| Rock and roll star ... Tom Cruise as character Stacee Jaxx with groupies |
TOM Cruise is rocking a brand new look, sporting tight trousers and tattoos as
he poses topless with two groupies.
But Tom's wife Katie Holmes has no need to worry, as the megastar was in
character for his upcoming role in movie musical Rock Of Ages.
Tom, 49, will portray rocker Stacee Jaxx — currently being played by X
Factor winner Shayne Ward in a London stage version — in the summer
flick.
But speaking to W Magazine, Tom explained how it was his wife Katie, 33, and
daughter Suri, 6, who led to him playing the rock wildman.
Tom said: “Kate 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.”
Hollywood megastar Tom also told how he had no problems with any of the
dancing — as he's been impressing the ladies with his moves from a
young age.
He revealed: "I learned how to dance watching Soul Train.
"I noticed that if a guy could dance, he’d get a lot of attention and
girls would want to dance with him.
"I worked very hard at imitating those moves.”

But after he'd mastered singing and dancing for the role, he decided he
couldn't play the rocker unless he had an animal companion.
He explained: "I was thinking about the character, and I said: 'You know
what? I need a monkey'.
"Adam said: 'What the f*** are you talking about?' And I said: 'I’m
serious — I need a monkey'.
"When Stacee’s not onstage, he’s kind of sad. And I thought: 'This guy
has to have a monkey that’s his best friend'.
"Adam found this baboon. He sent me the baboon’s audition tape, and I
said: 'The baboon’s name has to be Hey Man'.
"Stacee Jaxx doesn’t work without Hey Man.”
