Tom Cruise fixed his face!

In October, fans started speculating about Tom Cruise’s face because he looked completely different than we are used to seeing him. He didn’t look like himself and of course, that’s when the plastic surgery rumors started to leak out. But it felt like an uncomfortable topic to be speculating about given the fact that the Jack Reacher star is 59 years old and he should be allowed age gracefully.

Well, one month later, Cruise was spotted on the set of Mission Impossible looking every bit like the Tom Cruise we all know and love. (See the photos HERE.) Hopefully, that will put everyone, who questioned that the Top Gun actor was at the World Series game in the first place, at ease. In October, ESPN reporter Molly Knight didn’t believe it was the A-list star, tweeting, “Gonna spend the rest of tonight and all of tomorrow wondering if some random dude convinced the Giants he was Tom Cruise.”

That led to The Sun throwing out several different theories like spaghetti to a wall, hoping one of them would stick. “Tom definitely looks swollen and puffy, which could be due to filler, post-procedure swelling, or weight gain,” Medical expert Dr. Alice Henshaw told the U.K. publication. “Often, surgical procedure such as a platysmal plasty, or neck lift, combined with a mid-facelift could create this type of swelling in these areas, and scars are easily disguised.”

So, everyone can calm down now. Cruise looks like his movie star self again — and whatever was the issue last month (aka none of our business) — we don’t need to worry about it anymore.

Aren’t there rumours that he has had false teeth put in which on one occasion fell out? Maybe his facial change is due to tooth issues.

Katherine Hepburn had pretty good plastic surgery throughout her life. She had it in the 50s and then before Coco. Lansbury as well. They never looked like freaks though you could see they had some tightening done.

I think Tom Cruise fucked his way to the top. His rise was incredibly fast. Other actors like Brad Pitt took nearly a decade to get big roles after years of bit parts. Tom rose so fast and it could not have been on talent alone. He had a pointless scene in Zeffirelli's Endless Love, then got a groundbreaking role in Taps and later ended up in Coppola's twink-fest The Outsiders to getting lead roles in All The Right Moves and Risky Business. All within 2 years!

Also did he get speech therapy? Because his voice sounds completely different in Endless Love

@R17, that's not really a pointless scene because he gives the main character the idea to burn down Brooke Shields' house. However, in that short scene, he takes off his shirt, wears Daisy Dukes, then lies down on the grass with the camera at his feet, pointing at his crotch. His VOICE there was awful. He sounds like Woody Woodpecker or something. He probably did get speech therapy.

Not a single picture or clip goes out on his/the studio's social that Tom doesn't have approval over. He has his own person to retouch him the way he likes. Tom approves every shot with his likeness in every movie he makes. You can be sure that the photo has been worked.

He does look better than a few weeks ago at the game. He should not have gone out that night, and he's missing someone in his life and career to tell him otherwise. Not surprising. But he hasn't looked quite right, not quite like himself, since about 2013.

by Anonymousreply 41November 28, 2021 1:45 AM

The Outsiders was written by a teenage girl in the 1960s. You can clearly see that in how sentimental, affectionate and articulate the main characters to each other were despite being working-class teenage boys from broken homes. Coppola adapted it to the big screen in the 1980s and I think he's an amazing cinematographer and added more dimension to the story. The studio wanted it to be a blockbuster since it was a popular book, so kept the sentimentality and romanticism to it. I think Coppola had way more creative freedom with Rumble Fish which played out more of a neo-noir with morally ambiguous characters. Way more Coppola's style than SE Hinton.

R42 I had no idea the author was a woman. But now it makes sense. The boys are not like any boys I knew growing up. The way they are with each other does seem overly sentimental more like sisters than brothers... The whole “gone with the wind” stuff really threw me. I was wondering if they were trying to imply the kids were gay.

R44 There was a lot of homoeroticism in the book and film. Pony-Boy, Dally and Johnny seemed to have this love triangle thing going on. The film added tons of scenes that focus on Rob Lowe and Matt Dillon's shirtless bodies. I agree they did not act like actual teenage boys especially from poor white trash homes and supposedly belonging to a gang. But if they did act more realistic though then I don't think it would have become a standardized reading in high schools because it would be a lot more brutal and more politically incorrect.

He's uneducated and clearly had issues because of his father. He was always religious as was raised Catholic. I think even in early interviews, he seemed a bit off. So many Hollywood actors have mood or personality disorders. I think that's what attracts them to the arts, they get the love and adoration they feel they lacked in their upbringing. My theory about the appeal of young Tom Cruise was he was a nonthreatening boy next door with a sweet face. Suburban people could relate to him. He was good looking but not extraordinarily so like Rob Lowe nor was he overly rugged or muscular like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Rob Lowe is about equal to me in talent to Cruise. Cruise puts out good performances though rarely any groundbreaking stuff. Just professional and gets the job done. Rob Lowe is wooden in drama but surprisingly he's strong in comedy and has a sense of humor. Rare for extraordinarily goodlooking people like him who can be rather dull. Cruise seems humorless in comparison.

The thing about Tom is that he had an abusive childhood. He is emotionally stunted and empty inside. He talks and acts in an infantilized manner and always forcing a smile. He seems to want everyone to shower him with affection and adoration. He never acts sincere. Narcissism is born out of childhood abuse and neglect and of course the entertainment industry would attract a lot of damaged souls like that. Scientology came to him because he was emotionally fragile and it gave him comfort and fulfilled his needs to be adored by even more people. It's no different than narcissists who get involved in other organized religions or cults with hierarchies.

That said, a lot of people who have worked with Tom said he is a control freak and a perfectionist. He is extremely hard on himself when he messes up and is super professional. But he's also said to be very generous to his staff and coworkers and is very polite to everyone. I'm sure he's done shady stuff with Scientology but he never seemed that bright, so I don't know if he is just used as a figurehead puppet or he's just drunk with power and justifies the church's misdeeds.

In the 90s I thought he was a cheeseball superstar and had no interest in him. Then the Katie H drama was all so distasteful and made him look like a horrible person.

However, I just saw Collateral, the Michael Mann film and I liked Cruise’s performance in that. He was outshone by Jamie Foxx but still, he did pull off the stone cold killer with a few cracks in the facade quite well.

I think sometimes he is good in a role. I think he is a better actor than Brad “marble mouth” Pitt.

I would rather hang out/have sex with Pitt though!

by Anonymousreply 82December 1, 2021 5:09 PM

Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are style over substance. Hollywood movie stars to the core. Not thespian actors. They just do their work and are adequate at it but rarely try to rise above their materiel or give provocative performances. Pitt did try to do interesting stuff in the 90s to avoid being pigeonholed as a vapid pretty boy like Kalifornia, Se7en and Cool World though.
