Tom Cruise graced a charity gala in London as a distinguished VIP guest alongside Prince William last week and turned heads.
The event, which was held at the elegant Raffles London in the historic Old War Office building, was an exquisite affair in support of London’s Air Ambulance Charity.
As one of the evening’s highlights, the Top Gun: Maverick star, 61, captivated the attention of the audience on February 7th, with some noticing a noticeable “change” in his appearance.
Some fans on Instagram commented on his alleged “facelift,” accusing him of altering his features and now looking “unrecognizable.”
Tom Cruise Sparks 'Facelift' Rumors On Instagram After London Charity Event Appearance
At the gathering, Cruise donned a classic tuxedo and bow tie and had longer brown locks. The Mission Impossible alum beamed in photos with the Prince of Wales, 41, who donned a similar classic get-up.
Entertainment Tonight uploaded photos of Cruise and the Duke of Cambridge at the event on Instagram, and many fans shared their thoughts on the Eyes Wide Shut star in the comments section. "Is that really Tom??" one wrote as another accused him of getting a "facelift."
Someone else added: "Why does Tom Cruise look like he had a mouth transplant?" One other commented: "Tommy boy got a face lift!" Others stressed that Cruise still looked radiant and healthy. "Tom still looks so great," one wrote as another replied: "I say he looks very good and relaxed."
This also isn't the first time that Cruise has sparked facelift or plastic surgery rumors. In an interview with the U.S. Sun last year, plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Westreich shared that in his opinion, it’s "possible that he may have spent up to $50,000 on cosmetic treatments," including some "very heavy" Botox.
"Overall, I think Tom is just getting started with it all," Westreich hinted to the pub, before comparing the Minority Report actor's current appearance to his appearance from a few months prior.
"In the Oscar run-up, Tom's forehead looked as smooth as a drum. His eyebrows also look a little lower than usual. If Botox is done fairly heavily, then the brows can drop, and this looks like pretty heavy Botox to me on his forehead."
The doctor added: "Usually male actors want very light treatments because they want to maintain their ability to make expressions. Looking at past photos of Tom smiling, his brows go up and he has lines on his forehead."
"Throughout the course of Tom's life, he may have done a couple of minor cosmetic treatments," Westreich thought, adding, "There's the possibility of functional rhinoplasty, of laser skin, resurfacing, and perhaps even a little lipo under his chin."
"Looking at past photos of Tom, I thought that maybe he'd had the functional rhinoplasty in the pre-2005 era," Westreich continued. Despite many people thinking the Knight and Day star had filler, Westreich doesn’t think it's one of the alleged procedures he had done, saying: "I also don't see any real evidence of filler anywhere on his face, so maybe the new Botox is just the beginning."
"I don't think he's done between his eyebrows, because those lines still look pretty deep. He's had those lines for years and is probably being careful." Weistreich finished off by saying, "I don't think he's going to start doing filler because he doesn't look like a volume-deficient guy."
And as far as Cruise having a facelift goes, Westreich thought he's "nowhere near needing a facelift or anything like that," nor does he "think he's had one."
