From Scientology to his separation from Katie Holmes, the numerous headlines about the actor could hardly dampen his success.

His three children, Connor, Isabelle Jane and Suri, should also have taken care of things. Apparently the “Mission Impossible” drama was about Tom not only wanting a fee, but also wanting a share of the box office sales. That would of course make the flick a much more lucrative affair for him.

But of course the fans don’t have to do without their star for that reason alone. After all, the Hollywood superstar can be seen on the big screen with a certain regularity. “The Mummy” was released in cinemas on June 8, 2017 and has once again thrilled the fans.

From poor boy to Hollywood superstar

Tom Cruise is the prime example that even a boy from a poor background can have what it takes to become an absolute superstar. Many moves and an anything but stable, happy childhood could not deter Tom from his later successes. With “Top gun“Tom celebrated his first groundbreaking box office success in 1986 at the age of 24. The flick with the newcomer brought in a total of 318.68 million euros and made him an absolute superstar almost overnight. The actor was also extremely successful between 1992 and 1996, so that one almost had to be jealous of him. After all, he made five films in a row, each of which grossed more than 100 million US dollars at the box office in the United States. Nobody had done that before him. By the year 2000, the star was even nominated for an Oscar three times.

Until Tom Cruise got one Flop in his account had to post it, it should take some time. His least successful film to date was shown in theaters in 2010. “Knight and Day” was able to bring in just 18.75 million euros at the box office in the USA on the opening weekend of the film. No film with the Leading Man from Syracuse, New York State, had previously achieved such low sales. However, Tom Cruise recovered quickly from this crisis and is currently back on the road to success. His action and science fiction films are and will remain the most successful.

Tom Cruise in private

Only the great private happiness seems to be missing so far. The actor may have three adorable children, but he’s also divorced three times. The marriage with Mimi Rogers ended in 1990. The marriage bond with Nicole Kidman lasted the longest, namely from 1990 to 2001.

Marriage to Katie Holmes

Tom was married to Katie Holmes from 2006 to 2012. Especially during his marriage to Katie Holmes, Tom made as Member of Scientology always negative headlines. The readership of the “Los Angeles Daily News” even decided in December 2005 that Tom Cruise was the “most embarrassing star of the year”. In March 2006, the questionable award of the Golden Raspberry followed, which nobody in Hollywood is happy about. At some point it became too much for Katie Holmes. The couple separated in 2012 when their daughter Suri was six years old. His membership in Scientology is also incomprehensible to many. Even if things don’t go that way privately, when it comes to career Tom Cruise is right at the forefront of the best.
