In 1992, Andrew Morton introduced a new perspective on a beloved Princess, and in 1999, he revealed the woman behind a famous blue dress. Now, in 2008, he uncovers the true story of one of the biggest celebrities of our time: Tom Cruise. Known for his remarkable film career, Cruise has starred in iconic movies such as Top Gun, Rain Man, and the Mission: Impossible series, earning three Academy Award nominations and three Golden Globes along the way. However, the public knows little about the complexities of his life beyond his on-screen persona. While he is a well-known Scientologist, the implications of this affiliation remain unclear. His personal life has been marked by marriages to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes, but it was his infamous couch-jumping moment on Oprah that revealed the depth of his public persona. For two years, Morton has interviewed a range of sources, from former teachers to Scientology insiders, to piece together the story of a once-bullied outsider who became an icon. This biography offers never-before-seen photos and shocking insights into Cruise's work, love life, marriages, and beliefs, presenting a compelling portrait of the man behind the celebrity facade.
