THE 10 BILLION DOLLAR MAN

It is now 40 years since his big screen debut and the charismatic actor is still at the top of his profession.

He’s also a box office king whose movies have made a total of just over $10 billion internationally.

His string of hits includes Rain Man, Cocktail, The Firm, Minority Report, Interview with the Vampire, A Few Good Men, the Mission Impossible films and many more.

The only thing which has eluded him so far in this stellar career is an Oscar. He’s been nominated for that ultimate award three times – for Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire and Magnolia – but few would count him out of getting a gold statue eventually.

For it seems there is no mission too impossible for this living legend who, even at 58, continues to do many of his own deathdefying stunts.

Proving his out of this world abilities, he will even go into orbit at the end of this year to film a movie aboard the International Space Station.

Before then he will be seen returning to the role which first made him a household name in the eagerly awaited sequel to Top Gun.

Tom Cruise is Hollywood’s top gun – a dynamic and daredevil talented hotshot who shows no signs of slowing down.
