Tom Cruise Is 50: Is He Still In His Prime?

People were so wrapped up in the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes divorce story last week that his milestone birthday came in with a whimper. As one of Hollywood’s biggest movie icons of all time, one would think that Tom Cruise's 50th birthday would have warranted an all-star bash with some of his most glamorous castmates.

Instead, Cruise was seen boarding a private jet at Reykjavik airport for a most likely mundane flight back to his home in California. Of course, that’s not how he supposedly planned to spend the momentous occasion. Until a few days ago, when his soon-to-be-ex wife Katie Holmes announced she was filing for divorce, he had reportedly planned a family fueled outdoorsy day hiking in Iceland.

The shattered birthday plans are just the latest blow in a string of humiliations the mega-star has suffered lately. First, his turn as the rock god Stacee Jaxx in “Rock of Ages” flopped with an opening weekend box office take of just over $15 million. Then, his young bride allegedly blindsided him by filing for divorce -- and seeking sole custody of their daughter, Suri Cruise.

Plus, there’s all of the press coverage of the potentially damaging role that Cruise’s dedication to Scientology played in the demise of his marriage. The constantly playing videotapes of him jumping on Oprah’s couch and haranguing Matt Laeur about psychiatry play like a barrage of Cruise’s lowest moments. It appears that the movie star might have peaked at 49 and that 50 might mark the beginning of his demise. What do you think: Is Tom Cruise still in his prime?

    Not with all his weird marriages. His weirdness burned him out. Give up on marriage, and just live in sin. It is more fun that way.

    He's 50, by definition he is past-prime; no matter how many plastic surgeons he utilizes to try and fool Father Time.



    Sorry, Tom! It ain't gonna happen. It's too bad, too, if YOU are the one obsessed with your own, eternal, youthful appearance (as opposed to your fan(s))), because a man in your position has a unique ability to do a lot of "good". I guess a man in your position also has a unique ability to do a lot of "bad". It seems as though your pals in the liberal media have already ascribed you to be "bad". Now, it's up to you to prove them right or wrong to the only one who really matters, yourself.

    I'll admit that I like some of his movies, but it's getting harder and harder to watch them knowing he's part of the Scientology cult. I just hope Katie Holmes gets custody of the kids so they aren't brainwashed by them.

    Was he ever? It's weird, I remember the first movie I saw him in, Risky Business. I thought he was good-looking but he has never been someone that I actually liked his looks. I think he's a good actor, but there's just something about him, meh..

    True. I especially hated him in "Interview with the Vampire." I really, really loved that book but thought he was horrible as Lestat. I thought he played him like "beetlejuice". I read that Anne Rice had originally thought of Rutger Hauer as the right actor to play Lestat. Even the guy who played him on "Queen of the Damned" was better than Tom Cruise.

    He's still doing incredibly well... Topping forbes in his area, I mean cumon this guy has achieved more then anyone voting here, probably more then all of us combined.

    He will be in his prime for many more years.

    And while I don't agree with many of his views, I respect his levels of achievement.

    Let's also not forget how much Katie Holmes benefited from this marriage and how normal suri is when compared to any number of other celebrity parent's children.

    What a refreshing response! I would not only call you a "realist", but someone who is respectful and logical. As you said -- while you I don't agree with many of his views, you can still respect his levels of achievement. Most people can't separate out the two.
