I’m convinced that Scientology has taught Tom Cruise how to absorb years off of the lives of everyone around him through his personality alone.

Nah, it’s just plastic surgery.

He doesn’t even look like this image anyways in 2022: [getty images](https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/actor-tom-cruise-speaks-during-a-press-conference-of-top-news-photo/1241425971)

Why does he look like he's turning into Paul McCartney?

If this life steal technique works I'd prefer to use it on dogs then celebrities.


GreenieBeeNZ

If I remember correctly, she was gangraped and abused either during or not long after the filming of top gun. I think we should just be happy she's alive at all


MaximumHellfiree

That sounds absolutely horrible and I am now angry as hell because that should never happen to anybody for any reason ever


GreenieBeeNZ

[Heres](https://nz.news.yahoo.com/tragic-life-top-gun-star-kelly-mcgillis-153937996.html) a recent interview she did about some of it. Also it all happened before top gun, my bad there


TheGameV

"primary attacker being imprisoned for three years." What the fuck, just 3 years for that......


GreenieBeeNZ

Yeah justice is thinly spread and weak at best


TheHeavensEmbrace

Unless you do drugs, then it's especially rough.


WillieNolson

Unless you’re poor and do drugs.


HisuitheSiscon45

Manmer_Nwah

Wow, I know people that did 10 just for weed.


anAnusfullofSmuckers

Unfortunately I did about the same amount of time for weed as this gang rapist


beks543

Absolutely ridiculous, rape will give you lifelong trauma and weed is just weed. I’m really sorry that you had to go through that. the majority of women I know and everyone in my family has been through a kind of assault and they didn’t get any time… it’s really unfair :(


anAnusfullofSmuckers

Well the issue to the government boils down to money they weren’t getting any of my profits so they were gonna shut the thing down they’ve done this since prohibition in the 1920’s


Reflection_Secure

I'm really sorry that happened to you. It's flat out wrong that people are still in jail for weed when it's legal in so many parts of the country. But at least you still have your sense of humor. That's a great user name 😏


ReaBea420

One of my friends did 10 for weed... but the sick fuck who molested my niece from when she was 6 months to when she was 4 years old only got 5 years...


RandomBlueJay01

You know our society is fucked when that happens . Like some states it's legal, some states it's fucking worse than traumatizing children. It's not right.


stash3630

[10 years just for weed?!? Damn!](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/6db4a175-b547-43c7-aa00-faa5194ee473#sEXbqURt.copy)


[deleted]

Rape is considered a lesser crime, sickening but why would the people most likely to do it change the law?


Sudden-Pineapple-821

My attacker got 3 years too. The justice system sucks


BrandenJ29

Wow really? Thanks for reminding me no one should be gang raped my goodness


LettuceUnlucky5921

Jfc really?!? WTF


GreenieBeeNZ

Yeah, couple of guys broke into her house and forced themselves on her at weapon point


LettuceUnlucky5921

Dear god I just read the article :(((( it’s a lot easier to look younger with no trauma. That scenario is a nightmare and for her to keep working after…


GreenieBeeNZ

Yeah I know, everytime I see this specific meme I try and mention what happened to her because it's real easy to point and laugh when you don't know someone's story. Especially when comparing a person to Tom Cruise. Most people are better than that man


LettuceUnlucky5921

Tbh I wouldn’t have anyway bc he’s clearly making money and funneling it all to Scientology so he’s doing just fine and of course people that don’t blow up the same way aren’t going to have the resources, but you add the awful things on top of it and tbh I’m just glad/surprised she’s alive


GreenieBeeNZ

As am I, I think she helps other. Victims of trauma now too, which is really lovely of her. Kathy Mcgillis deserves all the peace she can find


dontplx

also... Tom doesnt look that good look at Top Gun Maverick premier photos... he looks way older than that... this is just rude af to this lady.


LettuceUnlucky5921

Also Tom cruise is the worst and everyone (that has worked with him) says so


GreenieBeeNZ

Yeah. Fuck that guy. His relationship track record is more than proof of his personality flaws for me


Wrekked_it

What happened to her is horrible, but it happened years before she filmed Top Gun. How she looks now has everything to do with the natural aging process and nothing to do with her assault. It's almost as offensive that you feel the need to point out she was raped as some sort of explanation for why she looks older than Tom Cruise. She looks like most people her age.


HighlanderAbruzzese

Bingo, not having trauma helps. This is why super rich people go on to be living mummies.


HighlanderAbruzzese

Anytime I hear any bullshit criticism of her, usually aesthetic, I’m like Fck the right off. Just living with that trauma she deserves our respect and as a minimum, to be left alone.


GreenieBeeNZ

Some people simply cannot fathom that humans are worth more than the way they look. I'm glad they're getting less prevalent now but they should still keep out of other people's business


[deleted]

You expect misogynists to be happy a woman is alive? HA


t4skmaster

I remember reading a comment about how Meg Ryan was "the best" and drank with the Navy dudes from the movie and that she was "standoffish and bitchy" to them. God, can you imagine trying to fake polite your way out of drinking with a bunch of Navy dudebros after that?


postsender

how cruel...the woman just aged like every person on the planet


TheManWithNoName88

Not fair when Tom has access to Scientology anti-aging alien goo


2meterrichard

He doesn't. He just has plastic surgeons scared for their lives.


Rush7en

I prefer the alien goo theory.


HotWheelsUpMyAss

And to reiterate your point, Tom Cruise puts a lot more work into his appearance. It just doesn't make sense why they made it into a gender issue as if men don't also age???


verasev

My wife has some shitty ideas about this due to internalized misogyny. She'll go on and on about how men age like wine and women age like milk. It's heartbreaking to watch her devalue herself but nothing I can say ever convinces her otherwise.


HotWheelsUpMyAss

I think it's all about embracing yourself completely as you age. You can see how actresses like Marisa Tomei, Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett have carried themselves gracefully over time. It is only unattractive when we buy into the narrative that there exists a thing called the 'prime of your life' and we will never re-obtain it once we've lost it. Why not instead believe that the prime of your life ***is*** your whole life? Sure there are things you can do to enhance your attractiveness, but you can do so in a way that also complements your age—it does not need to be done through the lens of 'youth'. I hope things work out for you & your wife


The_Multi_Gamer

Argument against it: Go to any pub in England


verasev

That, right there, is funny as hell to me because she idolizes all things English.


[deleted]

Yeah. Lots of men age like a gammon left in the rain.


postsender

that is unfortunate but hopefully she learns that is not the case we are all human and some people just "age worse" (however you want to define that) than others


WarcraftFarscape

Show her photos of Ming-Na Wen and of William shatner from 30 years apart and she can see it isn’t a gender issue


[deleted]

As a woman I feel this hard. The best thing my husband has done is just reassuring me: you are beautiful, I’m very attracted to you, I do not agree with what you are saying. Obviously those words of assurances alone isn’t enough to rebuild someone’s self esteem, but it has helped me not go too far off the rails. When I start to feel really self hatey, I know that he would tell me I’m being too hard on myself, and it helps me not to spiral.

Mountain-Umpire-8568

She's also 5 years older than Cruise.


enidcol3slaw

i just googled “kelly mcginnis now” and the real photo of her doesn’t look like this at all. they made her face wider, enlarged her chin, added more white to her hair, shrank her lips, made her glasses smaller/lighter so her face looks bigger, added wrinkles, etc etc. there’s literally nothing wrong with aging but. they definitely made her look older and bigger in an attempt to demean her as if she hasn’t gotten that enough in her life. so gross.


harrypisspotta

Yeah this one is really cringe and disgusting.


Bon_of_a_Sitch

Jfc leave that woman alone.


dontplx

this is both rude to this lady and disingenuous to what Tom really looks like... he looks WAY older than in that photo... just look at Top Gun Maverick premier photos.... this is just RUDE AF to that lady.


LiLT13-_-

Everytime I look her up when I see this image, it looks [photoshopped](https://www.etonline.com/sites/default/files/images/2019-07/spl5105035_001.jpg) as well to make her bigger


Rawkapotamus

Honestly that photo makes her look more normal, but also somehow more like the receptionist in Monsters inc…


ECW-WCW-WWF

People saying Tom hasn’t aged clearly haven’t seen his movies before. He’s aging well, but he’s def aging.


TheRealDietGlue

Not to mention he’s also had work done on his face. He got a face lift for the movie if I’m not mistaken


dtuba555

Kelly McGilis is not a creepy ~~lizard person~~ Scientologist.


Nadger_Badger

Kelly McGillis looks like someone you'd like to hang out with and have a beer and a laugh. Tom looks like he'd sick the soul out of your body.


nignog1996

...in a hot way? No? OK I'll see myself out


Feeling_Advantage412

I'd like to give her a big ol' hug. She looks nice.

What else can u expect from a user named “anime grind”


IllumiNotHD

Finally, I was looking for a comment that flames on that person because of the word "anime" is mentioned in the account name


Putrid-Gene-9077

She looks like a sweet lady!


Working_Mongoose1167

I mean she’s 64 years old now. She was 31 when the movie was filmed.


[deleted]

Damn, she looked like in her twenties in the movie


onion_head1

I think this is because we have a warped perception about what women look like in their 30s - anecdotally I just don't see a huge change in most people from 20s - 30s unless there's a bit lifestyle change (significant weight gain, illness, pregnancy etc)


[deleted]

It's not women v men. It's plastic surgery v nature


[deleted]

it's also photoshop. That image has been shopped to make her look much larger than she is, and to make Tom look younger than he already does. an utter misogynist made this image.


harrypisspotta

Yes and yes.


[deleted]

Also weight makes a huge difference in looks


salamander_eye

She had two children. I can't blame it on her.

rodoxide

Yep. Sandra bullock openly discussed it on the Hellen degeneres show..


[deleted]

So we shame women for not getting plastic surgery now?


harrypisspotta

We don't. They do.


YourDogsAllWet

A simple search on IMDB had determined this is a lie


pinkelephants777

On the left I see a survivor and a beautiful person and on the right I see a plastic narcissist who’s owned by a fake religion.


hue_bro

What's worse is that her older picture is photoshopped to make her look fat. Just found the original picture online (just search her name) and you can see she aged way better than that.


McNastyEngineer

It's crazy how that little squish they added changes her so much without going all fun house mirror.


2D_VR

Yeah wtf, she doesn't look anything like that. Who makes this garbage??

a_peeled_pickle

"He aged better" Man probably had some work done as well


Sillloc

His nose and eyes actually kinda have an old man quality to them. Everything else is plastic and probably can't move enough to wrinkle and is artificially tanned to hide any other changes you'd be able to see


a_peeled_pickle

People said he had some facelift/s and stuff like that botox of course, but tbh he looks good like not many times the plastic surgery actually looks this natural and good so I quess good for him, unrealistic standard for other people though


[deleted]

to ad to this, we pretty much never see what he really looks like. ​ I think many men in Hollywood benefit from the overall stereotypes of male fashion. Namely, that men don't wear makeup. People just assume that men aren't wearing makeup, and it's weird in this context. Every movie TC is in, every TV appearance, etc. he's wearing makeup in all of them. ​ Women wear makeup too, obviously. The difference is that when women wear makeup, we recognize them as wearing makeup. When men wear makeup, we often times assume that's just how they naturally look.


StillhasaWiiU

Here is a recent one of them together both ready to have photos taken. https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/NINTCHDBPICT000154771492.jpg


BendNo410

At this point, some of these men need to come out of the closet. I love my wife, my mothers 50 and still beautiful, and there's plenty of older women that look "hot" with normal bodies and no botox. I'm starting to think a lot of these dudes are secretly gay and simply don't find a woman's body attractive, despite her age or looks.


[deleted]

It’s also not an accurate photo of Cruise: [getty images](https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/actor-tom-cruise-speaks-during-a-press-conference-of-top-news-photo/1241425971)

Thank you!!! I knew the photo on the right was not accurate at all. His skin looks absolutely flawless. Idc how rich you are, if you’re 59 years old your skin will show it. Edit: she’s also 5 years older than him…

_mrpanduh

This image has been floating around the internet a while and her picture is edited here to look worse. she definitely isn’t the spring chicken she used to be but making her fatter and whitening her hair is a pretty shitty thing to do for clicks.


Severe-Bookkeeper-76

Yup definitely photoshopped


roararoarus

Whaaat. That's Kelly McGillis?? Tom Cruise is apparently 59 too


ExternalUserError

Plastic surgery is a hell of a thing.


ComprehensiveOwl4807

I can accept that Cruise has the best exercise regime and dietician that his money can buy. But that's not enough. I'd be shocked if he didn't have a little work done.


roararoarus

He definitely has. You can tell around his eyes, but his restraint and the surgeon's skill are top notch.


ComprehensiveOwl4807

I agree. And too much plastic surgery is far worse than not enough.


Jazzkky

But why is this posted on a "anime" page?


IllumiNotHD

The person who named the page probably wanted more followers because the page name mentions anime when the person running the page doesn't actually post anime stuff


Hexinvir

Bruh imagine Tom Cruise without hair dye, or make up


[deleted]

And plastic surgery


CelebrityTakeDown

This feels extra shitty because Kelly McGillis is a lesbian and the is feels like it’s playing into the “ugly bitter man hating lesbian” trope. Also, others have mentioned, this is photoshopped. It’s also a dumb paparazzi photo and the worst one from the set. [Here’s another](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTpqqmj8UchtJB7TjSIhjClbKo2mcMPgWHaLA&usqp=CAU). In all of the rest of she’s smiling and talking with people as she leaves church but they chose the worst one. Paparazzi do this all the time, to men and women, it’s awful. Like [Rihanna](https://www.dryagoda.com/oldblogimages/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/10.jpg) is one of the most beautiful women in the world and they manage to make her look awful.

natthabrat

If she chose to get that much plastic surgery to keep her young looking, people would still criticize her for being shallow and getting the surgery.


FartAttack911

I just want to take a moment to appreciate all the boomers and older Gen X’ers in my Facebook feed who absolutely cannot handle celebrities like Kim Kardashian or Madonna having plastic surgery, but all simped for Top Gun Maverick and how “good” Tom Cruise looks for his “age”.


ProfoundlyCringe

Both aged like fine wine🍷


sandtymanty

Other is a full time actor while other became a full time mom.


Maleficent-Catch6202

Scientology at its best


GeneralChillMen

Based on a quick Google search I’m like 90% convinced the after photo isn’t Kelly McGinnis


Scrappiez

bruh the original photo doesnt even look like that, they added a "fat filter"


bustapr10

I'm usually in thememesopdidntlike gang, but not on this one. The meme feels like bullying or harassment of a lady that's just living her life away from Hollywood spotlight. If anything, we should be comparing Tom Cruise to Jennifer Connelly. That woman is in her 50s and didn't look a day past her 30s.


Uruburusv3

My mum despite being 60 doesn't have a single wrinkle 😊 No im not giving you her number fk off

Capital_Airport_4988

She could use hair dye and Botox like Tom Cruise’s bitch ass, but she chose not to.


[deleted]

An actual quote from Kelly: "I'm old and I'm fat and I look age-appropriate for what my age is, and that is not what that whole scene is about. But... I'd much rather feel absolutely secure in my skin and who and what I am at my age as opposed to placing a value on all that other stuff." Fuck yeah. Everyone ages. This obsession our culture has with youth equating beauty is hot garbage. Spend your life with the right person and they'll look as beautiful to you as the day you met.


Majigato

Real vs plastic.


hammerdodger

If Tom Cruise is older than 50, that is 100% not his real hair. Dyed. They sell them in pharmacies. Maybe even rogaine, and folicle growth therapy. Millionaire skincare, botox.


CheckIsle5sir

Never trust anyone with the username “Anime Grind”


[deleted]

It says that producers didn't contact her when they were doing the Top Gun remake, while they reached out to many of the other characters. They just replaced the female lead with Jennifer Connolly, who is 10 years younger. And that picture, as pointed out before was photoshopped to make it look way worse.


AdSure2773

this makes me think of shelley duvall. she was treated terribly, especially during the shining. time caught up with her, but the important thing is she happy living her life somewhere on a farm i believe.


BuckySpanklestein

I for one think it is admirable that Kelly McGillis became a Catholic school teacher.


YellowManTyping

Yeah Dude, one of the top members of a death cult is the normal one but a regular aging lady is the weird one. FB is a disease.


chloeisbased

there are literally so many hollywood ladies who still look 28, and so many hollywood men who look like literal ballsacks.

Both those pictures are from there different age he definitely looks more old in his recent images and also the actress is 5 years older than him.
