He’s been in the public eye more than half his life, but as he approaches 60 Tom Cruise is looking better than ever due to ‘laying off excessive filler’, experts have claimed.The Top Gun star, 59, made a swoon-worthy appearance on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival last night, looking dapper in a black tuxedo and a beachy hair look.It’s a stark contrast from seven months ago, when the actor – famed for his good looks in his youth – looked unrecognisable at a baseball game in San Francisco.

The father-of-three sparked speculation he had fillers after sporting a fuller face during the LA Dodgers match, but looked significantly trimmer last night. But now sporting a much more natural and distinguished appearance, he appears to have transformed his looks once again, as he continues his action star career.

 ‘In the infamous October 2021 picture, you can see that Tom looked swollen and puffy, which could be due to excessive filler, post-procedure swelling, or weight gain,’ she explained.’Often, surgical procedures such as a platysmal plasty, or neck lift, combined with a mid-facelift could create this type of swelling in these areas.

 ‘I think Tom looked amazing at the Top Gun premiere – he looks fresher. ‘He may have had Botox or filler. ‘At almost 60, Tom’s hairline has remained relatively the same, although slightly thinning, which does suggest he may have had hair transplants. ‘His jawline looks more contoured, which could be the result of skin tightening treatments like Morpheus8, a microneedling treatment for treatment of fine lines & wrinkles’.Amar Suchde, founder of AMS Aesthetics, added that men can loose fat in their face as they age – but fine lines can add to a man’s look. ‘As they age, many men tend to lose some facial fat distribution along with elastin and fibres in the skin,’ he told FEAMIL.’This, along with lines around the eyes, can actually look very attractive on a man, although in October, it looks like Tom sought to replenish some of the facial fat he’d naturally lost, resulting in a noticeably plumper look.’I suspect his aim was to try and replenish some of the features he’d lost and to give support to his facial structure, and this would most likely be carried out through a combination of fillers and Botox although of course, we don’t know if he’d put on weight around this time, too. ‘Either way, Tom has managed to maintain his noted jawline over the years, which in many men can become lost and begin to droop.’In addition, his glowing complexion may indicate that Tom is having laser treatment, possibly Profhilo, which is a popular skin boosting treatment.

Cruise’s former manager has said he is ‘obsessed with his looks’ and ‘wants to stay youthful’.

I think he will do whatever it takes to preserve his youthful image as long as possible and will fight anything that stands in his way.’His first publicity shoot took a whole day as he struck up dozens of poses in outfits including a tank top and tight jeans.’Other clients would have you take just one headshot but Tommy was intent on perfection,’ the former manager said.In September, Dr Nyla Raja, Founder of Medispa clinics in Cheshire and Harley Street, which has a raft of high profile clients, says the Mission Impossible star may well have ‘overindulged’ on fillers causing a more ‘puffy’ look.Dr Nyla told FEMAIL: ‘It would appear Tom has overindulged in anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers which has actually had an adverse effect on his appearance. ‘Without careful consideration to each individual patients’ facial structures’ results of fillers can make faces ‘appear distorted and unnatural’.’1986: In his early career Tom was seen as a heart-throb and famed for his chiselled jawline, he is pictured in 1986 in Top Gun1998: Tom is pictured with Dustin Hoffman in  Rain Man in 1988 –  one of his many critically acclaimed roles Meanwhile, Dr Ross Perry, Medical Director of the Cosmedics skin clinics, suggests Cruise’s latest look, which has disconcerted some of his fans, could be a double whammy of a few extra pounds and a trip to a cosmetic clinic.He says: ‘Tom looks significantly different in his most recent pictures and I would suggest it’s a combination of weight gain and dermal fillers.’Dr Tijion Esho, star of Bodyfixers on Netflix agrees there’s definitely some signs of natural ageing at play: ‘As we age, we lose mid face volume and our skin elasticity reduces, which is why our skin sags and gets loose.’We also notice increase of fatty tissue in the lower aspects of our face and you can see this as he is showing a bit more volume around the chin and neck which can be due to this.’As time goes on skin that was smooth and tight gets loose and sags. This is completely natural, normal and will happen to most of us as we age.’Heart throb: The actor starred in many swoon-worthy roles throughout the 1990s, including Days of Thunder (left) and A Few Good Men (right) Into the noughties: The actor appeared more relaxed in his look after Y2K.

In 2016, BAFTA viewers were shocked by the Rain Man star’s frozen appearance.Leading the queries was Ruth Davidson, then Leader of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party, who tweeted: ‘Tom Cruise’s face. I don’t know what he’s doing to it, but he’s beginning to look like a late-90s era Sandi Toksvig. #EEBAFTAs.’ Tom was previously asked about surgery rumours back in a 2012 interview with Playboy magazine and he denied having gone under the knife.He said: ‘I haven’t, and I never would.’Cosmetic surgeon Mr Sultan Hassan FRCS(Plast) of Elite Surgical – who has not treated the actor – told FEMAIL at the time: ‘I suspect he has had botulinum toxin injections to his glabellar, forehead and crow’s feet areas within the last few weeks. I personally feel his injector has used far too much toxin resulting in a rather unnatural shiny look.’If you look carefully at his eyebrow positions they look heavy and rather flat, low and wider apart. You could argue that this is a rather poor result. In addition his cheek bone, cheeks and jawline looks filled out, which in the absence of general weight gain is likely due to the use of a collagen filler to plump these areas out – just look carefully at his tear troughs and you can see they are filled out.’Miles Berry MS, FRCS consultant plastic surgeon of Cosmeticsurgery-partners.co.uk, remarked: ‘I would agree that Botox is likely to produce the smooth, unlined forehead. The cheeks are looking a tad more full too so dermal fillers would be high on the list too.’As to the ‘sheen’, the most likely culprit would be some form of resurfacing, probably a chemical peel.’Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are pictured in 2005, when the actor started to sport a fuller face as he entered his forties  Tom is pictured at the 2008 Met Gala, aged 46, still looking youthful and bagging roles as a leading man The star has sported many looks throughout the years, left in 2015.   September wasn’t the first time Tom has shown a ‘puffy face’.

They worked up to the supersonic jets by going up in a succession of slower planes first over many months.
