Tom Cruise opened up in an interview and told part of his unknown past.
Tom Cruise became one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. The Mission Impossible actor reaped an absolute fortune, being one of the best paid in the industry and one of the faces that conquers the most hearts throughout the globe. But behind that fame, that unique smile, and that beauty, there is a sad look at that past that accompanies him to this day.
Although I always try to keep a very low profile, beyond having starred in some important and controversial romances in the world of entertainment, in 2006 she dared to talk for the first time about her early life and her family and was surprised with the story of him.
Tom Cruise was known for avoiding questions that referred to his childhood or his parents, given that he grew up with an abusive father who marked him forever. But on this occasion, when they asked him about his firstborn, he decided to tell the whole truth.
In an interview, the actor destroyed Thomas Cruise Mapother III, saying that he does not have good memories of his childhood because of him and that the first years of his life were marked by a hostile environment, screams, blows, and constant abuse.
“He was an abuser and a coward, a person who if something went wrong would kick you, kick you hard. It was a great lesson in my life to see how someone could put you to sleep and make you feel safe, then… bang! ”, He expressed in dialogue with Parade magazine.
“For me, it was like: ‘There is something strange about this man. Don't trust him, be very careful when you have him around,'” added Tom Cruise in that interview where he also added how this impacted his school life.
The actor went to 14 schools throughout his life because his father was constantly moving from one city to another looking for work or better conditions, so he always ended up being a stranger at school, where everyone left him aside and even beat him for his insecurity and lack of ability to defend himself.
“School was hard because I was jumping from here to there. He didn't have any real friends, someone who understood me. He was always the new kid with the wrong shoes and the wrong accent. “I didn't have a friend to share things with and trust,” he said.
