When ET First Met Tom Cruise (Exclusive)

ET is taking a look at Tom Cruise’s Hollywood evolution, starting with the first time we met the actor in 1982.

[@Carolina_0]

He's fine like wine! And actually he'll be the first actor in space next year, always pushing the limits! His love for moviemaking is undeniable, he's the last real movie star.

[@anom6707]

Next year? I doubt it, the movie still hasn't begun filming. If you're referring to Mission Impossible 7, he's not going to space in that movie or Mission Impossible 8. The space movie is a separate movie entirely.

[@snatchyourenglishwithlusin7500]

His love for Scientology is also undeniable

[@Carolina_0]

@@anom6707 Next year they will start the shooting, according to NASA. I bet that when he end the MI7 promo, he will start shooting the SpaceX movie.

[@Carolina_0]

@@snatchyourenglishwithlusin7500 Also true. Me being an atheist I find every religion so odd, but no one should be punished by their beliefs.

@@mode7scaling3 l dont who are you talking about? I know just Tom Cruise

[@aadrathsd7282]

@@mode7scaling3 Shah Rukh Khan has managed to stay relevant through a carefully yet charmingly crafted PR. Not as a result of his filmography. While Tom Cruise hasn’t given a single flop in nearly 4 decades now(except maybe rock of ages where he played supporting). And he is “Hollywood”. You can’t draw his parallel to anyone in Bollywood or any other film industry. He’s like SRK(romantic dramas)+Salman Khan(fandom)+Aamir Khan(perfectionist) if you truly want to draw a parallel . And add balls of steel to that; and there really ain’t any actor who would match upto that aura. And those who compare him with Jackie Chan, they must understand that TC is an actor turned stunt daredevil while it’s the other way round for the former.

[@mode7scaling3]

@@aadrathsd7282 yes I see. right, srk was played up and marketed well by his team, but Salman khan has really gotten old and fat, wow, but even now I see srk as an old man, he is past his prime I must admit

[@anthtan]

I think he's due a lifetime achievement Oscar. He’s more than earned it, surely?

[@carold.7907]

Your right, I agree and Tom certainly deserves one . In Canada one would receive the Order of Canada for extraordinary achievement .

[@TammyGsings]

What impresses me the most is that this guy really is a nice guy. I watch his interviews and he’s so sincere and passionate about what he does and just was an ordinary person like the rest of us and so the weird stuff that gets put out there the media just blows my mind how people can make up ridiculous stories and how people can actually believe them So sad He seems like such a nice guy ❤

[@ghfun1]

If we don’t talk about his personal life. We talk about his Hollywood life he is a Hollywood legend one of the last few that are legends in cinema .

Was reading his filmography. Is nuts

[@byte2897]

Tom Cruise is the best actor for me. PERIOD. Don't care what people say about his personal life. Fuck that. I don't know him personally, and I don't intend do. What Tom Cruise does in his free time is honestly the least of my worries. I only know Tom Cruise as an actor, as a movie star, and he has never failed me in that regard. He gives his all on the screen and that's what matters most to me in the end. Glad that TOP GUN : MAVERICK has been a chance for skeptics to gain a new sense of respect for the amazing career this man has. Hope to see Tom in the drama genre now that MI series are coming to an end.

[@Fritha71]

Exactly!! And yes, I would love for him to get back to drama movies - he has always had what it takes to act in dramas.

Jesus Christ. No one will ever be this handsome

[@boxy1375]

I have personally seen dozens of anonimous guys who are in Tom's league when it comes to being handsome. But, most of these guys are anonimous and most of them are not from Usa. These guys are usually from Italy, Serbia, Montenegro, some middle eastern countries etc. I've also seen one guy from London that could be literally another Tom Cruise. The world is huge. Among celebrities Tom and Brad are probably the best looking among celebrities. However, among anonimous people there are hundreds of men that are in their league.

[@oldpalmcity]

@@boxy1375 Tom has more than a pretty face. He has charisma.

[@boxy1375]

He has amazing career and it seems for him to put his career in the first place so he was always amazingly professional, he was not arrogant to media at all. He really understands what crown he wears and knows what to do to endure it. For 40 years he's been always the best and so does his choice. He's the king of hollywood and represents modern uncle sam himself.
