Hollywood legend Tom Cruise has this magnetic on-screen persona and enchanting personality that is unmatched. The actor has captivated the audience since he stepped into Hollywood to become a successful actor. Cruise is perhaps one of the best action stars ever in American cinema history. His films have often grossed billions of dollars at the box office, making him one of the highest-paid stars in the world.
The Top Gun movie actor has worked across almost all genre films. However, the actor has continued to rule the action genre by doing the impossible when he led any pulse-pounding adventure, action-packed project.
His former manager Eileen Berlin once revealed that Cruise allegedly threw an album on her face when he was 19. In an interview, Berlin detailed his alleged anger issues and claimed that at the beginning of his career in showbiz, the actor was quite moody and would get angry in a snap of the fingers.
Eileen Berlin Reveals Tom Cruise Told Her He Doesn’t Wish To Be on Teen Mags
The Last Samurai movie star had his fair share of highs and lows at the beginning of his career, and he even struggled to build the ideal reputation. Tom Cruise’s former manager Eileen Berlin recalled the incident when the actor was only 19 years old and was wrestling in his career. She told The Daily Mail:
“Tommy had a terrible temper. He harbored a lot of anger at his natural father. He was moody and would get angry in a snap of your fingers. It was like something was smoldering, and it would boil up and explode. I put it down to his insecurity.”
Berlin continued,
“I presented him with an album with all his publicity articles from teen magazines for his 19th birthday. He screamed, ‘I don’t want to be in the teen mags’. He had told me he considered himself an adult, not a teen idol. He threw the album hard at me, and it hit me on the cheek.”
Over the years, Tom Cruise has been making headlines for several controversies. In December 2020, there were rumors that the Edge of Tomorrow movie actor allegedly yelled at crew members for breaking COVID-19 protocols on the set of his film Mission: Impossible 7.
