Who has had the more successful career in Hollywood?

[shopthatwrecks]

Tom...and he has more control over his projects.....even tho Will produces also

top gun: maverick gone show boys he still winnin when it drops...

 

[shopthatwrecks]

Will having a better personality does nothing but make him better at social media. Doesnt impact his filmography. His 21st century has been pure ass

lol pure ass..when he gave up the ass in six degrees...out the gate

why was tom cruise allowed to go far up in Scientology compared to other actors who are involved with Scientology?

 

[Reggie]

Cruise and tbh it's not even close. The man has been relevant since the 80's and seems to still be hitting his stride. Multiple blockbusters and franchises that have made a ton of money. Will is my dude but he aint fukking with Tom's longevity and variety in roles.

 

[BlackDiBiase]

this was difficult, but all in all. i give it to will smith.

they are still both huge stars but will is slightly more popular and that was harder to do.

if will had half his discography including fresh prince he still would be a formidable star but dude has many many epics.

because there are not too many more successful than these two scientologist.

 

[Ill-Mind]

I wanna say Will, but I can't deny the fact that Tom has a better catalog at this point

[mastermind]

Cruise been doing this since ‘83, and is still churning out hits.

 

[dem bath salts]

Tom. Blockbuster Gawd by miles. Will is more likable though.

 

[daemonova]

Tom is the GOAT movie star and does a ton of his own stunts, he really drove the helicopter solo in mission impossible. Maybe if Will picked better roles.

and he flying the plane in Maverick this year, will smith didn't fly the plane in Independence Day

 

[daemonova]

When was the last time Will made a good movie?

not counting bad boys for life
suicide squad was good to me, but I won't count that, niccas was in love with Marvel's pretty colors
Focus was alright
MIB 3 was alright

looks like I am legend

 

[Red Shield]

I like Will.... but Tom Cruise has pretty much been on a 40 year run at this point. Gotta give it to Tom

 

[KING WILL]

Cruise...

Less bad movie choices, prolly more total movies, w/ more control.

Higher Net Worth..


But, like someone said, Will was posed to be a rapper and turned into the biggest movie star in the world at 1 time.

Will is pretty much loved and accepted by everyone.


So, does starting point and overall expectations factor in to who was more successful???




OAN for me personally, id take Will's catalog over Tom's..

Bad Boys, Ali, MIB, Independence Day, Enemy of the State..

What Will needs is a Training Day, that's not an obvious attempt of him trying to pull off a Training Day.

He’s not flying jets in Maverick, they are alot more complex and require way more (military) training than a helicopter. They basically have a pilot in front of Tom but the way they film it, it looks real. But apparently he flys something in maverick but def not the jets
