Super Bowl LIX fans got a major surprise on Sunday when Tom Cruise appeared on their screens before the big game. As he hyped up the showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, viewers could not help but notice something striking— the 62-year-old acting legend looked remarkably different from his previous appearances.

He added, “long, winding road here has all led to this.” As Cruise said that there are “always new heights waiting to be reached,” the clip then shifted to dramatic images of some of the biggest stars on the field, surrounded by an overwhelming sea of microphones arranged in a semicircle.
Those featured in the clip included Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, DeAndre Hopkins, and Xavier Worthy while Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith, Saquon Barkley, and A.J. Brown represented the Philadelphia Eagles.
