tom cruise biografia en ingles

Actor Tom Cruise is the star of several box-office hits, including Risky Business , A Few Good Men , The Firm , Jerry Maguire , and the Mission: Impossible franchise.

Who Is Tom Cruise?

Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, better known as Tom Cruise, was born on July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, New York, to Mary and Thomas Mapother. Cruise's mother was an amateur actress and schoolteacher, and his father was an electrical engineer. His family moved around a great deal when Cruise was a child to accommodate his father's career.

Cruise's parents divorced when he was 11, and the children moved with their mother to Louisville, Kentucky, and then to Glen Ridge, New Jersey, after she remarried. Like his mother and three sisters, Cruise suffered from dyslexia, which made academic success difficult for him. He excelled in athletics, however, and considered pursuing a career in professional wrestling until a knee injury sidelined him during high school.

At age 14, Cruise enrolled in a Franciscan seminary with thoughts of becoming a priest, but he left after a year. When he was 16, a teacher encouraged him to participate in the school's production of the musical Guys and Dolls . After Cruise won the lead of Nathan Detroit, he found himself surprisingly at home on the stage, and a career was born.

'Taps,' 'The Outsiders'

Cruise set a 10-year deadline for himself in which to build an acting career. He left school and moved to New York City, struggling through audition after audition before landing an appearance in 1981's Endless Love , starring Brooke Shields. Around this same time, he snagged a small role in the military school drama Taps (1981), co-starring Sean Penn .

His role in Taps was upgraded after director Harold Becker saw Cruise's potential, and his performance caught the attention of a number of critics and filmmakers. In 1983, Cruise appeared in Francis Ford Coppola 's The Outsiders , which also starred Emilio Estevez , Matt Dillon and Rob Lowe —all prominent members of a group of young actors the entertainment press dubbed the "Brat Pack." The film was not well received, but it allowed Cruise to work with an acclaimed director on a high-profile project.

'Risky Business'

His next film, Risky Business (1983), grossed $65 million. It also made Cruise a highly recognizable actor — thanks in no small part to a memorable scene of the young star dancing in his underwear.

In 1986, after a two-year hiatus, the budding actor released the big-budget fantasy film Legend , which did poorly at the box office. That same year, however, Cruise's A-list status was confirmed with the release of Top Gun , which co-starred Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan . The testosterone-fueled action-romance, set against the backdrop of an elite naval flight school, became the highest-grossing film of 1986.

'The Color of Money,' 'Rain Man' and 'Born on the Fourth of July'

Cruise followed the tremendous success of Top Gun with a string of both critically acclaimed and commercially successful films. He first starred in The Color of Money (1986) with co-star Paul Newman , and then went on to work with Dustin Hoffman on Rain Man (1988). Cruise's next role, as Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic in the biopic Born on the Fourth of July (1989), earned him an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe for Best Actor.

'A Few Good Men,' 'The Firm' and 'Interview with a Vampire'

In 1992, Cruise proved once more that he could hold his own opposite a screen legend when he co-starred with Jack Nicholson in the military courtroom drama A Few Good Men . The film grossed more than $15 million its first weekend and earned Cruise a Golden Globe nomination. He continued to demonstrate his success as a leading man with The Firm (1993) and Interview with a Vampire (1994), which co-starred Brad Pitt.

'Mission: Impossible,' 'Jerry McGuire'

Next, Cruise hit the big screen with two huge hits—the $64 million blockbuster Mission: Impossible (1996), which the star also produced, and the highly acclaimed Jerry McGuire (1996), directed by Cameron Crowe. For the latter, Cruise earned a second Academy Award nomination and Golden Globe for Best Actor.

'Eyes Wide Shut,' 'Magnolia'

Cruise and then-wife Kidman spent much of 1997 and 1998 in England shooting Eyes Wide Shut , an erotic thriller that would be director Stanley Kubrick 's final film. The movie came out in the summer of 1999 to mixed reviews, but that year Cruise enjoyed greater success with the release of Magnolia . His performance as a self-confident sex guru in the ensemble film earned him another Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

'Vanilla Sky,' 'The Last Samurai'

Cruise then starred in the long-awaited smash hit Mission: Impossible 2 in 2000, alongside Anthony Hopkins , Thandie Newton and Ving Rhames. In 2002, he starred in Vanilla Sky , his second collaboration with Crowe, as well as Steven Spielberg 's Minority Report . The following year, Cruise traveled to Australia to shoot the $100 million war epic The Last Samurai, which earned him another Golden Globe nomination.

'War of the Worlds'

Cruise proved he remained a top draw by starring in the Spielberg-directed remake of the science-fiction classic War of the Worlds (2005), which grossed more than $230 million at the box office.

His next effort, Mission: Impossible 3 (2006), also scored well with audiences. However, Cruise was faced with a professional setback in August when Paramount Pictures ended its 14-year relationship with the actor. The company's chairman cited Cruise's erratic behavior and controversial views as the reason for the split, though industry experts noted that Paramount more likely ended the partnership over Cruise's high earnings from the Mission: Impossible franchise.

Cruise quickly rebounded and on November 2, 2006, he announced his new partnership with film executive Paula Wagner and the United Artists film studio. Their first production as a team, the political drama Lions for Lambs (2007), proved a commercial disappointment despite a strong cast that included Meryl Streep and Robert Redford .

'Tropic Thunder'

Taking a break from weighty material, Cruise delighted audiences with his performance in the comedy Tropic Thunder (2008). Despite his relatively small role in a movie that featured Robert Downey Jr. and Ben Stiller , Cruise stood out by obscuring his trademark good looks to play a balding, obese movie studio executive.

'Valkyrie,' 'Rock of Ages'

In December 2008, Cruise released his second project through United Artists. The film, Valkyrie , was a World War II drama about a plot to assassinate German leader Adolf Hitler . Cruise starred as a German army officer who became involved in the conspiracy.

Cruise returned to one of his most popular franchises in 2011 with Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol . Breaking into new territory, he then starred in the 2012 musical Rock of Ages . Although Cruise received some positive reviews for his performance as a rock star, the movie failed to attract much of an audience.

'Jack Reacher,' 'Edge of Tomorrow'

Returning to his mainstream action roots, Cruise starred in the 2012 crime drama Jack Reacher , based on a book by Lee Child. He then headlined a pair of science-fiction adventures, Oblivion (2013) and Edge of Tomorrow (2014). Showing no signs of slowing down, the veteran actor in 2015 delivered his usual high-energy performance for the fifth installment of his blockbuster franchise, Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation .

Latest Movies and Familiar Franchises

In 2016, Cruise reprised the role of Jack Reacher for Never Go Back . He then headlined a reboot of The Mummy (2017), which performed respectably at the box office but was savaged by critics, before earning better reviews later that year for the crime thriller American Made .

2018 brought a return to familiar territory for Cruise, who starred in Mission Impossible —Fallout that summer. Prior to its release, he tweeted a photo to mark day 1 of production on the long-awaited sequel Top Gun: Maverick , scheduled for a June 2020 release.

Scientology and Personal Life

Cruise married actress Mimi Rogers in 1987. It was through Rogers that the actor became a student of Scientology, the religion founded by writer L. Ron Hubbard. Cruise credited the church with curing his dyslexia, and he soon became one of its leading proponents. However, while his spiritual life flourished, his marriage to Rogers ended in 1990. That same year, Cruise made the racecar drama Days of Thunder alongside Kidman. Though the movie was unpopular among critics and fans alike, the two lead actors had real chemistry. On Christmas Eve 1990, after a brief courtship, Cruise and Kidman married in Telluride, Colorado.

Divorce from Kidman

For much of the 1990s, Cruise and Kidman found themselves fiercely defending the happiness and legitimacy of their marriage. They filed two different lawsuits against tabloid publications for stories they considered libelous. In each case, the couple received a published retraction and apology, along with a large monetary settlement which they donated to charity. The couple has two children, Isabella and Connor.

On February 5, 2001, Cruise and Kidman announced their separation after 11 years of marriage. The couple cited the difficulties involved with two acting careers and the amount of time spent apart while working. Following the divorce, Cruise briefly dated his Vanilla Sky co-star Penelope Cruz , followed by a much-publicized relationship with actress Katie Holmes. A month after his ties to Holmes became public, Cruise professed his love for the actress in a now-famous appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, during which he jumped on Winfrey's sofa, shouting "Yes!"

Marriage to Katie Holmes

In June 2005, after a two-month courtship, Cruise proposed to Holmes in a restaurant at the top of the Eiffel tower. In October, they announced that they were expecting their first child together. The hasty proposal and surprise pregnancy quickly became tabloid gossip. But Cruise made even bigger headlines that year as an outspoken advocate for Scientology. He openly criticized former co-star Brooke Shields for using anti-depressants during her recovery from postpartum depression. He also denounced psychiatry and modern medicine, claiming Scientology held the key to true healing. Cruise's statements led to a heated argument with news anchor Matt Lauer on The Today Show in June 2005, for which Cruise later apologized.

In 2006, Cruise and Holmes welcomed daughter Suri into the world. That year, they were married in an Italian castle, with celebrities Will Smith , Jada Pinkett Smith , Jennifer Lopez and Victoria and David Beckham among those in attendance. However, the storybook romance wouldn't last, and in June 2012, the couple announced their separation.

Tom's most famous credits include, top gun, mission: impossible and jerry maguire.

Who is Tom Cruise?

Tom Cruise is a Hollywood heavyweight whose hugely successful career in acting has made him one of the most famous faces on the planet. His list of acting credits is extensive and some of his best-known titles include Top Gun, Mission: Impossible , A Few Good Men , Vanilla Sky, Jerry Maguire,  and Born on the Fourth of July – the latter of which earned him his first Oscar nomination. 

Tom Cruise's early life and career

Born Thomas Mapother Cruise IV on July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, upstate New York, Tom was just 12 years old when his alcoholic father walked out on mother Mary Lee, and sisters Marian, Lee Anne, and Cass. Afterward, times were tough, and the four children did chores such as mowing their neighbors' lawns to help with the housekeeping. One Christmas the family eschewed presents and instead read out poems they had written for each other. The fledgling actor landed his first part in a Franco Zeffirelli movie, Endless Love and, within five years thanks to roles in teen-friendly movies such as The Outsiders, Risky Business and Top Gun was at the top of every director's wish list. One advantage of signing up the Mission Impossible star is the fact that the actor, who is a big fan of adrenaline sports - enjoys skydiving and rock climbing as well as piloting his own planes and does many of the stunts in his films himself. 

But Tom, who has a reputation for the level of involvement he seeks, always wanted more than just an acting career. Box office winners such as The Color Of Money, Rain Man and Born On The Fourth Of July boosted his pay to around $15 million a picture, making him one of Tinseltown's biggest earners. He became one of the few stars who could ask for a share of the profits and get it. For Mission: Impossible 2 the 5ft 7in star earned $20 million, plus 30 per cent of the film"s gross, which worked out at $75 million a far cry from the $850 he earned for his role in Taps. A devout Scientologist, Tom has been married three times. In May 1987 he wed actress Mimi Rogers, then on Christmas Eve 1990, in Colorado, he plighted his troth a second time, to Nicole Kidman , whom he had met on the set of Days Of Thunder.  

"Nicole and I are forever. She is everything I have always looked for in a woman. Since we married ten years ago we've stayed totally in love with each other and haven't spent more than ten days apart," declared the actor in 2000. Six months later, however, came the shocking news that he and Nicole were to part. The couple, who have two adopted children, Isabella and Conor, were divorced in 2001. Tom went on to date Penelope Cruz , his sultry Spanish costar in Vanilla Sky. But although the pair seemed very much in love, the constant demands of their careers took their toll and in January 2004 they decided to go their separate ways. 

In 2005, Tom was briefly linked to actress Sofia Vergara, but in late April of that year the ultra-private actor took the world by surprise with an unexpected announcement: he was madly in love with Dawson's Creek star Katie Holmes, 16 years his junior. And just six weeks later, there was more news. "I proposed to her," he confirmed at a Paris press conference. "It was early this morning at the Eiffel Tower, so I haven't slept at all." The bombshells didn't stop there. In October 2005 the couple announced they were expecting their first child together, and on April 18, 2006, daughter Suri - whose name means "princess" - arrived. 

Their marriage the following November at the 15th-century Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Italy was witnessed by the Hollywood glitterati. Sadly, love didn't last this time either for the screen hero. In a shock move, Kate, as he always called her, filed for divorce on June 29, 2012. Not that the turmoil in his life affected his position at the top of the Tinseltown firmament. Forbes announced that Tom was still the world's most bankable star, having earned $75 million in the 12 months before his divorce. 

Tom's later career

At age 60, Tom is showing no sign of slowing down. The year 2022 was a huge year for the actor as it saw the Hollywood legend reprise his role as Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell in the blockbuster smash, Top Gun: Maverick.

(Thomas Cruise Mapother IV; Syracuse, Nueva York, 1962) Actor estadounidense, uno de los más sólidos valores de la hornada de jóvenes intérpretes que inició su trayectoria en torno a la década de los 80. Tom Cruise no tuvo una infancia fácil: padecía dislexia y también dejaron su huella en él los continuos desplazamientos de su familia, dividida y nómada, de un lado a otro de Estados Unidos y Canadá. Vivió breves temporadas en Louisville, Ottawa y Cincinnati, donde estuvo interno en un convento franciscano. Por fin se fue a vivir con su madre, que se había vuelto a casar, y empezó a actuar en el instituto después de que una herida en la rodilla lo obligara a dejar el equipo escolar de boxeo.

Ansioso de iniciar la carrera de actor, en 1980 se fue a Nueva York, donde se ganó la vida dedicándose a la limpieza de los restaurantes en la zona de los teatros y como trabajador de mantenimiento. Al mismo tiempo acudía de forma constante a las audiciones donde se procedía a la selección de actores para los nuevos proyectos y asistía a cursos de formación interpretativa. Fue Francis Ford Coppola quien, tras verlo en sus primeras películas, entendió que podía ser un valor a tener en cuenta, y lo eligió para que participase en el film Rebeldes (1982), donde Tom Cruise compartió cabecera de reparto con ese grupo de jóvenes que sería llamado el brat pack , entre los cuales se hallaban Emilio Estévez, Matt Damon, C. Thomas Howell, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze y Ralph Macchio.

Indudablemente, su buena presencia física era un factor decisivo para impulsar en un primer momento su carrera cinematográfica. Así, tras la comedia adolescente Risky bussines (1983), de Paul Brickman, y el incomprendido cuento fantástico Legend (1985), de Ridley Scott, Tom Cruise acabó convertido en estrella gracias a Top Gun, ídolos del aire (1986), de Tony Scott. En este film, donde formaba pareja con Val Kilmer, Tom Cruise encarnó el modelo de joven seductor, rebelde y desdeñoso que hizo de él un mito sexual de los ochenta.

No obstante, la intención de Cruise no era limitar su carrera a productos exclusivamente comerciales, y se arriesgó a protagonizar dos producciones donde tuvo que demostrar sus dotes interpretativas: El color del dinero (1986), de Martin Scorsese, que coprotagonizó con un veterano Paul Newman , y Rain man (1988), de Barry Levinson, en que también compartió protagonismo con un actor de culto: Dustin Hoffman . Superando las iniciales suspicacias de crítica y público, el actor consiguió un nuevo enfoque en su trayectoria profesional. Es más, directores que, en otro tiempo, no hubieran tenido en cuenta su nombre en los repartos, contaron a partir de entonces con él en proyectos nada acomodaticios. De este modo, obtuvo una candidatura al Oscar por Nacido el 4 de julio (1989), de Oliver Stone, film donde Tom Cruise interpreta a Ron Kovic, un soldado que, tras ser herido de bala en Vietnam, queda parapléjico y se convierte en un convencido activista político.

Por esas fechas la prensa aireó sus aficiones y debilidades. Paul Newman, compañero suyo en El color del dinero , le contagió su afición por los coches de carreras. Los medios también destacaron su encendida defensa de la secta de la Cienciología, razón por la que Tom Cruise sufriría ciertos problemas en aquellos países donde aquella organización no era legal. Tras divorciarse de la actriz Mimi Rogers, Tom Cruise contrajo matrimonio con Nicole Kidman , a quien conoció durante el rodaje de Días de trueno (1990), de Tony Scott. Con ella protagonizaría el polémico filme Eyes wide shut (1999), de Stanley Kubrick , último en la carrera del perfeccionista director.

Poco más de un año después del estreno de la película, irónicamente relacionada con las tensiones sexuales del matrimonio, la pareja anunció su separación, poniendo fin a once años de relación. La española Penélope Cruz (con quien compartió cartel en Vanilla Sky , el fallido remake de la cinta de Alejandro Amenábar Abre los ojos ) se convirtió en la nueva pareja sentimental de Tom Cruise.

Pese a su apuesta por producciones de prestigio, Cruise no descuidó su faceta más comercial y rodó títulos de consumo familiar como Misión imposible (1996), de Brian De Palma. Su continuación, Misión imposible II (1999), de John Woo, dio paso a una de las sagas de mayor éxito en los últimos tiempos; en 2018 se estrenó la sexta entrega. La cosecha cinematográfica de Tom Cruise era óptima, como lo fueron asimismo las consecuencias financieras de esa buena fortuna en el cine. El nombre del actor pronto figuró entre los tres más taquilleros de la industria, de modo que, cada vez que firmaba un contrato, el presupuesto de la película experimentaba un aumento millonario, justificado por la sencilla razón de que Tom Cruise seguía atrayendo a fervientes admiradores que, más allá de sus virtudes como intérprete, valoraban su condición de estrella indiscutida.

Syracuse, Nueva York, EEUU

Nacido como Thomas Mapother IV Cruise el 3 de julio de 1962, en Syracuse, Nueva York, Tom tan solo tenía 12 años cuando su padre, un ingeniero electrónico que tenía serios problemas con la bebida abandonó a su madre Mary Lee , y a sus tres hermanas Mary Lee, Marian y Cass, convirtiéndose así en el ‘hombre de la familia’.

Una infancia difícil

Comenzó entonces una etapa difícil para la familia Cruise, en la que los cuatro niños se vieron obligados a realizar diferentes tareas en beneficio de sus vecinos , como cortar el césped o regar el jardín para sacarse algo de dinerito. Las primeras navidades sin su padre fueron bastante tristes y en vez de hacerse regalos, cada uno de ellos escribió un poema dedicado al otro, un regalo que jamás olvidarán.

Pocos años después y tras terminar sus estudios, Cruise se trasladó a California, donde comenzaría a dar sus primeros pasos en el cine. Su primera película vino de la mano de Franco Zeffirelli, Amor sin fin , que le daría el empujón necesario para protagonizar en el cine sus inolvidables papeles como adolescent e The Outsiders, Risky Business y Top Gun , convirtiéndose así en una de las primeras opciones para numerosos directores de renombre, que vieron en este joven talento de apenas 1,70 de estatura, una estrella por explotar.

Amante del riesgo

Una de las grandes ventajas de rodar con Tom Cruise, entre otras virtudes, es su gran pasión por los deportes que generan adrenalina, le gusta el paracaidismo, la escalada, pilota su propio avión, y s iempre que puede y se lo permiten rueda el mismo las escenas de riesgo sin necesidad de dobles.

Pero Tom, que siempre se ha exigido mucho a lo largo de su trayectoria, siempre quiso ser mucho más que un simple actor, q uiso ser el mejor de la gran pantalla . Convirtió algunas de sus películas en un auténticos récord de taquilla como El color del dinero , Rain Man o Nacido el 4 de julio y su caché aumentó en más de 11 millones de euros. Se convirtió en una de las pocas estrellas a la que se le podía exigir una serie de beneficios y conseguirlos con creces. En Misión: Imposible II, el actor logró una recaudación de 15 millones de euros, casi el 30 por ciento más del dinero que se invirtió en el filme.

Tom Cruise y Nicole Kidman

Fiel seguidor y defensor de la Cienciología, Tom ha estado casado tres veces. En mayo de 1987 se casó con la actriz Mimi Rogers, de la que se divorciaría en 1990. Ese mismo año, y más concretamente el día de Nochebuena, Tom contraería matrimonio con una de las actrices más bellas de Hollywood, Nicole Kidman, a quien había conocido en el rodaje de Días de Trueno.

"Nicole y yo estaremos juntos para siempre. Ella tiene todo lo que he buscado siempre en una mujer. Desde que nos casamos hace diez años seguimos enamorados y nos hemos pasado más de diez días separados” declaró el actor en el año 2000. Seis meses después, sin embargo, llegó la terrible noticia, él y Nicole ponían punto final a su idílico matrimonio. La pareja, que tiene dos hijos adoptivos en común, Isabella y Conor , se divorciaron en 2001, acabando así con una historia de amor de 11 años.

Su historia de amor con Penélope Cruz

Tom intentó olvidar su fracaso matrimonial en los brazos de nuestra actriz más internacional, Penélope Cruz, a la que conoció en el rodaje de Vanilla Sky, y con la que comenzó un apasionado romance que dio la vuelta al mundo. Y aunque la pareja de actores parecía muy enamorada, sus incompatibles agendas tuvieron un precio y en enero de 2004 decidieron ir por caminos diferentes.

Las otras parejas de Tom Cruise

En 2005 a Tom se le vinculó sentimentalmente con la actriz Sofía Vergara , algo que duró un suspiro pues a finales de abril de ese mismo año el actor sorprendió anunciando que estaba locamente enamorado de la estrella de Dawson Crece , Katie Holmes, 16 años menor que él. Tan sólo seis semanas después, Tom decidió dar un paso decisivo en su vida y le propuso matrimonio. "Le pedí que se casara conmigo en la Torre Eiffel, y durante esa noche no dormí nada”.

Suri, la hija pequeña de Tom

Pero antes de darse el ‘sí quiero’ y tras pasear su amor por las alfombras rojas, en octubre de 2005 Tom Cruise y Katie Holmes anunciaron que estaban esperando su primer hijo juntos , una niña que llegaría al mundo el 18 de abril y que recibiría el nombre de Suri , cuyo significado es “princesa”.

Boda a la italiana

Con el nuevo integrante de la familia en casa, Tom y Katie se pusieron a planear su enlace, que si se nos permite decir, fue más que de cuento de hadas. La pareja contrajo matrimonio el 18 de noviembre de 2006 en uno de los más bellos castillos medievales de Italia, el castillo Odescalchi, en Bracciano, a cuarenta kilómetros de la capital italiana, bajo el rito de la Cienciología.

Tres días de fiesta precedieron una boda en la que todo el pueblo de la pequeña localidad de Bracciano se volcó con la pareja., así como sus numerosos invitados, entre los que figuraban Victoria Beckham, Jennifer López y Marc Anthony, Jim Carrey o Roberta Armani , encargada de la organización del enlace. Lamentablemente, en esta ocasión tampoco hubo un “felices para siempre” y Kate decidió solicitar el divorcio el 29 de junio de 2012.

Y aunque su vida personal se desmoronaba, su vida profesional ni se tambaleaba siendo la estrella más rentable del mundo, habiendo ganado 75 millones de euros los 12 meses anteriores a su divorcio.

Su última relación conocida

Después de una considerable pausa en su agenda de citas, que no en la profesional donde siguió rodando películas como Oblivion, Al filo del mañana, Misión Imposible: Nación secreta, Jack Reacher: Nunca vuelvas atrás , La Momia o y Top Gun: Maverick, la secuela de la cinta de 1986, Cruise volvió a encontrar el amor en 2020 con su coprotagonista de Misión Imposible , Hayley Atwell, aunque ninguno de los dos hizo pública su relación antes de que llegara a su fin en mayo de 2023.

Cruise ha logrado con el pasado de los años, ya ha pasado los 60, algo que muchos actores no han conseguido, no perder ni un ápice de su atractivo ni de su caché sino todo lo contrario, de hecho ha logrado embolsarse aproximadamente más de 50 millones de euros al año durante la última década, logrando así un patrimonio estimado en alrededor de 600 millones , en donde se incluye algunas de las residencias más exclusivas de Estados Unidos.

Admirador de Paul Newman, Tom, quien tiene tres Globos de Oro pera para quien conseguir un Oscar parece “misión imposible” no ha mostrado ningún signo de desaceleración y a medida que pasa el tiempo su leyenda se va haciendo cada vez más grande.
