HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY IS a title you wouldn’t bestow on just any old actor.

But Tom Cruise has warranted it. He’s starred in some classic films for over three decades, running the gamut from 80s comedy to startlingly edgy thrillers.

If anyone has earned the accolade, it’s Tom.

But which of these many faces of Tom Cruise fits you best? Let’s find out.

1. First up - an easy one. Choose somewhere far and away for your dream holiday.

"Tell me you like my hat!"

"You think I'm a hero? I am not a hero."
"Help me, help you."
7. It's movie night and the popcorn is flowing. Your turn to pick a film. What genre tickles your fancy?

    None. Because he’s a brainwashed idiot. Like anyone who gives those Scientology nut jobs the time of day. Not that they are any more deluded than Christians or Muslims but when the founder of your faith is a Sci-fi writer who publicly said “the only way to get rich is to start your own religion” then you really can’t take them seriously at all.
