Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise is one of the world's biggest celebrities. The American actor is known for his blockbuster movies, high-profile romances, and connection to Scientology.
Cruise has been in the entertainment industry since 1981, when he appeared in Endless Love and Taps. But his breakout role came in 1983's Risky Business, where he danced in his underwear in arguably the most iconic movie scene. Since then, the Hollywood A-lister has starred in numerous hits, from Top Gun, Rain Man, and A Few Good Men to Interview With the Vampire, Mission: Impossible, Jerry Maguire, and Jack Reacher.
Cruise is also known for his celebrity relationships. He romanced actors Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Penélope Cruz before notoriously jumping onto a couch on the Oprah stage to declare his love for Katie Holmes.
And, strangely, Tom Cruise's teeth have been the subject of much analysis and speculation, as has his religion. Regardless of the scrutiny, there's no denying that Tom Cruise's net worth and star power are impressive.
