What Happened?! ‘Bloated’ & ‘Frozen’ Tom Cruise Unveils Freaky New Face

Tom Cruise was a surprise presenter at the BAFTA Film Awards last night, but his unannounced presence wasn’t the only shocker! When Tom stepped onstage to announce the winner of the Best Film category (which went to the cast and crew of “The Revenant”), his face set tongues wagging — not with the usual lust, but rather gossip about his markedly different appearance!

British viewers besieged Twitter with chatter about the actor’s face as he was appearing on the BBC 1 channel, with many suggesting that the 53-year-old heartthrob may have had surgery! Scottish broadcaster Muriel Gray tweeted: “Tragedy of Tom Cruise having ruined his lovely face, that was ageing beautifully, is that it's gone for ever now…”'

Many commenters called the star’s face “frozen” and “inflated,” and noted that his remarkably wrinkle-free forehead might be the result of Botox. For example, @onxka tweeted: “Is it me or does Tom Cruise’s face ooze with botox injections?”

Twitter user @hwallop wrote: “What has Tom Cruise done to his face? Scarier than the bear in Revenant.” Another observer, @lisab7us, tweeted: “I see Tom Cruise has gone and bought himself a new face. #BAFTA.”

When BAFTA host Stephen Fry introduced Tom, he joked that he had found the American superstar sleeping backstage, having never left after the 2015 BAFTAs!

Handsome Tom is no stranger to rumors of plastic surgery. In a 2012 interview with “Playboy,” he was asked about having work done and replied simply: “I haven’t, and I never would.”
