Tom Cruise's face has always melted hearts, however, behind that image as one of the most handsome actors in Hollywood, hides a character that is not easy to carry. The first representative of the protagonist of 'Mission Impossible', she offered an interview to the Magazine, in which she confessed unknown details about the actor's explosive personality.
“He was always very ambitious and determined to be a star. And that made him a perfectionist," said Eileen Berlin, the interpreter's first representative. She added that Cruise has always had a terrible temper. "I gave him an album of all his promotional items and he yelled at me, 'I don't want to be in teen magazines.' He threw the album at me hard and it hit me on the cheek,” Berlin said.
The representative and her late husband met the actor in 1980 and gave him refuge in her house since he had nowhere to live. He worked as a waiter and earned very little, he couldn't afford the rent on a house. Also, at the time Tom Cruise was running away from his troubled family. “He told us that he needed us to manage his career and find him a Hollywood agent,” recalls Berlin.
During those early years of her career, the representative became a kind of surrogate mother for the actor. “He was sweet, respectful, and extremely polite and he always addressed me as 'ma'am' and my husband as 'sir.' But Tom also had another side, which he began to show more and more frequently. He had a terrible temper. He harbored a lot of anger towards his father. He was in a bad mood and angry with a snap of his fingers. It was like something was smoldering and suddenly boiled and exploded,” Eileen Berlin recounted.
Tom Cruise has spoken little about his family, but it is known that he comes from a dysfunctional home and estranged parents. “He was a bully and a coward, the kind of person who, if something goes wrong, kicks you. It was a great lesson in my life: he put you to sleep, made you feel safe, and then, bang! ”, Said the artist about his father in an interview in 2006.
Eileen Berlin said that what upset her the most was his obsession with his physique. Cruise took advantage of the mirrors in the house to practice posing and see himself from all angles. “Tommy had many faces, you see it in the photos. There is contempt, arrogance, frustration, charm, sadness. What I have never seen is a real display of happiness in him.
The actor's temperament and his obsession with Scientology, the religion he professes, have led him to three high-profile divorces. The first was with the actress Mimi Rogers, from whom he separated in 1991, and later with Nicole Kidman, whom he met during the filming of 'Days of Thunder' and from whom he divorced in 2001, after 11 years of marriage. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman have been Hollywood's favorite couple for years. Then the actor married Katie Holmes in 2006, with whom he has a 15-year-old daughter, whom he has not seen for almost 10 years when he divorced in 2012.
