Since the start of his career, Tom Cruise was elusive, yet one of the world’s biggest movie stars. His charisma and impressive stunts help create some of the world’s favorite movies. Yet off camera, he often seems like a robot trying to be relatable. Such a stark contrast makes it hard to contemplate—who is Tom Cruise?
Most of his early success was thanks to his good-natured charm. As a relatable American Everyman, a troublemaker, or an endearingly naive character, he won the hearts of the American mainstream. Over time, he moved into the action-adventure genre, playing more characters in high-action films. With blockbuster movies such as “Mission: Impossible” or “Top Gun,” it’s not hard to guess that he was good at what he did.
The most defining feature of his acting is the consistent quality. He plays every movie like it’s the biggest he’s ever done. It’s almost as if he can’t make a bad movie. Like any good actor, he’s also devoted to the movies he stars in. Cruise strongly believes in a traditional cinematic experience in a theater. During the lockdown, more and more content has started to become increasingly tailored to personal devices. His efforts to preserve the movie theater are ultimately significant to cinema enthusiasts.
Tom Cruise also stands out in the way that people know him by name and not by character. For example, many people may know Spider-Man, Captain America, and Thor, but the majority of people don’t know who plays them. However, everyone knows Tom Cruise by name. We don’t know him as Ethan Hunt or Pete Mitchell, we know him as Tom Cruise.
Let’s return to our main question—who is Tom Cruise? What we know for sure is that he’s captured the heart of the public. He’s what we care about—not the characters he plays.
