Tom Cruise's ex-wife - Katie Holmes
The last and also ex-wife of Tom Cruise is Katie Holmes, a famous American actress. The relationship between the actors began 13 years ago, and less than a year later their daughter Suri was born; the marriage took place only six months after the birth of their daughter.

In 2012, divorce proceedings began on the initiative of Katie Holmes, which gave the actress the right to full custody of their joint daughter. As it became known, Tom Cruise involved all his spouses in Scientology, but the latter returned to Catholicism after the divorce.
Radiation and persecution delusions: why Tom Cruise and Sarah Jessica Parker gave up smartphones
Tom Cruise
In November, Robbie upset fans hoping to get his cell number. It turned out that the singer threw away the device back in 2006, citing the fact that “he never liked phones.” Williams remained steadfast, even as smartphones and iPhones marched past him. “I use a computer,” says the musician. - But I don’t even have passwords for social networks. I would ruin my career if I wrote everything that came into my head. Assistants compose posts from words.”
The British have a dislike for smart machines in their blood; it is not for nothing that the Luddite movement—opponents of technological progress—was born in England at the beginning of the 19th century. Sir Elton John, who also does not recognize telephones, counts himself among them.
“The worst thing is that they have cameras,” he says. “Before, you could go as crazy as you wanted in public, which I did many times, and there was no evidence left. Now every appearance in the world turns into a forced photo shoot.”
Elton John
Sir Elton is not good with computers either - his more advanced husband David Furnish posts and Googles for him. If anyone thinks that Robbie and especially Sir Elton are indifferent to electronic devices due to their age, the example of 28-year-old Ed Sheeran calls this theory into question. In 2020, before leaving the virtual space for a detox, Ed wrote: “I realized that I was staring at the world through a screen instead of with my own eyes.”
A year later, he returned to social networks to promote a new album, but turned off his email. “Less stress,” Sheeran explained. “I don’t like waking up and immediately finding 50 messages from people asking me for something.” It’s much nicer to start the day with a cup of tea.”
Missed call
In the American Dream Factory, Quentin Tarantino is in the toughest opposition to gadgets. It is impossible to contact the director by writing via messenger or email. The surest way is to call him at home and leave a message on an old-fashioned answering machine. The use of smartphones on the sets of Tarantino films is strictly prohibited. He fires violators on the spot, which is why even stars prefer to hand over their cell phones to a special storage room.
Several years ago, Jennifer Aniston admitted that she would not be able to access the Internet even to save her own life. Over time, she learned to use her mobile phone and became so addicted that she had to fight her addiction at a “technology-free” yoga resort under the supervision of psychologists.
“When this thing came off my hand, I was relieved. I realized to what extent the phone took up time, sucked energy, gave rise to anxious thoughts and unnecessary feelings. I decided to strictly limit its use for the sake of full-fledged personal communication with loved ones,” says the actress.
Jennifer Aniston
In February of this year, Aniston announced that she had only one bad tech habit left to overcome: keeping her smartphone next to her bed at night.

Reasonable compromise
Tom Cruise follows the development of technology out of speculative interest. “I don’t have a mobile number or email,” says the actor. “I also don’t wear a watch, don’t wear jewelry, and don’t have a wallet.” The less unnecessary junk, the simpler life.”
The actor has always been a very reserved and secretive person
However, you can get to Tom through assistants who are equipped with the most modern means of communication. There were once rumors that the denial of gadgets was connected with the actor’s Scientology beliefs, but then he gave up an entire room in his new house for a high-tech flight simulator and completely confused everyone. In addition, Cruise is happy to buy, for example, tablets as gifts for people he likes.
Sarah Jessica Parker is the proud owner of at least three smartphones, but you still can't call her. “I’m depressed by the constant feeling that I have to not only answer letters, but also call people back,” explained the actress. — The phrase “Your voicemail is full” became my nightmare. I decided to turn off calls altogether and leave only mail, because letters can be answered anywhere without disturbing anyone.”
Sarah Jessica Parker
You may ask, why does she need three phones then? Because Sarah Jessica perceives them as a stylish accessory and designs cases. “Fashion and technology go hand in hand,” says the actress and designer. — Nowadays, a mobile case has become the most obvious reflection of personal style, hobbies, and interests. It can be decorative, strange, practical. In my opinion, there are never too many ways to express yourself!”

When: 1987
We actually advocate for a chaste length of shorts in the city - no higher than mid-thigh. But if you are lucky enough to be on vacation somewhere on the coast, then feel free to wear a shorter model. You can (and should) complete your look with a T-shirt and aviators. We will never know what shoes Tom Cruise chose in the summer of 1987, but we advise you to choose between leather sandals and high-top sneakers.
Cutting of Tom Cruise running from the actor's films
Top 7 longest distances that Cruise ran in his films:
- Mission Impossible 3 (2006) - 979 meters.
- Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (2011) - 934 meters.
- War of the Worlds (2005) - 534 meters

- Firm (1993) - 378 meters.
- Edge of Tomorrow (2014) - 324 meters.
- Jack Reacher 2: Never Go Back (2016) - 320 meters.
Tom Cruise is known for his running, but Brad Pitt is known for constantly... eating in the frame. And a similar study was conducted online, which proved that the more Pitt eats in a particular film, the more successful it is. This is how they do it??
Family and children of Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise's family and children are no less interesting than his acting activities, which is understandable for a person with his level of popularity.
The actor tried three times to start a family, but all three marriages ended in divorce, although the movie star still had children. In his second marriage to the famous Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman, the couple had children, not their own, but adopted ones - Isabella Jane and Connor Anthony.
Family and children of Tom Cruise
After an affair with Penelope Cruz, the actor falls in love with Katie Holmes. A beautiful and romantic love story ended with marriage and the birth of their daughter Suri. There are often rumors in the media that this is not Tom Cruise’s own daughter, but one has only to look at their stunning resemblance, and immediately all doubts about their relationship disappear.
The actor maintains relationships with all three children and tries to participate in their lives as much as possible.
Romance with Nicole Kidman
Perhaps the “frozen” marriage of Cruise and Rogers would have lasted a couple more years if Tom had not met a beautiful actress from Australia. Nicole Kidman at that time was not particularly well-known in Hollywood, although she had already starred in two dozen films and TV series in her country.
The girl’s popularity was brought to her by the six-episode film “Bangkok Hilton,” which was also shown in the USA.
Tom Cruise met Nicole Kidman on the set of the action movie “Days of Thunder,” where they had to star as lovers. Soon the on-screen romance grew into a deep feeling. Nicole not only adored Tom, but also respected him as a successful actor. He gave her expensive gifts and even named his first personal plane after the girl.
Tom Cruise's daughter - Isabella Jane Cruise
Tom Cruise's adopted daughter, Isabella Jane Cruise, was adopted first, and three years later she had a brother, Connor.
Today the girl is 25 years old, she is already married and lives with her husband in a modest house in the London area. Like her brother, the girl does not want to take advantage of the successes of her adoptive parents, achieving everything in life herself. Isabella has been interested in drawing since childhood, and this year she decided to open her own clothing line. It will be sold via the website. According to the media, the adopted daughter of Kidman and Cruise just wants to prove that she can be very successful in her own right and is not going to use the names of her parents to achieve her goals.

Interestingly, after the divorce, the children lived with Tom Cruise, which is why Isabella Jane had a long-term resentment towards Nicole Kidman.
Tom Cruise workouts
Today Tom Cruise is over 50, but he remains a sought-after actor due to his physical fitness. He starred in such box office films as Oblivion, Operation Valkyrie, Minority Report, The Last Samurai, Interview with the Vampire and Mission: Impossible.
In addition, he is considered a real sex symbol of Hollywood, not only for his physique, but also for his natural masculinity. Even at a young age, he played superheroes and tough guys, which required keeping himself in shape.
Although he is 170 centimeters tall, he did not need much mass to keep his body athletic. On the contrary, a person who gains a lot of muscle becomes more massive.
After 40 years, like most men, Tom Cruise began to noticeably gain weight, but a special diet and training plan developed by David Beckham’s personal trainer helped him get rid of those extra pounds.
At first, the actor’s daily diet contained only 1,200 calories, which he received from fish and grilled chicken, as well as lettuce, boiled vegetables and several fruits. In just a month and a half, he was able to lose those five extra pounds that he had gained over five years.
Note that such a diet can be called the lower limit of physical necessity, so you need to be very careful with it. In addition to dietary restrictions, the actor also engaged in strength training and fencing, after which he switched to jogging. This process should be followed under the supervision of a nutritionist and personal trainer.
In some cases, jogging can be replaced with regular running or some other cardio exercise. For example, cycling would be a good option, as it keeps you fit and in good shape. The best are Corrado bicycles, which can be purchased at https://ek.ua/list/161/corrado/. The company guarantees the reliability of this sports equipment and product quality.
Returning to Tom Cruise's exercises, we also need to warn you that the actor goes in for sports every day, dividing all exercises into morning and evening. At first, he does strength training, working out with weights - pull-ups, push-ups, hanging leg raises. And in the evening he runs four kilometers at a slow pace. In addition, he is a fan of tennis, swimming, and mountain hiking, which burn fat very effectively.
For the episodes in which he plays without a T-shirt (the films “Rock of Ages” and “Jack Reacher”) Cruise worked very actively on his own. Due to lack of time, he needed to study at night.
Usually, Tom Cruise not only approaches the work process responsibly, but also devotes himself completely to the task - the actor could train for six hours so that his activities look completely authentic on the screen.
If we talk about his short stature and tendency to be overweight - fat gain and muscle gain, Tom is constantly on a strict diet. It is clear that this is no longer the period when he had to live on 1200 calories, but he always continues to control nutrients.
To ensure that the body is always athletic, Tok Cruise does not disdain cardio training and abdominal work. Although he himself believes that ideal abs can be achieved not in the gym, but in the kitchen.

Please note:
Full name: Thomas Cruise Mapother IV.
Tom Cruise has a terrible character, but that's not why those around him love him. A liar, a talker, a laugher - this is how you can describe him in a few words. Cruz was born on July 3, 1962 in Syracuse, New York. “He was an amazing child,” one of the neighbors later recalled. “He came to me all the time, hung out in the garage, asking for advice. Perhaps the guy missed his father. In general, Tommy and I became good friends. We sat together for hours, chatting about this and that..."
It would still be “not enough”... After all, Tom’s father left his wife with several children, and Tom, at the age of 13, turned out to be the only breadwinner, the only man. A real man! For he used every minute to help his mother feed her family. The poverty in which Tom and his sisters spent their childhood was terrifying, painfully humiliating. All the more valuable was the creative spirit with which the members of this family were endowed. So, for lack of money for Christmas gifts, little Tom, his mother and sisters exchanged poems that they wrote for each other.
There was a time in Cruise's life when he seriously thought about the role of a priest. “But I left the seminary because in the end I would have to take a vow of celibacy,” Tom joked at the time. His destiny included sports and other great hobbies. Moreover, being a gifted person, he could succeed in any of the areas.
Versatility is Tom's main characteristic. What he needed to learn was to concentrate, but as a child, Cruz did not know that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADD and ADHD ) was what so prevented him in his youth from not being scattered and not attaching importance to the impressions of his youth, which have an impact on the rest of your life.
Tom's mother (a teacher and actress) advised him to try himself in acting. And even then for those reasons, to save my son from going to college. Study? For Tom Cruise, the thought of traditional forms of education was unbearable. Problems with assimilation of information, or in other words dyslexia , Tom felt this at the very first stage of training. The mother loved Tom and knew that he bore all the problems of dyslexia, but this did not relieve her of difficult thoughts. The teachers at school chose to distance themselves from this strange boy (dyslexic) who could not learn to read. Not to mention his classmates, who all thought Tom was stupid. The situation was aggravated by the fact that the family was forced to frequently move from place to place. And every year entering a new school turned into a nightmare for Tom. First, the teacher asked the new student to read something, followed by an explosion of laughter, then one of his classmates called the boy a fool, which resulted in a fight. There were endless extracurricular activities, but Tom did not see the difference between letters, did not know how to form words from them, did not understand the meaning of what he read, i.e. typical dyslexia and dysgraphia.

But nature endowed Cruise not only with dyslexia, but also with acting talent, which helped him gain fans all over the world.
Tom Cruise is sometimes called "the biggest star to emerge in the 1980s" among male actors. Tom Cruise has become one of those who is able to attract the viewer by the very fact of his participation in the film. His youthful charm and angelic, dazzling smile won him fans all over the world, especially among young people. Cruise has his own image. He plays persistent, purposeful guys who know what it feels like to work together. Work, labor - this is the meaning of life for his heroes. Sometimes they are capable of behaving frivolously and losing their heads, but underneath the ostentatious bravado hides a tender, easily vulnerable soul. Despite their outward self-confidence, they turn out to be confused, sometimes naive boys.
The type he created turned out to be very attractive to young people, which made Tom Cruise a real idol of the decade. He is charming, and girls like it, he is “their guy,” and this attracts boys. At the same time, he does not have an overly bright personality or incomparable beauty, so you can envy him kindly, without feeling any malice or hatred. Tom Cruise is just like everyone else, an ordinary guy, just a little luckier.
Contact with cinema began with the film “Endless Love” (1981) dir. F. Zeffirelli, which was quickly followed by Tap Dance (1981), which discovered new young actors and ushered in another wave of films about teenagers and for teenagers. Hollywood once again understood the importance of young viewers and began filming specifically for them.
Tom Cruise in 1983 plays the main role in "Risky Business", which became the highest-grossing film of the year; such a fun fairy tale with a good ending, where the hero is allowed to do whatever he pleases with impunity, could not help but attract the attention of viewers. Tom Cruise has now firmly taken his place among the most promising and charming young actors in America. Later he would play in another “fairy tale” - the film “Cocktail” (1988). Following several unnoticed films, the film “The Ultimate Weapon” (1986) was released, grossing $350 million. At the center of the film is a young daredevil pilot who, in his free time from flying, races along the highway on a powerful motorcycle, plays volleyball on the beach, has fun with friends, and loves girls.
Tom Cruise strives to be the center of attention, and with poor direction, this sometimes comes at the expense of his partners. When the director skillfully directs him, the result is such a successful work as in “The Color of Money.” Tom Cruise at the beginning of his career starred in films that did not require great acting skills: everything was decided by his appearance and youthful enthusiasm. “Rain Man” (1988) was in a sense a turning point for him, requiring the actor to demonstrate professional qualities, because here the famous Dustin Hoffman became his partner, and the script required showing the psychological development of the character. Tom Cruise remains an actor whom young audiences look forward to meeting. Box office receipts from his last four films totaled $1 billion 35 million. As a performer, he does not stand still. Certain stages can be traced in his evolution: study (“Risky Business”), absorption of the experience of his elders (working with Newman in “The Color of Money”), a course on morality and ethics taught by Dustin Hoffman (“Rain Man”), experience of suffering and grief (“ Born on the 4th of July.")
Despite his popularity, the young prince of the screen did not lose his head from success. Material well-being is not the main thing for him. For a long time he refused limousines, security, and luxurious clothes. (True, lately he still has to resort to the services of bodyguards.) The girls proclaimed Cruise the sexiest actor. And he has his own ideal of a woman: she should be brilliant, always kind, energetic, and inventive.

Don't hide your love for prints

When: 1985
Tom Cruise has always known how to strike a balance between the ordinary and the extravagant. If you wear a shirt with a bright print, then only pair it with a formal suit and your favorite dark glasses (don’t forget to whom we owe the popularity of aviators). The final touch before a date or important meeting is to practice the same confident gait and calm facial expression at home in front of the mirror.
