Not even considering what he was going to do, he leaped off from the world’s tallest building in Dubai. We all know this is Tom Cruise, but do we really know Tom Cruise? Onscreen, he is our biggest daredevil movie star out there, of course. But offscreen, though, Cruise is very elusive.

The world-famous movie star is intensely secretive of his personal and private details of his life. Plus, when Cruise tries to seem like an ordinary person, he doesn’t sound like a normal human at all, instead sounding like a computer approximation of one – when asked which team he was rooting for at a baseball game, Cruise replied monotonously that he was just simply a fan of baseball.

Cruise cares more about acting than the real world, it seems. Seeing Cruise fooling around or being lazy in a performance will be as likely as the world will be taken over by monkeys today.

Treating every movie he does as if it were the most important one ever is a Hallmark of a Cruise movie, and surely shows his devotion to the medium. His dedication runs deeper than the crazy stunts he’s pulled off ( hanging on the side of a plane, climbing the world’s tallest building, etc. ) if that’s even possible. He has repeatedly refused to make a movie for the likes of Netflix, Cruise preserves his interest so that he feels “every bit as big as the image” when he looms over you in IMAX dimensions.

Having all the qualities in a great and successful movie star but none of the qualities in a normal person, Cruise has many secrets. Can you uncover them all? Go to the theaters to find out.
