Tom Cruise Finally Ageing! Fans Congratulate Top Gun Star For Looking Old
Tom Cruise has been awarded the US Navy’s prestigious Distinguished Public Service Award in recognition of his “outstanding contributions to the Navy and the Marine Corps.” The actor received the honour during a ceremony held in London on Monday, where he was lauded for his portrayal of military characters in films like Top Gun, Born on the Fourth of July, A Few Good Men, and the Mission: Impossible series. The award acknowledges his efforts in increasing public awareness of the military’s highly trained personnel and the sacrifices they make.
Cruise, who is currently working in the UK, was seen at the event posing with the award in a sharp black suit. Photos of the actor with the medal quickly circulated on social media, with fans and followers expressing their congratulations. The Navy commended Cruise for his role in fostering greater appreciation for the armed forces through his iconic film portrayals.
However, the photos also sparked a wave of commentary online, as many X (formerly Twitter) users noted a significant change in Cruise’s appearance. While the actor has long been known for his youthful looks, these recent pictures prompted numerous users to point out that Cruise appeared to have aged. Comments like “Bro finally aged. Congrats, Tom,” and “Tom Cruise finally looks old” flooded social media platforms. Some even expressed shock, with one user remarking, “He’s almost not recognizable?” while others speculated that Cruise’s puffy cheeks could be the result of steroids or medical treatment.
The actor’s aging appearance became a trending topic, with many expressing their disbelief at the changes to his youthful visage. “Sucks seeing Tom get old bro. Guy didn’t age for 50 years straight now it’s taking a turn,” one user commented. Another likened Cruise’s new look to actor Jason Bateman, further fueling the conversation about his changing appearance.
Despite the reactions to his looks, Cruise’s career continues to flourish. He is set to star in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, slated for release in May 2025. In addition, Cruise is working on Deeper, a supernatural thriller about an astronaut who encounters a terrifying force during a deep dive into an unexplored ocean trench.
