass tittays!

I post on 2 different hair loss forums and the general consensus is that Tammy is on dutasteride -- given his; moobs, lack of facial hair (he used to have a heavy-ish beard ~10 years ago) and overall estrogenic appearance (he went from ruggedly handsome to MenWhoLookLikeOldLesbians)

that is his real hair, he is not wearing a rug/wig

I believe it's his real hair as well. Those wearing a hair "system" or micro-weave usually always look the same... same exact length and style, whereas Cruise has grown his long at times with a definite part... something quite impossible to do with a "Hairclub" micro-weave.

[quote] Tammy got some big-ass tittays!

Which other non-fat famous men have “big-ass tittays!”

R93 Ben Affleck has tits even when fit

R93 Ben Affleck has tits even when fit

Leo Dicaprio is a C cup now, I believe.

Those pictures at R59 of the "Katie Holmes" tale, (including the stunned initial look on Oprah's face as the couch jumping began), he looks like KH is his hostage.

I'd love to hear the story of her escape and her Dad's behind the scenes maneuvering. Would have made a great plot for one of those Mission Impossible movies.

Given his sneak attack on Kidman, what goes around, came around. Big time.

In his mind, Tom will always be 35.

The Mirror crack’d

MOOBS!

Gawd, for a split second I thought it was Dennis Quaid !

Keep in mind, Cruise is pushing 60. He's no young man anymore. He's actually only 3, 4 yrs younger than Paul Newman was when the two made THE COLOR OF MONEY.

Getting old in Hollywood, a nightmare

Tell me about it, r102.

Nic

Tom sometimes wears hair pieces. Several years ago he was on Oprah and he remarked to her he was wearing a hair piece in the clip they had just shown. He said it to her privately while the clip was playing and probably didn’t know she was going to repeat it to the audience.

Forget the hips. He face looks like he’s 70 in that picture.

One thing I like about Cruise is that he could have easily done a million Cocktail-like movies, but actually aimed pretty high - at least until the 2010s.

R98 Try 25!

He always had a weird body even when he was young. I remember seeming Eyes Wide Shut in the theater and the audience reaction was eww. Even though he wasnt fat, it was strange and womanly. Now he's full on Lesbo.

There's something going on because I know a lot of men his age with a few extra lbs and non of them look odd like that.

Ellen looks like she's packed on a few pounds as well, while launching her new season and issuing another non apology.

He's looking like Caitlyn's ugly transitioning little sister. Lumpy, swollen, wrinkled, with wide hips and hanging titties.

TC ten years ago at 48, what a difference a decade makes.

Thomas Cruise Mapother IV was 58 as of his last birthday (3 July) and like many tail end baby boomers is fast leaving middle age and approaching senior citizen status.

He looks good enough for a man his age, better than some I shouldn't wonder. Unfortunately for us all nose and ears continue to grow until we die; and TC's nose seems to be taking up more facial real estate. This is coupled by his eyes becoming more "beady" which tends to happen with some people as they age.

To his credit for most part TC has left his face alone, or at least only had minor and very discrete work done. This as opposed to some other actors TC's age who resemble something out of a science fiction novel.

That body was at 48? Eww, something wrong with it. I don't just mean old, the proportions are very strange. Like flat man boobs, really wide midsection but not fat, no abs but up peck definition.

Couldn't happen to a creepier guy.

Couldn't happen to a creepier guy.

Here's another from 2013 Father's Day at beach with son Conner Cruise.

I think he gets fillers and light procedures in the face and when they wear off, he gets lumpy and saggy. It's not as bad as Jeanne Cooper, who would get a full facelift and within a year be as wrinkled as a Shar-Pei again, but it's probably a regular cycle for him and as he ages, the sags are going to get worse every time they reappear.

Poor Tom never looked good shirtless, heavy or not.

His basic shape/proportions are off plus he's very short.

I think his hair is real but that face has had some work done.

There was an image posted here of Tom (post surgery) with his face swollen up like a balloon.

Hint: Stay inside until the swelling goes down.

And if Suri were really his bio kid, he never would have given up like he did. Ever.

Does he have the range to play grandfather roles?

No, but he could do the aged former adventurer thing that Sean Connery did in the 1990s. Less sexy than Sean but it would be in his wheelhouse, acting-wise.

He could probably also pull off the older ruthless CEO roles as long as he was merely featured and not the lead or star.

Damn, Tammy's done got swole. And not in the good way. And someone needs to tell him that boys with wide asses should never wear skinny jeans.

He’s been fighting the bulge for years. He porked out as per his wedding pictures with Katie Holmes

TC should just retire while the getting is good. He's got buckets of money, and it is always better to go out on a high note than be dragged down into "B" or "C" roles/pictures.

If Tom Cruise had the height, looks and sophistication of say a Cary Grant, he could maybe pull off a Brian Cruikshank (alias Peter Joshua) (alias Alexander Dyle) (alias Adam Canfield) from "Charade" film, but alas he lacks all of those traits.

OTOH with the proper vehicle and done well, an "older" romance sort of film might work; I mean before TC became an action hero he did put a few such roles under his belt. Fraus still love him world over enough to bring in a decent box office, again it would have to be the right sort of book.

for someone who is transitioning, THEY looks pretty good. They-Tammy still has at least 800 pounds to go before they looks like a suburban lesbian.

TC in an 'older romance' film would indeed be of service to mankind for the gales of laughter which would ensue. That would drown out any dim-bulb fraus who still find him credible. Surely so few of those remain alive.

[quote] Forget the hips. He face looks like he’s 70 in that picture.

Evil always show up on the face sooner or later. That’s not just age, it’s a reflection of his soul.

There are two types of Scientologists: The slaves (who are the vast majority, and are suckered out of everything) and the slave owners (Miscavige and the top celebrities, especially Cruise) who are sadistic users.

[quote] TC should just retire while the getting is good. He's got buckets of money, and it is always better to go out on a high note than be dragged down into "B" or "C" roles/pictures.

Are you kidding? His butt buddy David Miscavige would never allow that. Gotta keep those big bucks funneling into the 'church'. The way Tom lives the money would stash would decrease fast if he wasn't working, bringing in the big paychecks.

He had gynecomastia back in the 80's and had a boob reduction then so he is no stranger to the plastic surgeon's office. So, genetically when he gains weight I think it goes to his moobs. Me too.

Add 100 pounds and she'd look like 10 million white lesbians. She does look way long in the tooth now. Poor Tammy.

His sins are catching up with him...

He's got to keep making those crappy action movies to keep his cult in the dough.
