Thomas Cruise Mapother IV is an American actor and producer. He has received various accolades for his work, including three Golden Globe Awards and three nominations for Academy Awards. He is one of the highest-paid actors in the world. My favorite actors of all time are Clint Eastwood and Sylvester Stallone, but when you think about who has been on top for so many years, it's Tom Cruise. He's simply the biggest movie star that ever lived. He was #1 in the 80's and he's #1 now, and he still makes incredibly great movies. Top Gun 2 is filming now. That's going to break records. Mission Impossible movies are fantastic. Gotta give it to him, even if he is a bit wacky in real life
No. Number-one jerk, maybe.
