Tom Cruise Rocks Out With W

Last week we got a Tom Cruise — or should we say Stacee Jaxx– sighting, with his two female groupies, on the cover of the June Music Issue of W magazine(Checkout the cover here). Likewise, a shirtless, tattooed and long-haired Cruise continues to channel his ‘Rock Of Ages‘ character Stacee Jaxx in his rebellious editorial, lensed by Mario Sorrenti and styled by Arianne Phillips. Just like on the cover, models Edita Vilkeviciute and Abbey Lee Kershaw reprise their roles as Cruise’s untamed groupies.

The 49-year-old actor reveals to the magazine why he decided to do a musical at this point in his career.

“Kate [Holmes, Cruise’s wife] loves musicals. She sings and dances, and we kind of went through the history of musicals together. And Suri loved Hairspray. With kids, you watch everything over and over; I watched Hairspray 15 times with Suri. 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”, Cruise explains to W.

Tom Cruise: Tattooed And Shirtless For W

Heightening the buzz over his portrayal of Stacee Jaxx in the big screen adaptation of Broadway show ‘Rock Of Ages’, Tom Cruise appears in character on the cover of the June issue of W magazine.

Channeling the 80s womanizing metal rocker on the Mario Sorrenti-shot cover, the 49-year-old actor doesn’t look a day over 40, with his impressive physique and chiseled face. Tom sports long hair, heavy eye-liner and outlandish body art, as he gets wild and sexy with models Edita Vilkeviciute and Abbey Lee Kershaw.

Tom tells the magazine the following on his portrayal of the role.

“I knew we had to push the sexuality
because of the nature of the character and the songs. He’s singing, ‘I want to know what love is’”, Tom points out to W.
