Thomas Cruise Mapother IV (best known simply as Tom Cruise) was born on July 3rd, 1962 in Syracuse, New York. He grew up in near poverty with a strict Catholic upbringing, suffering physical abuse at the hands of his father. He spent part of his youth in Canada and the family moved frequently, resulting in him attending fifteen schools in fourteen years. When he was thirteen his mother left his father and moved the family back to America, where he wound up attending the St. Francis Seminary in Cincinnati, aspiring to become a priest. He left the seminary and moved to New York City to pursue an acting career at 18, rapidly rising to stardom in the early 1980s in a series of roles culminating with a lead in Top Gun in 1986 that made him a household name. In 1987 he married actress Miriam Rogers, who introduced him to the Church of Scientology. Cruise soon converted and eventually became their most visible and vocal celebrity spokesperson, even crediting it with helping him to overcome his dyslexia. In 1989 his portrayal of real-life Vietnam War veteran Ron Kovic in Born on the Fourth of July earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, as well as his first nominations for both BAFTA and Academy Awards in the same category. By then, however, he had also earned a reputation as an intense, sometimes volatile personality with a fanatical work ethic and frenzied acting choices, and he and Rogers divorced in 1990. He married actress Nicole Kidman that same year, adopting two children together and starring in multiple movies alongside her for the next decade until their divorce in 2001. In 1996 he starred in Mission Impossible, almost single-handedly turning it into one of the most lucrative film franchises in history and appearing in every sequel since then. His powerful performances in Jerry Maguire in 1997 and Magnolia in 1999 earned him two more Academy Award nominations, as well as his second and third Golden Globe wins. In 2006 he had a daughter with actress Katie Holmes, marrying her later that same year, but they divorced in 2012. Cruise had by then become one of the most bankable actors in Hollywood, and in an effort to protect his privacy and Scientology from growing criticism he also became one of the most litigious. From 2012 to 2018 every movie he starred in grossed over $100 million, a streak that won him an unbroken Guinness World Record. Today he is regarded as an important living Hollywood icon, having won an Honorary Palme d’Or as well as three Golden Raspberry Awards over the years, indicating his status as one of the most controversial yet consistently highest-paid actors in the world.
