Tom Cruise






Read this biography of the film star Tom Cruise and decide whether the statements below are TRUE or FALSE.








Born in Syracuse, New York on 3rd July 1962, Tom Cruise had a difficult childhood. His parents divorced when he was twelve, and in the first eleven years of his life his family moved a total of seven times. He had problems at school, partly because he never stayed in one place long enough to make friends and partly because he suffered from dyslexia and found reading very hard. As a teenager he couldn't decide whether to become a priest or a wrestler, but at the age of eighteen he chose acting as a career.His first film Endless Love, in 1981, was followed quickly in the same year by Taps in which he had a strong supporting role as an angry young cadet. Over the next few years he made a name for himself in a series of fairly successful films often playing attractive 'boy-next-door' types. His big break came in 1986 in the hit Top Gun, where he played a rebellious fighter pilot with a killer smile.By the late 1980s magazines were calling him 'easily the most powerful star of his generation' because of his more serious roles in Rain Man, in 1988, opposite Dustin Hoffman, and Born on the Fourth July, which was made in the following year. For this film he received his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his powerful performance as the anti-war hero Ron Kovic. People who have worked with him say he's a perfectionist, preparing carefully for each role, and focusing 100 per cent whilst in the studio. Success continued in the 90s with films such as Mission Impossible and Eyes Wide Shut. He is now one of the few actors who received more than 20 million dollars a picture.Cruise is a very private man, who rarely gives interviews. His personal life has had its ups and downs. In 1987 he married actress Mimi Rogers who was several years older than him, but the marriage ended in divorce in 1990. In the same year he married his co-star from Days of Thunder, red-headed actress Nicole Kidman. Both of them are members of the Church of Scientology: but Cruise has always refused to answer questions about his religion.Whatever happens in his private life, people will remember him as one of the most charismatic actors of modern cinema and many will probably agree with People magazine in 1997 when they chose him as one of the fifty mo beautiful people in the world.
