In the US state of California there is a world famous "dream factory" called Hollywood. It is here that iconic actors and directors appear. Tom Cruise is one of the brightest representatives of the filmmakers' workshop, who made himself.
Childhood and youth
Long-term practice shows that children from large families with less effort adapt to any social environment. But in the case of Tom Cruise, there were some aggravating circumstances. A boy under the age of fourteen was short and dyslexic. Dyslexia is an age-related disease when a person inconsistently perceives the letters written in the text. Over time, Tom got rid of this deficiency, and in order to grow up, he began to actively engage in sports. For this, he chose classical wrestling, as well as played hockey and other team games.
The future actor and producer was born on July 3, 1962 in an ordinary American family. Tom turned out to be the third child of four. But the only boy. His father, an electrical engineer by profession, often changed jobs. Mother worked as a teacher-defectologist. Numerous transfers from one settlement to another imposed not the best habits on the boy's character. After many doubts and scandals, the parents parted. The father left in an unknown direction, and all the children stayed with their mother.
Creative career
At school, Tom spent more time studying on the sports field than in the reading room. But one day, when he was already 14 years old, he accidentally got to a theater studio rehearsal. He liked the setting and the stage surroundings. Regular studio sessions allowed Tom to gain some experience and learn the stage laws. He began to regularly attend auditions held by film company managers. In 1981, Cruise, after several tests, was approved for a supporting role in the film Endless Love.
Two years later, Tom got the main role in the youth comedy "Risky Business". The young actor, who has no special education, studied, as they say, "in the course of the play." From the very beginning, Cruise was distinguished by meticulousness and scrupulousness in the performance of any, even the most insignificant role. It was this approach that allowed him to achieve the heights of skill and respect for filmmakers. For almost 20 years, new series of the film Mission Impossible appeared on the screens, in which Cruise played one of the main roles.
Recognition and privacy
To date, Tom Cruise has won three Oscars and four Golden Globes. The actor continues to try his hand at directing. He is engaged in producing.
You can talk a lot about the actor's personal life or write a heartbreaking novel. Tom officially registered his marriages three times. As a rule, he married women from the movie scene. One of his wives introduced him to Scientology, a new religious movement.
Cruz takes care of all her children, both foster and family. At the same time, he does not stop his professional activities. He has a lot of things to do, opportunities and projects ahead of him.
