Tom Cruise’s recent appearance at a baseball game in the United States has sparked conversation as people have been taken aback by the Hollywood icon’s new look.
The 59-year-old Mission: Impossible star was spotted in the stands at Saturday’s game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants and seemed to be in good spirits amongst the fans at Oracle Park and was posing for pictures, including one with fellow movie star Danny Glover.

However, many thought Cruise looked a little different, leading some to speculate that he’d either had plastic surgery done or that it was a lookalike that somehow fooled everyone.

Gonna spend the rest of tonight and all of tomorrow wondering if some random dude convinced the Giants he was Tom Cruise.

Alright it’s Tom Cruise. He’s talking to Danny Glover, unless he has Glover fooled as well. pic.twitter.com/wmZvxALuab

Am I the only one who thinks this isn’t Tom Cruise but just some random dude who looks kind of like him? https://t.co/xhxI7ANCB6

However, a few people defended the actor and accused some of body shaming the star with their comments.
listen i don’t like tom cruise at all (AT ALL), but i’m seriously sick of twitter trashing people for their weight fluctuations. people are allowed to gain and lose weight, and it’s really nunya!!! stop being fatphobic!

People are so nasty about Tom Cruise’s appearance. People are allowed to age and gain weight or take medications like let people LIVE in their own bodies, damn.

Ok back the hell up people! He doesn’t look like he’s had fillers, he looks like he’s gained weight! Could be for a film role or could be he’s done back 2 back action movies for last 2 decades! He’s 59 years old! Body shaming men or women is not OK! https://t.co/SlrnpqzYsy

This isn’t the first time that Cruise’s features have prompted discussion this year. People were equally confused after Cruise was pictured outside a curry house in Birmingham, England in August, where he was filming scenes for Mission: Impossible 7.
It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Tom Cruise to Asha's Birmingham yesterday evening 🌟

Tom ordered our famous Chicken Tikka Masala and enjoyed it so much that as soon as he had finished, he ordered it all over again - The greatest compliment 😋 pic.twitter.com/gemd7QJUEg
Cruise has been firmly in the headlines this year as his filming schedule for Mission: Impossible 7 and the eighth film in the franchise has taken him all over the globe, including landing a helicopter in someone’s back garden in Warwickshire. He’s also been spotted a host of sporting events including Wimbledon, the Euro 2020 final and the British Grand Prix.
