10 Hollywood Actors Who Married Superfans

8. Tom Cruise And Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes was just a little girl dreaming of marrying a handsome prince when Top Gun hit cinemas in 1986, and said prince turned out to be dashing pilot Pete €œMaverick€ Mitchell. Tom Cruise stole a lot of hearts with his role in Tony Scott€™s aviation classic, and Holmes was one of many that fell victim to his charm. Her high school friend Angela Domschot spilled the beans on Katie€™s crush on her future husband, claiming that Holmes kept a picture of Cruise in her school textbook and would dedicate her daily prayers to him in the hope that no harm would come to star before she made it to Hollywood to woo him. The apparent dream come true was doomed for an unhappy ending, however, with other home-town friends claiming that Cruise wouldn€™t allow her to scream during childbirth among other Scientology related horror stories. The pair divorced in 2012, and 53-year-old Cruise is now set to wed for the fourth time, this time to his personal assistant, 22-year-old Brit Emily Thomas. What€™s a little age gap when you€™re in love? It€™s only 31 years, after all.
