How Tom Cruise, Pushing 60, Survived The End Of The Star Era (NDTV)

Tom Cruise managed to recover and thrive by presenting himself as something like a real-life superhero.

"He is someone who is devoted to cinema. "I've produced 30 to 40 movies," he told Empire magazine recently. "Batman is a great example of the shift that happened around 2000 when franchise films took over. said Paul Dergarabedian, of media analysts Comscore. Cruise has become an ambassador for cinemas -- even sneaking into a screening of Christopher Nolan's "Tenet" at the height of the pandemic in summer 2020 in a bid to boost sales. When Cruise was last in Cannes for the premiere of the ill-fated "Far and Away" with his then-wife Nicole Kidman, he was just one among many in the Hollywood star system.

Tom Cruise was a special guest at the festival where he was honored with a 10-minute montage of highlights from his decades-long career.

Although Kidman has spoken about their marriage in the past, she recently said she is "reluctant" to do so. In an essay for New York Magazine in 2018, Kidman said she is reluctant to talk about her marriage with Cruise because "it almost feels disrespectful" to her current husband, Keith Urban. Kidman and Urban married in 2006 and have two children together. The pair adopted two children together in 1992 and 1994, but after 11 years together, Cruise filed for a divorce in 2001.

Tom Cruise Mania Lands at Cannes as Movie Festival Lauds Big ... (NBC New York)

Tom Cruise mania descended Wednesday in Cannes where the actor made a whirlwind appearance at the film festival.

Shooting the 1981 film “Taps,” with George C. Scott, he returned to it again and again as a formative experience. It has already touched down at CinemaCon in Las Vegas and premiered in San Diego. Paramount Pictures delayed its release two years during the pandemic, a move that appears to be paying off with glowing reviews and box-office expectations that “Top Gun: Maverick” will easily mark Cruise's biggest opening weekend ever. Cruise paused for several minutes to sign autographs and take pictures with fans lined up across the street from the red carpet. “He is devoted to cinema,” declared artistic director Thierry Fremaux. Cruise's enthusiastic welcome smacked in some ways of an action hero's reception, here to save the day. “Great Balls of Fire” blared on the carpet. Cruise clutched Cannes' top prize while the audience gave the actor a standing ovation.

Yes, “…he flies a P-51 in the movie, and he flies helicopters. I don’t make a movie just to make a movie. This could certainly result in logistical headaches for the film’s financing. I was always developing and studying the rigs. The navy, however, denied him permission to fly an F-18 fighter jet, revealed veteran producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Tom Cruise told Empire that he agreed to make his return as Maverick on one condition: “I said to Jerry [Bruckheimer], ‘I’ll do it if…’ meaning I’m not going to do the CGI stuff.”

Cannes Diary: Why Tom Cruise Is Our Biggest — and Most Elusive ... (Hollywood Reporter)

The 'Top Gun: Maverick' star is in a class by himself as a genuine Hollywood legend, but will we ever meet the person behind the larger-than-life persona?

The Cruise we got at Cannes is still dashingly handsome at a photocall and charming in a soundbite. The Cruise we got at Cannes is not the one who jumps on couches, but the one who gets us off of ours and back into movie theaters. As gracious as he was at the premiere, Cruise was also frustratingly evasive during the conversation with Allouch, returning to the same two or three anecdotes and phrases in response to nearly every question. People were clapping for Cruise, but also for what he represents — glamor, escape and the discipline of an old-fashioned movie star, now 59 and still carrying a flame for a business that nearly flickered out during the pandemic. “That was not going to happen ever,” Cruise said. When asked at Cannes on Wednesday, for the umpteenth time, why he insists on performing his own stunts despite the danger, Tom Cruise answered by referencing a screen legend from a bygone era.

Tom Cruise love-in at Cannes as 'Top Gun: Maverick' premieres (Toronto Star)

Tom Cruise, nearing 60, is being celebrated at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival for an extraordinary career. But there was one role the actor/producer couldn't ...

There’s excellent interplay between him and new characters Rooster (Miles Teller), the angry son of Maverick’s late flying partner, and Penny (Jennifer Connelly), a barkeep who brings levity and love to the story. Cruise and company bring fresh drama and heart to this followup “Top Gun” tale, directed by Joseph Kosinski. The movie exceeds the 1986 original in ways few people could have predicted after sequel plans were grounded for decades. He often sneaks into films to judge reactions: “I’ll put my cap on and sit in the audience.” There are many callbacks to the original film, but newcomers won’t have trouble keeping up. You don’t go to a Tom Cruise movie because of the story. That’s true, but Gene Kelly didn’t hang from skyscrapers and mountains and jump onto departing aircraft, as Cruise has done for his movies. He feared it might be the only one he would ever make. Cruise got into producing because he realized it gave him far more control. A third miracle is achieved from the get-go. He’s one of the world’s most popular and bankable stars, having garnered three Oscar nominations and earned billions of dollars for Hollywood studios. Just to be safe, though, there was no audience Q-and-A. Let’s call it what it really was: a love-in.

In addition his cheek bone, cheeks and jawline looks filled out, which in the absence of general weight gain is likely due to the use of a collagen filler to plump these areas out - just look carefully at his tear troughs and you can see they are filled out.' Tom was previously asked about surgery rumours back in a 2012 interview with Playboy magazine and he denied having gone under the knife. Right, cosmetic doctor Dr Tijion Esho, who appears in the Netflix series Bodyfixers. He says Madonna's look are possibly 'an amalgamation of decades of procedures' This is completely natural, normal and will happen to most of us as we age.' Tom underwent a full Aviation Survival Training Curriculum before going up in the US Navy F-18, as did his co-stars. September wasn't the first time Tom has shown a 'puffy face'. In 2016, BAFTA viewers were shocked by the Rain Man star's frozen appearance Miles Berry MS, FRCS consultant plastic surgeon of Cosmeticsurgery-partners.co.uk, remarked: 'I would agree that Botox is likely to produce the smooth, unlined forehead. This is completely natural, normal and will happen to most of us as we age.' I personally feel his injector has used far too much toxin resulting in a rather unnatural shiny look. The father-of-three sparked speculation he had fillers after sporting a fuller face during the LA Dodgers match, but looked significantly trimmer last night. Why Tom Cruise looks better than ever at 59! 'We also notice increase of fatty tissue in the lower aspects of our face and you can see this as he is showing a bit more volume around the chin and neck which can be due to this.

Tom Cruise told the press that he and Prince William have 'a lot in common' while walking the red carpet — details.

“She is taking inspiration from the late Princess and wanted to pay homage to on the night of the No Time to Die premiere by channeling the dress Diana wore at the View To A Kill premiere.” The Top Gun: Maverick event is the second major red carpet moment that the duke and duchess have enjoyed after the loosening of COVID restrictions, following the No Time To Die premiere in October 2021. For that event, the mother of three wore a gold Jenny Packham gown with statement sleeves and a ruched bodice as an homage to the late Princess Diana. “Kate admired Diana’s taste in fashion before William came into her life. “Stylistically, it’s going to be the same.” “Particularly after the last couple of years, just to have an event like this is extraordinary.” “We’re going to have the same tone that we had from the first,” the Jerry Maguire star told Access Hollywood in June 2017.

Nicole Kidman's snub during Tom Cruise tribute has Scientology ... (The Mercury News)

Much of the drama leading to Kidman and Cruise's bitter 2001 divorce centers on their differing views on Scientology.

In the film, Rathbun further alleged that Cruise became concerned about who Kidman was talking to and asked Scientology leaders to tap her phone. “They are adults,” Kidman said in the interview with Australia’s Who magazine. “Tommy told them over and over again their mother was a sociopath and after a while they believed him,” Rathbun recalled, Wright reported. Since the divorce, Kidman has said little about her marriage to Cruise or their divorce. Miscavige blamed Kidman and viewed her as a “gold digger who was faking Scientology,” Wright said. The church also worked to turn Cruise’s children with Kidman against her. In his book and film, Lawrence Wright explained how Miscavige wanted to keep Cruise happy. At some point, she pulled away from Scientology and Cruise seemed to distance himself as well, Wright reported. Most notably, Kidman doesn’t make an appearance in any clips from “Eyes Wide Shut,” the Stanley Kubrick-directed erotic drama that was built around her and Cruise playing a couple in a troubled marriage. Those movie fans include Prince William and Kate Middleton, who welcomed Cruise to “Top Gun’s” glittering premiere in London Thursday. Both works also suggest that Cruise stood by as Scientology leaders oversaw Kidman’s phone being wiretapped and worked to turn their children, Isabella and Connor, against her. The many reports also allege that the organization had disturbing influence over his marriage to Kidman.

Tom Cruise by the numbers: What makes him one of Hollywood's ... (The Sydney Morning Herald)

When Crocodile Dundee became a global hit in 1986, there was only one Hollywood movie that sold more tickets around the world.

It continued with Lions for Lambs, Valkyrie, Rock of Ages, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back and American Made all failing to crack $10 million in current dollars. While Cruise has long been an outspoken advocate of Scientology, it never seemed to affect his success. Unless you count narrating the 2002 IMAX documentary, Space Station 3D, Cruise has never starred in a movie directed by a woman. And he deserves much of the credit. Get The Watchlist delivered every Thursday. In Australia, $10 million is generally accepted as the benchmark for blockbuster success. Numero data shows his movies have taken more than $360 million in Australian cinemas. But it has to open strongly next week and keep selling tickets when Jurassic World Dominion, Lightyear, Elvis and Thor: Love and Thunder are released. You would expect Top Gun to be Cruise’s biggest hit. But playing a German colonel who attempted to assassinate Hitler in Valkyrie and a self-indulgent rock star in Rock of Ages resulted in two of his biggest flops in this country. Not only has he produced more than a dozen of his own movies, including all the Mission: Impossible and Jack Reacher instalments, he has taken on other projects when he’s had a relationship with the filmmaking team – producing Without Limits, Elizabethtown and Ask the Dust and executive producing The Others, Narc and Shattered Glass. With the long-delayed sequel Top Gun: Maverick about to open around the world, Cruise has been shooting the next two Mission: Impossible movies and plans to head into space in a partnership between Universal Pictures and Elon Musk’s SpaceX for a movie partly set on the International Space Station next year.
