Thomas Cruise Mapother IV (born July 3, 1962), popularly known as Tom Cruise, is an American actor and producer. One of the world's highest paid actors, he has received various accolades throughout his career, including three Golden Globe Awards, in addition to nominations for a British Academy Film Award and three Academy Awards. He emerged in the 1980s as one of Hollywood's most popular leading men, known for his clean-cut good looks and versatility.

No one who has seen his movies "Top Gun", "Jerry Maguire", "The Last Samurai", or "Mission Impossible", would believe that Tom Cruise struggles with reading. Cruise spent his childhood trying to hide his dyslexia (a learning disorder characterised by difficulty in reading) from his peers. Diagnosed at the age of seven, Cruise describes his younger self as a "functional illiterate". He could barely read in high school or through his earliest roles. He eventually adopted L. Ron Hubbard's learning method of "Study Technology", which helped him develop his reading and study habits.

Cruise has been married to actresses Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes. He has three children, two of whom were adopted during his marriage to Kidman and the other of whom is a biological daughter he had with Holmes. He is an advocate for the Church of Scientology (a religious movement) and its associated programs, which he credits for overcoming his dyslexia. Tom Cruise has 6.1m followers on Instagram.
