Tom Cruise Aged With Makeup

64-year-old Tom Cruise was aged with heavy makeup to play a 65-year-old man.

Tom Cruise appears in two side-by-side images: one as himself and one transformed with heavy makeup to look slightly older. The joke is that extensive aging makeup was used to portray a man only one year older than Cruise, making the casting and makeup decision seem absurdly overdramatic. It is used as a reaction to unnecessary effort or an exaggerated solution to a minor difference in age.
