Erm, Tom Cruise seemingly debuted a smooth new face during the Super Bowl and I’m scared
It’s like a wax figurine come to life
I won’t lie, Scientology stuff aside, there’s something about Tom Cruise that has always freaked me out a bit and his appearance during the 2025 Super Bowl has only confirmed my suspicions.
From all the weird rumours about his extracurricular activities involving fish to the fact his front tooth is in the middle of his mouth (look it up) there are a lot of slightly strange things surrounding Tom.
But none has been as strange as the seemingly new face of Tom Cruise, which he debuted at the Super Bowl and it genuinely looks like he’s wearing some kind of mask.

It’s hard to put my finger on exactly what looks off with his face but it looks like it’s been hugely smoothed over, leading some to wonder whether the whole thing was just AI.
One person wrote on Twitter: “Tom Cruise looks like someone who is wearing a mask of his own face” whilst another added: “Tom Cruise looks like a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic got one wish and it was to be human for a day.” A truly horrifying thought.

Right, so is this even Tom Cruise at all or is it just some weird AI of him? Well first off, yes it’s definitely Tom Cruise you’re seeing in the Super Bowl introduction. albeit a very smooth one.
Whilst it does at first appear as though Tom Cruise might have had a little bit of Botox, in 2012 he addressed claims about plastic surgery saying he “hasn’t” and “never would” have any work done.
However, apparently there could be a slightly more grim secret behind his appearance, as Tom Cruise reportedly uses bird poo to keep his youthful looks. Yes seriously.

According to the Huffington Post, Tom Cruise gets a Geisha Facial which consists of Nightingale poo and is topped with rice bran, with the whole thing being accompanied by ultraviolet light. So perhaps he’d just had an uber long appointment right before filming?
