Tom Cruise and William Mapother

Tom Cruise has established himself as more than just a familiar name thanks to a stellar career spanning four decades; he is a global icon. Many of his fans know the most minute details about him but still may not know that Cruise changed his identity when he started performing. Did you know that he is related to “Lost” star William Mapother? They’re first cousins, but Tom discarded his last name, “Mapother,” once his career took off.

Remarkably, the pair have even appeared in five movies together, such as “Vanilla Sky,” “Minority Report,” “Magnolia,” “Born on the Fourth of July,” and “Mission: Impossible II.”
