Breakthrough
Tom Cruise was first chosen for a small, supporting role in the movie “Taps.” Nevertheless, Cruise’s portrayal of a military cadet in the rehearsals so pleased director Harold Becker that he offered him the part of David Shawn. This chance turned out to be a turning point in Cruise’s career, catapulting him to one of Hollywood’s most renowned performers in history. Celebrity Net Worth predicts his net worth to be around $600 million as of 2021, a monument to his talent and dedication over the years. He followed this breakthrough with unforgettable performances in classic movies like “Risky Business” and “Top Gun.”
Like Lightning Mcqueen
Tom Cruise discovered a passion for racing while filming “Days of Thunder,” but according to his instructor Roger French, he frequently ignored proper techniques and safety precautions in favor of driving at breakneck speeds. As a result, he earned the moniker “See Cruise Crash Again,” so it’s probably best that he doesn’t pursue racing as a profession. At least on the racetrack, unlike his protagonists in “Top Gun,” there aren’t any flying challenges to overcome.
