Tom Cruise’s Alleged Surgeries Taking A ‘Toll’ On His Appearance: ‘Face Is Collapsing’
Tom Cruise looked different lately due to the multiple surgeries he has had, according to a source.
The "Jack Reacher" actor is reportedly desperate for more nip and tucks to keep his "falling face." Cruise, 61, has had several surgeries through the years, and they appear to be taking a toll on his appearance, according to an anonymous tipster.
"Tom's had all these surgeries and other beauty rituals that have taken a toll on his looks to the point where his face is collapsing and sagging in weird places," the insider recently told In Touch. "People are begging him to stop trying to look younger and telling him to accept it and age gracefully. But that's not his style!"
The source continued, "A couple of years ago, he was so puffy that people were comparing him to a chipmunk. But now it's the opposite -- all the extra volume is gone, so his skin is drooping, and unfortunately, it doesn't just look like normal aging; it looks really unnatural!"
Sources claimed that the "Mission: Impossible" star had multiple procedures, including a 2019 facelift to maintain his boyish good looks. However, he reportedly never admitted to it, "but the truth is written all over his face," the tipster claimed.
"He's convinced that with the right procedure, he can turn back the clock again. He's researching the latest rejuvenation techniques and putting a lot of hope on things like stem cells and lasers," the insider added. "But the fear is he could wind up permanently scarred. He always seems to go overboard and ends up looking pillow-faced -- he doesn't look like himself anymore!"

Cruise's dramatic facial transformation has been a subject of discussion for a decade already. In 2012, there were rumors that he had a nose job, which he denied.
"I haven't and never would," Cruise said when asked by Playboy magazine about the rumors, according to The Sun.
However, his friend Cuba Gooding Jr. fueled the rumors by insisting that Cruise "absolutely" had work done.
"I don't know what he's had done, but I remember I surprised him at his house one day, and he had all of these dots all over his face, and I was like, 'You all right?' and he goes, 'I didn't know you were coming' and I was like, 'I can see why,'" Gooding Jr. told Andy Cohen on "Watch What Happens Live" in 2016.
Alice Henshaw, owner and practitioner of Harley Street Injectables, told The Sun that the dots that Gooding Jr. saw could indicate many types of surgical or non-surgical procedures to make skin tighter and younger-looking.
"Often dots or markings are drawn on whilst we mark out injection points on the face, but we do this for filler injectables, Profhilo (a collagen stimulator) or even a skin tightening procedure using radio frequency such as Thermage, or a medical grade ultrasound skin tightening like ultraformer," she explained.
