Tom Cruise Accused Of Having 'Play-Doh Face' As Film Critic Rips Actor's Seemingly Changing Appearance
Ross seems to believe the speculation, saying the "Mission: Impossible" star has "got that kind of Play-Doh face."
Meanwhile, a medical expert has stated that Tom Cruise most likely didn't get surgery but instead looks like "he has lost a lot of weight," as well as cut down on his alcohol and carb intake.
Jonathan Ross recently took a jab at Tom Cruise over his changing appearance, fueling speculation about possible surgery.
The "Top Gun" star was plagued by rumors that he had undergone plastic surgery to achieve a much younger look following his Super Bowl appearance earlier this year.
In the latest episode of his "Reel Talks" podcast, Ross expressed his opinion on Cruise while talking about Brad Pitt and his new movie "F1."
He stated that Cruies "doesn't look like him anymore," comparing his new look to that of Brad Pitt.
"You've probably seen the poster around town - it's Brad Pitt looking incredible," the TV presenter said, per the Daily Mail. "He has aged remarkably because even though Tom Cruise still looks good for his age, you can see there's been a bit of tweaking going on there, you know."
"He's definitely got a ton of filler in that face, I'm sure. Yeah, I've met him up close. I like Tom, he's a really nice man when you meet him," Ross continued. "He's got that kind of Play-Doh face that people get when they have a lot of filler."
Cruise remains one of the most charming Hollywood actors, but throughout his career, he has had to deal with rumors that he enhanced his looks.
The actor was suspected to have gotten fillers in his face and used Botox to freeze his facial muscles in the past.
However, in his conversation on the podcast, Ross said he wished the actor hadn't done it, as his previous appearance seemingly looks better than now.
"To be honest, I wish he hadn't done it cos he's got such a great face, he was a naturally very handsome man when young, and he would be a handsome man when older," he said. "He's still… he's not unattractive, but it doesn't look that much like him anymore. You can see it doesn't look natural."
"It's not because they don't look their age, it's because the shape of the face now looks somewhat different," Ross added.
A plastic surgeon recently addressed the rumors about Cruise's face, telling the Daily Mail that the actor most likely didn't undergo surgery.
Dr Kahn explained: "I still say that does not look like he has had any plastic surgery. It actually looks like he has lots a ton of weight and been working out more. He also has a nice summer tan going on."
The expert said Cruise "was a bit puffy" before, but "that is gone now," going on to suggest the actor possibly had a Microdermabrasion.
"It's a simple procedure that yields great results," he said.
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a special instrument to gently exfoliate and remove the top layer of dead skin cells (the stratum corneum) from the skin.
It is a go-to procedure for addressing photoaging, striae, melasma, and scars. It's often referred to as a "skin polishing" treatment.
While fans and critics continue to speculate on whether Cruise has undergone plastic surgery, one thing is sure: he's in top shape, especially for his demanding movie roles.
In an interview with Empire magazine, the actor revealed that he endured intense physical strain while filming a high-stakes underwater scene for "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning."
During the sequence, Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt, explores a sunken submarine inside an 8.5 million-liter water tank mounted on a rotating gimbal, allowing the set to move on command.
Wearing a specially designed suit and mask, Cruise could only stay in the gear for 10 minutes at a time before experiencing hypoxia, a condition characterized by oxygen deprivation that affects the muscles.
"I'm breathing in my own carbon dioxide," Cruise explained, per Variety. "It builds up in the body and affects the muscles. You have to overcome all of that while you're doing it, and be present."
Meanwhile, Cruise has been going out of his way to impress his love interest, Ana De Armas, with new reports suggesting he wants to make her his "future wife." The pair have grown closer to each other and have been pictured out and about on several occasions.
A source told Radar Online that Cruise has been picturing a "future" with her and has made the actress the "center of his world" in his attempts to win her heart.
He has reportedly created a personalized perfume for her, specifically designed to match her skin perfectly.
"Tom is renowned for being relentless in everything he does, and wowing women is no different," the insider said. "He is eyeing Ana as a future wife and has been going all-out to wow her, from private jet trips to putting her up in the best suites."
"But his latest gift is his most personal yet," the source continued, adding that the actor "is intent on making everything as lavish and over-the-top as possible for Ana."
The source added that Cruise gave it to her in a hand-blown pink Murano glass, along with a handwritten note and hundreds of orchids.
Neither Cruise nor de Armas has addressed rumors of a budding romance.

What to Know About the Legal Battle Surrounding Jimmy Buffett's $275M Estate 2 Years After His Death
Nearly two years after Jimmy Buffett's death, his widow, Jane Slagsvol, filed a lawsuit against the co-trustee of the singer's estate. Slagsvol named Richard Mozenter, who helps manage Buffett's estate, in a June 2025 lawsuit, claiming that he's yet to disclose key financial matters. According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly that same month, Slagsvol is seeking to remove Mozenter as a trustee because he allegedly hasn't acted 'responsibly and performed his duties.' 'Mr. Mozenter has failed to perform even the most basic tasks required of him in his role as co-trustee, including providing Mrs. Buffett with information concerning Trust assets and finances, which has left Mrs. Buffett in the dark with regard to the state of her own finances,' Slagsvol's filing reads. 'Along the way, Mr. Mozenter has belittled, disrespected, and condescended to Mrs. Buffett in response to her reasonable requests for information she undoubtedly was entitled to receive.' Mozenter, an accountant, has not addressed the accusations. Us has reached out for comment. Toby Keith, Hoda Kotb and More Celebrities React to Jimmy Buffett's Death: 'Tremendous Influence' Keep scrolling for more on Buffett's death and resulting estate battle: The 'Margaritaville' singer died in September 2023 at the age of 76. 'Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st, surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,' a statement at the time read. 'He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.' Buffett is survived by Slagsvol, whom he married in 1977, and their three children: Savannah, Sarah and Cameron. According to a September 2023 obituary shared on Buffett's website, he had privately battled Merkel cell skin cancer for four years. The American Cancer Society defines Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) as a rare type of skin cancer that develops when cells grow 'out of control' and can spread quickly to other parts of the body. 'He continued to perform during treatment, playing his last show, a surprise appearance in Rhode Island, in early July,' the obituary noted. Buffett created a trust in December 1990 for Slagsvol's benefit, according to her filing. The terms were amended in 2017 and 2023, respectively, to account for Savannah, Sarah and Cameron. The trust now gives each of Buffett's children a one-third share of the estate's tax exemption, which is worth around $2 million. The trust had stipulated that the bulk of Buffett's assets would pass to Slagsvol's marital trust that she co-administers with an independent party. In her legal motion, Slagsvol claimed that Mozenter had not helped her understand Buffett's financial standing. 'Rather than help his recently widowed client understand her finances, Mr. Mozenter spent the next 16 months stonewalling and making excuses for why he could not yet provide the requested information,' her filing states. According to Slagsvol, Mozenter only provided an estimate in February 2025, claiming the marital trust only netted a $2 million income. 'If the Marital Trust truly earns such a low return consistent with the financials Mr. Mozenter presented, it will confirm that Mr. Mozenter is either not competent to administer the Trust or unwilling to act in Mrs. Buffett's best interests,' the docs read. 'Even if Mr. Mozenter believes he has been unfairly criticized for his failure to discharge his duties as co-trustee (he has not), he concedes that he cannot 'have one productive conversation with [Mrs. Buffett] about any topics.' But Mr. Mozenter nonetheless insists he remain in a position of authority over Mrs. Buffett's wealth. That makes no sense.'

Sean Combs: music pioneer, entrepreneur -- and convicted felon
Even during his federal criminal trial in New York, the descriptions of Sean Combs were frequently those of awe: one former assistant called him "a god among men." "Larger than life," said witnesses over and over -- his accusers included. And that he was, until it all came crashing down. The music and entertainment titan known for his legendary A-list "white parties" had multiple mansions, a private jet, a business empire and scores of accolades. Then in September 2024, he was arrested on sweeping charges including running a criminal ring that allowed him to commit harrowing sexual abuse. And after a two-month long courtroom saga, a jury of 12 New Yorkers on Wednesday found him guilty of two prostitution-related counts -- but acquitted him of more serious allegations of racketeering and sex trafficking. The outcome was not what prosecutors had hoped for -- a decisive conviction for grave crimes that could have kept him incarcerated for life. Nevertheless, even before the blockbuster proceedings began, Combs's reputation was in tatters. The 55-year-old still faces dozens of civil lawsuits in which he is accused of lurid abuse. And even his own team's defense came back to haunt him: the federal judge denied Combs bail as he awaits sentencing, reading back his attorneys' words in which they conceded again and again that he has a record of violence. - Rebrands upon rebrands - Combs, the founder of Bad Boy Records whose proteges included the late Notorious B.I.G. and Mary J. Blige, was known as a high-flying, smooth-talking kingpin who ushered hip-hop from the underground to bottle-service clubs. He was continuously rebranding -- his monikers include "Puff Daddy," "P Diddy" and, more recently, "Brother Love." Court proceedings revealed a much seedier side, casting him as a violent, domineering boss whose inner circle helped him live life with impunity. Even before his arrest, the mushrooming accusations and legal action left many of his businesses reeling. There were symbolic measures as well: the city of New York had rescinded the honorary key they had bestowed upon him. But as was clear outside the courthouse throughout the proceedings, he still has a loyal fan base, especially in the city where he made his name. - Party boy and hip-hop mogul - Born Sean John Combs on November 4, 1969, in Harlem, the artist entered the industry as an intern in 1990 at Uptown Records where he eventually became a talent director. He gained clout as a party planner, which would remain central to his brand. In 1991, he promoted a celebrity basketball game and concert at the City College of New York that ended in a stampede, leaving nine people dead. The event was over-capacity by the thousands and resulted in a string of lawsuits, with Combs blamed for hiring inadequate security. He was fired from Uptown, and founded his own label, Bad Boy Records. Thus began his quick ascent to the top of East Coast hip-hop. The Notorious B.I.G. became the genre's king following the release of his landmark debut album "Ready to Die" in 1994, up until his shock murder in 1997. Combs boasted a number of major signed acts and production collaborations with the likes of Blige, Usher, Lil' Kim, TLC, Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men. He was also a Grammy-winning rapper in his own right, debuting with the chart-topping single "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" and his album "No Way Out." The smash hit single "I'll Be Missing You" was a tribute to Biggie. His other major tracks included "It's All About The Benjamins" and "Been Around the World." He built an image as a brash hustler with unapologetic swagger, a major producer who also ventured into Hollywood, reality television and fashion. He was known as a ladies' man -- he had a high-profile relationship with Jennifer Lopez. - 'Next chapters' - As recently as 2023, Combs was still on top of the world -- releasing a new album and taking a victory lap as he accepted lifetime honors including a "global icon" award from MTV. But his star plummeted rapidly in November of that year, when his former partner of 11 years, Casandra Ventura, filed a civil suit with a litany of allegations including a 2018 rape. Combs settled the suit almost immediately, but months later, it became clear that federal investigators were trailing him. His mansions were raided and many possessions seized. Then came his arrest and, nearly eight months later, his high-stakes federal trial. Combs's defense conceded that he committed brutal violence. But they insisted that those instances did not amount to the extensive charges he faced -- and won. Combs routinely brought self-help books or Bible passages with him to the courtroom, and his lawyers argue he's an evolving man. He has six adult children, and a two-year-old named Love Sean Combs. "He's been given his life back," his attorney Marc Agnifilo said Wednesday. "He's going to have next chapters of his life." mdo/sst
