Everyone knows who Tom Cruise is. He has been in a zillion movies, and he's is turning the big 5-0 today. But we know there are some things you're dying to know...

Can you ‘handle the truth?’

1. Mission NOT impossible: Tom is open about growing up with dyslexia and ADHD.
2. He once rescued a woman from a hit and run accident. He even took her to the hospital and paid for her injuries. 
3. He saved two people from a burning sailboat (again with the rescues!).
4. The heroic antics aren’t over yet. The superman-like actor pushed two tots out of the way from an oncoming crowd. (We told you.)
5. Tom is founding Board Member for the Hollywood Education and Literacy Project, which is an organization that helps students learn to read.
6. As a student he was bullied regularly in the 15 different schools he attended.
7. He was honored for his philanthropic actions in 2007 at a charity gala by Mentor LA.
8. In Japan, October 10^th is “Tom Cruise Day.”
9. He enrolled in seminary school at 14 to become a priest.
10. He was voted the Hollywood Star Americans want to see least on the big screen. What’s with all the hate people?
11. Tom visited wounded war soldiers in Germany when on tour for “Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol.”

Now it's time for you to do some action-star-worthy missions yourself.
