A true cinematic hero. Not only of the 80’s

Tom Cruise is a person who requires no introduction. In the 1980s, he was virtually synonymous with the most quality Hollywood productions. He is also doing great today, appearing as an actor in at least one production every year. Tom is also successful as a producer. For the first time, a wider audience could admire his undeniable talent when he played the leading role in the movie “Risky Business” (1983). Earlier, he had already collaborated with Francis Coppola. However, he gained worldwide fame as Maverick in the movie “Top Gun” (1986). Then he became a real movie star of the 1980s. Although it was a very characteristic role, Tom managed to escape from a pigeonhole. Boldly taking on the new acting challenges, Tom created the other great roles. Subsequent films – “The Color Of Money” (the same year 1986!) and, above all, a duet with Dustin Hoffman in the hit “Rain Man” (1989), established his position as a versatile actor.

The memorable performer and probably the most influential man in show business

Tom Cruise ended the 1980s in style, starring in the major melodrama “Born on the Fourth of July” (1989) by Olivier Stone. His role as a Vietnam veteran earned him an Oscar nomination. In the next decade, the actor did not slow down at all. Unlike others who couldn’t find their place in the 90s, Tom once again made memorable roles in such films as the megahit “Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles, 1994” in a duet with Brad Pitt, or “Jerry Maguire ”(1996). To his characteristic creations, he also added the role of Ethan Hunt in another iconic film – Mission: Impossible (1996). It was also his first project as a producer. In turn, his performance in the film “Magnolia” (1999) at the end of the decade brought him another Oscar nomination. Later that same year, he and his wife Nicole Kidman played the main roles in the famous Stanley Kubrick film „Eyes Wide Shut”.

In the following years, the actor again did not slow down. Actually, every film he made in the 2000s turned out to be more or less successful. The sequel to “Mission: Impossible 2” (2000) was a huge hit. But the films Vanilla Sky (2001), Minority Report (2002) and the adaptation of H.G. Wells’ novel “War Of The Worlds” (2005) did just as well. The success of the Mission: Impossible films meant that this decade was practically marked by their continuations. In 2010, Tom Cruise faced a new challenge with the musical movie “Rock Of Ages”. He was supposed to play the fictional music star of the 80s – Jaxx Staycee. Although his acting skills cannot be denied, he had to take private singing lessons. They were given to him by the vocal teacher to the stars, Ron Anderson, known for his unique and effective teaching techniques. The result was another, iconic role for the true hero of Hollywood.
