Tom Cruise

When he was young, Tom Cruise had it rough because he grew up with a physically abusive father. However, instead of going into the wrong side of the fence, he used this as a motivation to lift up his standard of living. With that in mind, he used acting as an avenue to steam off a couple of stressful situations happening in his life. He found solace in acting and creating skits after he performed in a school production.

Tom pursued an acting career and made his film debut in Endless Love. By the ‘90s, he became one of the hottest stars in Hollywood, especially after getting his big break when he landed the starring role for the Mission: Impossible series remake. Tom is currently focused on his responsibilities for the Church of Scientology which could be the reason he doesn’t take as many film credits. He surely knows how to balance out things now.
