Tom Cruise’s childhood wish granted in his new movie; Well almost!

Tom Cruise, in his new World War II epic ‘Valkyrie’ plays Claus von Stauffenberg, a colonel in the Germany army who led a conspiracy to assassinate Hitler towards the end of the second world war. Although he fails to assasinate the dictator, he actually comes very close to accomplishing his childhood wish – that of killing Adolf Hitler.

The ‘Top Gun’ star has revealed that in his younger days he ” always wanted to kill Hitler, I hated him.”

“As a child studying history and looking at documents, I wondered, why didn’t someone stand up and try to stop it? When I read the script, it was entertaining and informative to know what the challenges were and what it was like to be in the environment.” he reportedly said.

Tom Cruise is one of the most famuos actors of Hollywood. Forbes magazine ranked him as the world’s most powerful celebrity in 2006.He has been nominated for three Academy Awards and won three Golden Globe Awards. His first leading role was the 1983 film Risky Business, which has been described as “A Generation-X classic, and a career-maker” for the actor. After playing the role of a heroic naval pilot in the popular and financially successful 1986 film Top Gun, Cruise continued in this vein, playing a secret agent in a series of Mission: Impossible action films in the 1990s and 2000s.
