Book Review 2-16: Tom Cruise

I read Tom Cruise. This book is written about a famous actor's background. He has many various experiences such as moving many times, his parents' divorce and being famous as an actor. In other words, he doesn't always have a happy life.

On July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, New York, Thomas Cruise Mapother is born. His family calls him Tom. In photos, young Tom has a happy smile, but he moves many times in eleven years. Therefore, he can't make good friends. At school, there are problems. He can't read or write very well! Tom's mother and father divorce in 1973, and she marries again in 1978. The new family moves to New Jersey. Tom is a good actor, and he is a big success in a movie. 'This is the right job for me,' he thinks. Then, he moves to New York in 1980. Tom appears on some movies. Among them, Top Gun makes him a big star. His girlfriend at this time is the actress, Mimi Rogers. In 1987, they marry. For Born on the Fourth of July in 1989. Tom gets a Gloden Globe award, newspaper people give it to actors. Unfortunately, they start to lose their love. Then, they divorce. Tom finds new love with Australian actress, Nicole Kidman. He wants a family, but he and Nicole can't have children. From 1993 to 1996, Mission Impossible, one of his movies, is very popular. He gets another Golden Globe award. In 1997, Tom and Nicole appear on Eye Wide Shut. It is the first time for them to appear on movies together. He gets another Golden Globe award in 1999. The year, 2000, is the happy year for them. They have 2 children at last! They have expensive cars, airplanes and so on in the United States and Australia. However, their happy life doesn't last for a long time. Early in 2001, they divorce. After that, Tom continues appearing on movies.

Though I had heard the name, Tom Cruise, many times, I didn't know his past until I read Tom Cruise. I think he had a stormy life. I think he had a stormy life. In addition, I think he had a strong will that he wanted to be a star. If he hadn't had the strong will, he must have stayed in New Jersey, not in New York. Tom may be happy now because a lot of people like him and his movies. [400 words]
