We know what you're thinking - this is witchcraft. Tom Cruise is currently fifty-seven years old, and he looks exactly the same as he did here if you ignore the haircut. Apparently, he went to school looking 30 years old, and has spent the last forty years looking 30 years old. Even back then he was showbiz - he missed his high school graduation ceremony because he was rehearsing for a production of 'Godspell.' There has never been a time in Cruise's life when he wasn't a performer.
Whether it's bouncing around on a sofa in front of Oprah Winfrey or fending off questions about his role in the Scientology religion, Cruise is a master of attracting media attention. The publicity has been helpful though; whenever he makes a new 'Mission Impossible' movie, people come to see it in their droves. He'll shortly be stepping back into his famous 'Top Gun' role, despite the fact he's now in his 50s. There's simply no stopping him.
