Tom Cruise is a world-famous actor. He first came to the screen in the 1980s and his film career has gone from strength to strength. From hits like Top Gun and Born on the 4th of July, Tom went on to make the Mission Impossible films. Until recently, his personal life always seemed steady, with his 10-year marriage to Nicole Kidman. Their recent split, and Tom's liaison with Penelope Cruz, has meant a big shake up for Tom Cruise. But rest assured, his success in Hollywood is still a given.
