Tom Cruise has put on a much sexier look while posing bare-chested for the June issue of the W magazine. The pictorial was realized to promote Cruise’s most recent movie, “Rock of Ages” where he plays the part of a rock musician called Stacee Jaxx.

The “Mission Impossible” star has accepted a role that is totally different than the ones we have seen so far. In his next film, “Rock of Ages”, Tom Cruise will impersonate Stacee Jaxx, a careless rock singer who is known for the numerous relationships he has with various women.

The 49-year-old actor went through a complete makeover in order to look more like a superstar and less like a secret agent. His body was temporarily covered with tattoos illustrating guns and dragons, whereas his nails were painted with nail polish. Rock stars would not look as tough as they usually appear if it hadn’t been for their accessories; therefore, Tom Cruise was constrained to wear silver jewelries to complete his badass image.

Reporters at W magazine were the first to get a glimpse of the character during the pictorial that they realized for their June issue. This is how they found out that Tom Cruise will be donning tattoos, nail polish and even eye makeup in the adaptation of the ’80s-themed Broadway musical. The actor was also accompanied by two beautiful “groupies” that kept their hands on Cruise throughout the entire photo shoot.

Cruise told reporters that he understood he would have to push his sexuality in order to interpret Stacee Jaxx as soon as he read the script. It was not the character’s profession that made him reach this conclusion, but the nature of the songs he played. After all, Jaxx is interpreting “I want to know what love is,” was the final remark that Cruise made towards the end of his interview.

The movie is due to air next month and producers think it will be a hit due to its amazing cast. Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Paul Giamatti, Russell Brand, Julianne Hough, Bryan Cranston and Tom Cruise will all appear in the motion picture.
