Tom Cruise: Photos of the ‘Mission: Impossible’ Actor

Since the early 1980s, Tom Cruise has been one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and you can see his best photos here.

Tom Cruise became one of Hollywood’s most enduring stars after early breakout roles in All the Right Moves and Risky Business. His superstardom was solidified with 1986’s Top Gun, followed by acclaimed performances in films like Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, A Few Good Men, Interview With the Vampire, Jerry Maguire, and Magnolia. While he earned several Golden Globes for his dramatic work, Cruise shifted toward large-scale action filmmaking in the mid-2000s.

He launched the Mission: Impossible franchise in 1996, and the series took off after Mission: Impossible III (2006), marking the start of a new era of high-intensity, stunt-driven blockbusters. He later headlined action hits including Jack Reacher, Edge of Tomorrow, and The Mummy, cementing his reputation as one of cinema’s last true action icons. In November 2025, Cruise reached a major career milestone when he received an Honorary Oscar at the Governors Awards — his first Academy Award. During his emotional speech, he reflected on his decades in the industry, saying, “Making films is not what I do — it’s who I am.”

Though he tends to stay private, Cruise’s personal life has always generated attention. He has been married three times — to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes — and shares two adopted children with Kidman and a daughter, Suri, with Holmes. In early 2025, he briefly sparked romance rumors with Ana de Armas during their filming prep, though reports later said the relationship fizzled out and the two remain friendly.
