In his 45-year career, Cruise has been nominated for four Oscars — best actor in “Born on the Fourth of July,” best actor in “Jerry Maguire,” best supporting actor in “Magnolia” and for his role as a producer, a best picture nomination for “Top Gun: Maverick.”

Former U.S. Navy Blue Angel and Marco Island resident Lt. Cmdr. Curtis Watson took Tom Cruise flying in 1985 to help the young actor with character development for his role as Maverick in "Top Gun," according to a 2016 Naples Daily News report.

Decades after dominating Hollywood as its golden lovebirds, and later enduring a highly public and bitter divorce, Nicole Kidman’s ex-husband Tom Cruise has reportedly weighed in on her recent split from Keith Urban.
