Tom Cruise’s full shoot from W Magazine!

Last weed we got our first look at Tom Cruise’s cover of W Magazine. Now, we’re getting a look inside the magazine that features a highly tattooed and shirtless Tom Cruise, posing as his character Stacee Jaxx in ‘Rock of Ages’.
In the photo shoot, she poses with some blonde groupies. There are some NSFW pictures from the shoot which you can see here. Call me crazy, but I just find these pictures weird. It’s like I know that’s the crazy Tom Cruise in the pictures – not Stacee Jaxx, trying to be all sexy. I wouldn’t call Tom sexy. I’m not sure what I’d call him – but sexy isn’t one of them.
Tom explains in the interview why his character in ‘Rock of Ages’ is so serious. He didn’t want to come off as a cartoonish character from the Broadway musical.
Why Tom’s Stacee Jaxx is so serious “I didn’t want to imitate all these other rock stars. He had to be unique. If the audience doesn’t immediately buy into his absolute greatness, there’s no movie journey. Without that, you have nothing. Kate loves musicals. She sings and dances, and we kind of went through the history of musicals together. And Suri loved Hairspray. I thought Adam Shankman did a great job directing the movie, so I arranged to meet him and said, ‘Where’s our musical?’ He came back and said, ‘Rock of Ages.’ We went and saw it in L.A., and for me, I didn’t know how to play the character like that. I had to find my own Stacee Jaxx.”
Stacee’s monkey was Tom’s idea: “I needed to find out if I could really sing! And then I had to learn how to play guitar. I’m very good at air guitar and air drums, but I had never played an actual guitar. After working for weeks on Stacee’s technical skills, I was thinking about the character, and I said, ‘You know what? I need a monkey.’ Adam said, ‘What the f&#* are you talking about?’ And I said, ‘I’m serious, I need a monkey.’ When Stacee’s not onstage, he’s kind of sad. And I thought, This guy has to have a monkey that’s his best friend. Adam found this baboon. He sent me the baboon’s audition tape, and I said, ‘The baboon’s name has to be Hey Man. Stacee Jaxx doesn’t work without Hey Man.’”
Tom loved to dance as a teenager: “You know what? I did the scene from Risky Business around the house. I would sing Bob Seger‚ my mother worked, my sisters were out, and I’d turn the music up. I learned how to dance watching SoulTrain. I noticed that if a guy could dance, he’d get a lot of attention and girls would want to dance with him. I worked very hard at imitating those moves.”
I am excited to see this movie, even if it’s going to be painfully full of cheese. I just hope it turns out better than Adam Shankman’s hot mess, ‘Hairspray’. You can see more pictures – and read more from the interview at the W site.
