The obsession of Tom Cruise with plastic surgery has left him looking haggard and the Hollywood star is anxious for more nip/tucks to support his sagging face, a new report claimed.
“Tom’s had all these surgeries and other beauty rituals that have taken a toll on his looks to the point where his face is collapsing and sagging in weird places. People are begging him to stop trying to look younger and telling him to accept it and age gracefully. But that’s not his style,” an unnamed source told The National Enquirer.
The 61-year-old film superspy's deflated face was on full view in London during a recent shoot for the imminent "Mission: Impossible 8” movie.
“A couple of years ago he was so puffy that people were comparing him to a chipmunk. But now it’s the opposite — all the extra volume is gone, so his skin is drooping and unfortunately it doesn’t just look like normal aging, it looks really unnatural,” the insider suggested.
As previously reported, informants claimed the “Top Gun” star has undergone numerous surgeries, including a 2019 facelift, to maintain his boyish appearance.
“Tom may never admit it, but the truth is written all over his face. He’s convinced that with the right procedure he can turn back the clock again. He’s researching the latest rejuvenation techniques and putting a lot of hope on things like stem cells and lasers,” the tipster said.
“But the fear is he could wind up permanently scarred. He always seems to go overboard and ends up looking pillow-faced — he doesn’t look like himself anymore,” it went on.
Business Times has reached out to Tom Cruise for comments about his alleged plastic surgery obsession.
Meanwhile, the trades announced a few months back that Tom Cruise had forged a strategic collaboration with Warner Bros. to develop and produce original and franchise theatrical films in which the actor would star. At the moment, it was unclear what Tom intended to develop.
Giant Freakin Robot recently claimed that one of those films will be a remake of Clint Eastwood's 1977 action classic “The Gauntlet.” Tom will allegedly take up the part of drunken Detective Ben Shockley, which Eastwood originally played in the film.
Clint Eastwood helmed the original version of “The Gauntlet.” However, sources told the publication that Christopher McQuarrie will direct the Tom Cruise remake.
Tom will, of course, produce as part of his new arrangement with Warner Bros. Christopher has become the actor's preferred filmmaker throughout the years.
He directed Tom in “Jack Reacher” and three “Mission: Impossible” films. Christopher is allegedly currently working with Tom on “The Gauntlet.”
For starters, “The Gauntlet” is not one of Eastwood's best-known works. It garnered mixed to positive reviews upon its premiere. The film contains several large action scenes, including high-speed chases with helicopters and motorcycles.
There's even a road warrior-inspired chase in a hastily armored bus. It's easy to envision Tom adapting it into one of his stunt-heavy action films, albeit with a grittier twist than we've come to expect from him in the “Mission: Impossible” movies.
