More Oscar recognition followed in 1999 when he received a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his role on Magnolia, winning the Golden Globe in the same category.

The noughties cemented him as an all American action hero with a Mission Impossible sequel, which did better than it's predecessor at the box office, Minority Report, The Last Samurai, Collateral, War of the Worlds and a third Mission Impossible all in the space of six years between 2000-06.

But in 2001 he split with wife Nicole Kidman, after ten years of marriage, before embarking on a three year relationship with actress Penelope Cruz and becoming an advocate for controversial religion Scientology.

Since a series of bizarre behaviour, which included jumping up and down on Oprah Winfrey's sofa shouting 'I Love Katie', Cruise has made movies sparingly.

He married Katie Holmes in 2006 and together they have a daughter Suri.

While some claim that the actor's star is setting with a successful twenty five year career behind him no one would write him off to make an impressive return. he next appears on the big screen at the end of the year in Valkyrie.
