Tom Cruise is a force of nature, an actor who has sustained his career across three decades now at the very peak of his profession. During the last 25 years, he has appeared on more Empire covers than anyone else, and with his new film Edge Of Tomorrow approaching cinemas, we chose Cruise as this month’s cover star and the subject of a career-spanning interview inside. Inside the magazine, Cruise talks us through a career that has seen him work with Stanley Kubrick, Oliver Stone, Steven Spielberg, Sydney Pollack, Jack Nicholson, Paul Newman and virtually everyone who’s anyone. Of his upcoming film with Doug Liman, he says, “The alien invasion is simmering in the background. It’s kind of Back To The Future. I love movies that ask, if you did have to live your life over again, what would happen?” Since the film sees Cruise’s character killed about 200 times (his director’s estimate) he should get a chance to find out.

  • Rock of Ages star Tom Cruise is strumming his way to the hall of fame.

    It’s a Thursday afternoon in a studio in Los Angeles, and Tom Cruise, dressed in jeans and an untucked white button-down shirt, is ­belting out “Paradise City.” He’s performing the Guns N’ Roses song—which he sings during the opening credits of his new movie, Rock of Ages—in character, as Stacee Jaxx, a fading rock god from the eighties. Sitting in front of the glass-enclosed recording booth are Cruise’s music advisers, including Ron Anderson, formerly a vocal coach for Axl Rose, whose trademark screech Cruise has perfected. When Cruise started this project more than a year ago, he didn’t know whether he could really sing. “Adam Shankman, the director, asked me if I could carry a tune,” Cruise tells me later. “I said, ‘We’ll see, won’t we? This is either going to work or it’s going to be dreadful.’ ”

    Throughout his career, Cruise has assessed roles by their degree of difficulty. He loves a challenge—especially if it involves mastering some new skill. Cruise has tossed bottles (Cocktail), flown fighter jets (Top Gun), hustled pool (The Color of Money), learned to live life as a Nazi with one arm and an eye patch (Valkyrie), raced cars (Days of Thunder), and, most recently, rappelled down the face of the tallest building in the world (Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol). He always works from the outside in: Even in his serious, Academy Award–nominated roles for Born on the Fourth of July (in which he was wheelchair-bound) and Magnolia (where he played a sex guru), his way into a character is through the physical. With Stacee Jaxx, he began with the mundane rock-star requirements—honing his newly discovered four-octave range and learning to play the guitar—but the physical soon gave way to the emotional. While everyone else in Rock of Ages is either ridiculous or playing their part with a wink (Alec Baldwin in a wig!), Cruise seems to actually be living in Stacee’s leather pants. He is alone inside another, much more interesting movie; there is a melancholic undertow to Stacee Jaxx—he’s only truly alive when he’s onstage, and he knows that his time there is nearly over.

    Empire: Tom Cruise Talks Jack Reacher Casting

    The magazine will be available this thursday, if anyone can scan it, I’d be forever grateful! I don’t get the magazine here

    Empireonline.com Exclusive: ‘I’m very sensitive to it.’

    There are casting calls so controversial that they look likely to reduce the internet to a smoking wasteland of charred avatars and ashen memes. Michael Keaton as Batman, Daniel Craig as Bond, The Last Airbender… that kind of thing. It’s fair to say that the choice of Tom Cruise to play Lee Child’s towering do-gooder Jack Reacher in One Shot has smoke pouring out of the web again.

    With the movie currently filming in Pittsburgh, Empire tracked the man down to ask about the farrago. “Firstly, I’m very sensitive to it,” Cruise explained, revealing that Child came to watch his readings. “This is Lee’s book and Lee’s character. Him giving me his blessing is what made me do it. If he hadn’t then I wouldn’t have done it.”

    And what of the discrepancy in height – Cruise giving away more than a few inches to the clock-brained legend? “Lee told me that the reason he wrote him that size (6′ 5″) is because that was just one element to his character, and that opened the door to me playing him.”

    As Cruise himself is quick to point out, he’s no stranger to controversial casting. His pick to play Lestat in Neil Jordan’s Interview With The Vampire may have been pre-trolling, but it still caused a stink with fans of Anne Rice’s novel – and, briefly, with the writer herself.

    No-one should doubt the actor’s commitment to the role, though. “Reacher is such a great character,” he enthused. “He doesn’t have a cell phone, he doesn’t have email. He’s off the grid. He pays for things in cash. People look at things through the prism of the colours of their life, but Jack Reacher does things the way we want to sometimes. In that sense he’s sort of a Dirty Harry, a James Bond, a Josey Wales.”

    Cruise on vanity fair

    Vanity Fair features the crème de la crème of Hollywood on the cover of its April issue. BRAD PITT, TOM CRUISE, HARRISON FORD, TOM HANKS, and the king of cool — JACK NICHOLSON — all came together for the photo shoot of the new millennium!
    On newsstands March 11, the ninth annual Hollywood issue of Vanity Fair looks at the legends, the big guns and the scene-stealers as Tinseltown gets ready to celebrate this year’s Academy Awards®.
    “It was a very lively set,” JANE SARKIN, features editor for Vanity Fair, tells ET. “One by one they arrived. Some drove themselves, some had a driver, some came with clothes, and some came just as they were. It didn’t take them long to get ready for the shoot. Jack Nicholson kept everybody calm. He was joking with everybody the entire time.”
    It was also a family affair. Cruise cruised in with his two children, and Hanks brought along his teenaged niece who was thrilled to meet Brad Pitt.
    “Tom and his son did handstands and put on a little acrobatic show,” Sarkin contines, “Brad clowned around by putting Tom Cruise’s dressing-room sign under his white T-shirt, and Jack never took off his sunglasses, and smoked a cigar.”
