Inside Tom Cruise’s Life: The Shocking Extent His Assistants Control Every Moment, Revealed by Bert Kreischer
Tom Cruise himself used to be an assistant before his film career boomed
Before he started working in the entertainment industry, Tom Cruise himself worked as a superintendent’s assistant on the Upper West Side of New York City.
“I would have to go down and fix their stuff. I was a handyman before,” Cruise said during a September appearance on Good Morning America.

“I had many jobs growing up. I would go down to fix their heating. I shoveled the ice every day. I made sure that the garbage was taken out. I took care of it. Whatever you need.”
When asked if he gave this job “200%” as well as he does with his films, he said, “I know. I can’t help it. I’m like, ‘I want to fix it. I’ve got this!’”
In 2015, Cruise was briefly at the center of a romance rumor involving his then-22-year-old assistant, Emily Thomas.
Reports claimed he had fallen for Thomas, whom he had hired as his assistant while filming Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and a few insiders claimed he was preparing to propose.

The speculation gained traction partly because Thomas bore a resemblance to Cruise’s former wife, Katie Holmes, and the pair were frequently photographed together on film sets.
The rumors faded after Thomas herself appeared to shut down the speculation by changing her Facebook profile picture to one showing her with her actual boyfriend, Alex Roberts, a British director, whom she later married.
“Down to earth guy,” one person commented
