Mother, Mary Lee was also an actress, and father Thomas, in whose honor the boy was named, worked as an engineer. Parents did not sit in one place and often moved. When the boy was 12 years old, his parents split up. Children had to work part-time, because now they did not have enough money. First they moved to Kentucky and then to New Jersey. It was there that Tom graduated from high school.

He was small, so he tried to be friends with younger children. To prevent ridicule of peers, began to play sports and even achieved good success in the sport. But because of the knee injury received, these lessons had to be left. Study was given to him with difficulty. First, he turned out to be left-handed, and teachers in those days tried to teach children to write with their right hand. Secondly, he had dyslexia. This disease consists in the problem perception of the text. He was even transferred to a special class, but soon the boy managed to cope with problems, and he began to study under the usual program. During the year, Tom studied in the theological seminary, but then he refused to become a priest and entered college. There he began to participate in amateur arts and quickly realized that his acting was given him much easier than studying.

In 1980, the future actor moved to New York. That's where the filmography of Tom Cruise begins. A year later, he gets his first small role in the film Zeffirelli "Infinite Love." Since then, he almost every year comes out on the picture. After 2 years in the movie "Risky business" actor gets the main role. In 1987, he married the actress Mimi Rogers. Some believe that it was Tom Cruise's first wife who introduced him to Scientology.

Roles in cinema and life

As an actor, Tom revealed in the film "The Man of the Rain," although critics appreciated Hoffmann's play more. A year later, Cruz played the role of veteran in the drama "Born July 4". For this film, he was nominated for an Oscar, but the treasured statue went to Daniel Day-Lewis. In 1990 he was removed in the film "Days of Thunder". There Cruise meets an actress of Australian descent Nicole Kidman. He divorces and immediately makes a new marriage with Nicole. Their children they did not have, but the couple adopted a girl, and then a boy. From the beginning to the mid-90's Cruz is removed in several different genre films. In 1996, for the role in the film "Jerry Maguire" he was again nominated for an Oscar, but this time he got another actor.

In 2001, the actor starred in the movie "Vanilla Sky", where his partner was Penelope Cruz. They have a stormy romance, this year Nicole and they are divorced. His affair with Penelope lasted 3 years, and in 2004 they announced their separation. In 2005, he began a relationship with 26-year-old actress Katie Holmes. In 2006, a daughter appears, named Suri, and six months later they officially marry. As for the birth of his daughter, there were many rumors, as many considered Cruz fruitless. On this occasion, he even sued one of the journalists. In 2012, the couple divorced.

Roles and Fees

At the moment, Tom Cruise starred in 43 films and serials. Movies with Tom Cruise keep the viewer in suspense throughout the entire session. His first role was quite small, but he had a fairly well-known director - Zeffirelli. Later, he played high school student Joell in the film "Risky business", which was remembered by spectators and critics. On the set of the picture, Tom got into an affair with the main character, played by Rebecca de Mornay, but after a couple of months she left it. Many, as already mentioned, noted the convincing actor's play of Cruz in the movie "The Man of the Rain," although Oscar received his partner in the painting Hoffmann. But a year later for the role of a disabled veteran in the drama "Born on July 4" Cruise was awarded the Golden Globe - this is the second most important film award in America.

Tom Cruise, like any American boy, really wanted to play a superhero like James Bond. In the "Bond" he was not invited, but he played a similar role in the film "Mission Impossible." The actor not only starred in this picture as a CIA agent, but also became one of its producers. On the shooting was spent a huge amount of 80 million dollars, the tape has collected a lot of money in theaters both in America and in the world. This amount was approximately $ 457 million. Subsequently, 2, 3 and 4 parts of this film were shot. In 2015, plans to shoot 5 parts, in which Cruz, of course, will participate.

Best of the best

It is difficult to say which of the many paintings in which Cruz was shot, can be considered his luck, and what a failure. Popular site "Film Search" refers to the best films "The Man of the Rain." Tom seriously took up the preparation for this role and even worked for some time in the hospital for autists to be able to learn how to interact with such people. He managed to show the spiritual transformation of his hero: the cynical and calculating businessman Charlie towards the end of the film becomes more humane.

For filming in "The Last Samurai" Cruz spent about 2 years studying the culture of Japan, learned to handle the sword and taught the Japanese language. For the main role in this military drama Cruise was nominated for the Golden Globe, but critics chose Sean Pena. On Oscar this movie was not nominated at all.

His role in one of the most beautiful films about vampires, where he starred along with Pitt, Banderas and Kirsten Dunst, is interesting. Perhaps this is Cruz's only negative role.

He played a dramatic role in the film "Magnolia." His participation was highly appreciated by film critics, and Cruz was nominated for an Oscar for the role of the 2nd plan, but he never received the statuette, although he was awarded the third Golden Globe in his career.
