On screen, it is undeniable that Tom Cruise is one of America’s finest actors. He proved that with his recent blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick,” blowing past the 1-billion-dollar mark in gains.
Offscreen, however, Cruise is mysterious. He is intensely secretive about his personal life. When he tries to act relaxed, he ends up mimicking an AI’s, monotone vague response to a question. When asked what team he was rooting for at a Giants-Dodgers game, he responded, “I’m a fan of baseball.”
Most of his success as an actor in the 80s-90s was in romance movies, where he showed his handsomeness instead of his acting skills. These movies include “Risky Business,” “Jerry Maguire,” and many others. Each relied on his ability to portray the everyday American and the sympathetic heartthrob.
He has since moved away from romance and drama and has focused on replacing his reputation from the sexy guy to the action guy. Over the last couple of decades, he has starred in action films; movies such as “Top Gun” and “Mission: Impossible.” His performances tend to emphasize his easy charisma and powerful athleticism while still maintaining a high level of delicacy.
The outcome of each movie that he plays in is a result of hours of work, blood, and sweat. While casting “Top Gun: Maverick,” he encouraged his co-stars to withstand g-force pressures. It would be so much easier to do this in front of a green screen, but that’s not Cruise. He puts his all into his work, and it shows!
