DOB:- 3-July-1962
Place:- Syracuse, New York, United State
Born in Syracuse, New York, Cruise's father left home when
Cruise finally found the acting bug after his mother had
remarried and settled in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. A knee injury that kept him
off his high school wrestling team also made him think about joining the less
injury prone ranks of the drama club.
After high school, he moved to New York and supported
himself as a busboy and maintenance worker until he won an audition for Endless
Love. Other films equally as bad as Endless Love followed until he won the lead
in Risky Business (1983), which launched his career.
Once married to Mimi Rogers, the couple divorced in 1990
after Tom Cruise met Nicole Kidman, at the time an up-and-coming Australian
actress with whom he co-starred in Days of Thunder. Kidman and Cruise married
December 24, 1990. In February 2001 he and Kidman separated after he met
Penelope Cruz on the set of Vanilla Sky (2001). In August 2001, he and Kidman,
with whom he'd adopted two children, were divorced and in January 2004, he and
Cruz broke up.
Nominated three times for an Oscar, Cruise has never taken
home the coveted statuette, although he has won three Golden Globes for his
performances in Born on the Fourth of July (1989), Jerry Maguire (1996),
Mission: Impossible (1996) and Magnolia (1999). However, he has also won a
Razzie Award as Worst Actor for Cocktail (1988). Cruise has a Star on the
Hollyood Walk of Fame, located at 6912 Hollywood Blvd.
Paid $75,000 for his first starring role in Risky Business,
Cruise is now one of Hollywood's top earners. In July 2012, Forbes listed him
as the highest paid actor in Hollywood with $75 million in earnings from 2011
to 2012.
Cruise began dating Katie Holmes, 16 years his junior, in
April 2005. During an appearance on Oprah Winfrey's talk show, he jumped on the
sofa and giggled about his relationship with Holmes, saying love had turned him
into a lunatic. It gained him a lot of negative media attention, and even after
they were engaged in June 2005, the media accused the couple of staging their
romance as a publicity stunt. In fact, Cruise became a figure of intense
ridicule, which prompted Paramount Pictures to drop him and his production
company after 14 years in August 2006. In an interview with the Wall Street
Journal, Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone commented, "As much as we like
him personally, we thought it was wrong to renew his deal. ... His recent
conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount."
In the meantime, Cruise and Holmes became the parents of a
daughter they named Suri on April 18, 2006. They were married in a lavish
wedding that took place in an Italian castle on November 18, 2006. Cruise then
revitalized his career by teaming with MGM to resurrect United Artists, a
classic movie studio originally founded by Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford,
Charlie Chaplin and D.W. Griffith. In 2009 he was nominated for an Oscar for
his supporting role in the comedy Tropic Thunder (2008). He has also won
acclaim for his work in the WWII-era drama Valkyrie (2008). Next, he chose to
play a super spy opposite Cameron Diaz in the hilarious comedy Knight and Day
(2010) before reprising his role as Agent Ethan Hawke for a third time in
Mission: Impossible 3 - Ghost Protocol (2011). Cruise also landed a supporting
role in Adam Shankman's highly-anticipated musical film Rock of Ages (2012)
based on the successful Broadway production.
Unfortunately, Katie filed for divorce, asking for full
custody of Suri, in July 2012.
