Tom Cruise.

Even if he plays action heroes on the wide screen in reality Tom Cruise is just as frail as most of us…

New pictures surfacing today show the 50 year old actor Tom Cruise looking dangerously thin, said to be as a result of the stress suffered pursuant to his divorce from his wife Katie Holmes.

At the time of Katie Holmes seeking divorce from Mr Cruise the actor almost immediately began to show deterioration in his health, but now those close to him are increasingly alarmed as the actor continues to lose even more weight.

Hardly the positive image the actor would care to portray to his many fans, and the report continues:

It has been reported that since Tom got word of Katie’s decision to split, he has dived deeper into work, and ignoring concern from his family members.

‘He is refusing to slow down and is trying to soldier on. He doesn’t seem to be himself. He hasn’t been working out like he normally does and doesn’t appear to be eating well at all. His clothes just hang off him.’

Time will tell if Mr Cruise who has been under increasing public scrutinywill fare with respect to his state of mind and his health but then again should anyone be surprised that even Mr Cruise who may be an action hero to fans world wide is deep down just like the rest of us vulnerable to the vestiges of loss and heartbreak…?

Recent before and above pictures show the extent of the actor’s weight loss.
