All the celebs come out for #NLDS games!! Wonderful to host THE @TomCruise at the @SFGiants v @Dodgers game tonight. Asked him which team he’s rooting for and he gracefully replied, “I’m a fan of baseball.” pic.twitter.com/3RVHAL42PP

Many users were sure that the star of the "Mission Impossible" saga is preparing for a new role.
Maybe he's about to give us a new BANGER movie and had to get chunky for the role that he will be playing 🤔🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️HOPEFULLY!!!🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Others thought the change in his looks was the result of health issues…
What the hell is going on with his face?? Is he having an allergic reaction??
— Virginia Olivieri (@simplyfabbyv) October 11, 2021
…or a botched surgery and side effects from medications.
My guess is he may be taking prednisone for an accident or illness which can cause fat deposits on the side of your skull, giving you a round-faced appearance known as moon face. Moon face can also be a symptom of other health conditions like Cushing Syndrome or Hypothyroidism.

Proponents of conspiracy theories quickly solved the riddle…
So he’s vaccinated? Interesting. 👍🏻

Many netizens refused to believe that the man in the videos and photos was the famous Hollywood heartthrob.
That’s not Tom Cruise.

Your not pulling the wool over my eyes, that is NOT the real Tom Cruise, my gosh, you think I fall for this, I know his true features, yes similar but its not him! He had his tribunal and execution awhile ago.

Some even suggested that it was a lookalike or a deep fake.

Eagle-eyed users pointed out that it was indeed Tom Cruise as his son Connor was seen sitting next to him.
Yes it's him. His son Connor is sitting next to him.

Despite a flood of bitter comments many users said that the actor still looks good.
He looks great to me, as usual. He's also a fantastic person. He stopped to say hello, while spending time with his son. What a guy. I just love him!!!
