Rock of Ages director Adam Shankman tweeted the first photo of Tom Cruise in character as an ’80s rocker named Stacee Jaxx on the first day of filming. Cruise, 48, looks pretty ripped in this debut photo from the set of the big screen musical based on the critically acclaimed Broadway musical.
Whether or not he can actually handle rocking out (remember when he strutted in his underwear lip-synching to “Old Time Rock ‘n Roll” in Risky Business?), we’ll have to wait to judge for ourselves when Rock of Ages hits theaters in June 2012.
In addition to Cruise, other actors rocking out in Rock of Ages include Julianne Hough, Russell Brand, Mary J Blige, Alec Baldwin, and Diego Boneta.
Official Synopsis: Rock of Ages tells the story of small town girl Sherrie and city boy Drew, who meet on the Sunset Strip while pursuing their Hollywood dreams. Their rock ‘n’ roll romance is told through the heart-pounding hits of Def Leppard, Joan Jett, Journey, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Poison, Whitesnake and more.
