TOM CRUISE

Tom Cruise is an actor and producer who is recognized mostly for his action-packed films, including Top Gun, Mission Impossible franchise, and The Mummy. He has been one of the highest-paid actors of all time, but behind the millions worth of estates and rocking the red carpet of the Oscars is an interesting story.

Born as Thomas Cruise Mapother IV on July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, New York. His childhood house in Syracuse is probably 20 times smaller than his abode in Colorado today. He might not have a lot growing up as his father worked as an electrical engineer, while his mother was a teacher. However, with perseverance and hard work,  he managed to break into show business and got his breakthrough role in the 1983 film Risky Business. He has been nominated for three Oscars but has never delivered an acceptance speech yet.
