“Enough With the Facelift!” People Question Tom Cruise’s Look During Red Carpet Appearance

At 63, Tom Cruise stole the spotlight in an unexpected way at the 2025 Super Bowl pregame show on Fox. While he aimed to hype up the audience with an energetic speech, viewers found themselves fixated on something else entirely — his striking appearance. The reactions were instant, and social media couldn’t get enough.

Tom Cruise made a big entrance at the 2025 Super Bowl, appearing in a dramatic pregame video. His powerful speech, packed with intensity, compared the final showdown to a once-in-a-lifetime mission. Tying into the excitement of Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, which had just dropped its latest trailer, Cruise set the stage for the ultimate football battle.

“A mission that doesn’t come along very often,” he declared, hyping up the Kansas City Chiefs as they aimed for a third consecutive Super Bowl win against the Philadelphia Eagles, a team he described as “Goliaths” known for their strength and speed.

While the speech was grand and full of energy, many viewers were distracted by something else—his face.

“What’s with his face?” one person asked online, while others commented that he looked “bizarre” or “like he’s wearing a Halloween mask of himself.” Another joked, “There is no greater pressure than his skin trying to stay stretched on his face.”

Not everyone was critical, though. One fan defended him, saying, “Tom Cruise got me hyped for a game I don’t even care about.”

This isn’t the first time Cruise’s looks have stolen the spotlight. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, he wowed the crowd with a daring skydiving stunt during the closing ceremony. But even then, some viewers were more focused on his appearance than the jaw-dropping moment.

Literally on the exact same days, Tom Cruise appeared on the red carpet with Brad Pitt. But amid the flashbulbs and fanfare, much of the online chatter veered toward Cruise’s face. Social media lit up with reactions like, “Enough with the facelift.” Many speculated whether the action star’s seemingly altered look was the result of cosmetic tweaks or just a new skincare routine. Either way, his face became the story of the night.

Some viewers and beauty insiders noticed that Cruise’s features appeared fuller than usual, especially around his cheeks and jawline. The term “pillow face” started trending, often used to describe a rounded, plumped-up appearance sometimes caused by dermal fillers. It’s not uncommon in Hollywood, but fans were divided on whether Cruise had gone too far or was simply glowing under the lights.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what people say—Tom Cruise is, and always will be, a Hollywood legend. He’s spent decades entertaining audiences with jaw-dropping stunts, unforgettable performances, and an energy that never fades.
