1. If you’ve ever observed a little similarity between Tom Cruise and Aladdin from the Disney movie of a similar name, it’s probable that Disney artists borrowed characteristics from Cruise’s hair and face to make the character more endearing. Yes, it is correct!
2. Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes are Cruise’s 3 ex-wives. They all were 33 years old at the time of the breakup, which was a bizarre occurrence.
3. It’s hard to imagine now, but Ray-Ban was having financial difficulties in 1981. Only 18,000 copies of the now-ubiquitous Wayfarer were sold that year. However, because of too big cameos in Cruise’s films Risky Industry, Top Gun, and Rain Man, Cruise single-handedly saved the entire business with the help of a little product placement paid for by Ray-Ban. In fact, Ray-Ban had a 40% spike in sales the year Top Gun was released (1986).
4. Cruise showed off his greatest movements in a scene that took half a day to film by entirely creating the iconic dance after following this short line from the film’s script: “Joel dances in underpants across the home.”
5. Before Robert Downey Jr. was hired as Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic first film, Iron Man, the role was asked to Tom Cruise, to play it but he turned down the offer.
6. Cruise held his breath underwater for more than six minutes while filming Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. “I’ve worked on a lot of underwater scenes. However, we wanted to create a suspenseful underwater sequence that was free of cuts. So putting that scene together was a lot of fun,” Cruise stated in an interview with USA Today.
