3 million follow the "fake" Tom Cruise.. This is how Miles Fisher turned his life using Tik Tok

He is handsome, talented, and has all the characteristics of a movie star, but he suffers from a fundamental flaw that makes all doors shut in his face, which is that he looks incredibly similar to American actor Tom Cruise.

That's the story of actor Miles Fisher, who now has more than 3.5 million followers on TikTok because of this similarity.

Strange as it may sound, how does Tom Cruise look like a handsome icon in his youth and be such a curse on him?

Tom Cruise's lookalike Miles Fisher had to look for other ways to reach people, but this time instead of disavowing the similarity he decided to use it.

graduation joke

Miles Fisher was an ordinary American young man, like many others, who decided to study English literature at the university, and became qualified for several jobs, including teaching. He did not think that this was the real beginning of his tragedy, which ended with him being one of the most important accounts on Tik Tok.

He had to write the letter, then memorize it and deliver it in front of about 32,000 people, including his family and parents, in addition to the university staff.

Prepare and rehearse for this big day without interruption, today he is one of the brightest students at Harvard University with a history spanning three centuries, but when he was introduced instead of his name he heard the phrase "Tom Cruise lookalike"!

He knew at this point that he had been chosen not for his academic excellence, or for his ability to deliver speeches from memory, but because he was the laughingstock of a graduating class. It was the moment he had waited so long for, but instead was humiliated, not presented in positive terms such as "handsome as a movie hero." , they only saw in him a boy who looks like an American star only.

At that moment he felt as if his identity had been taken from him, of course he knew he looked like Tom Cruise, so people would stop him in the street to tell him that, before the graduation party that was a nice thing, but then he started thinking, as long as he looks like a movie star, why not become One of the stars?

immigration to hollywood

That's why Miles Fisher moved to Los Angeles in 2006, and instead of working with an agent looking for him for the right roles, he decided to use technology to his advantage. At this point, Google acquired YouTube, and the world went crazy with this platform. Which shows videos filmed by ordinary people, so he decided instead of going himself to search for films that need actors in simple roles, to provide videos on YouTube that attract those responsible for choosing the actors.

At this point, he presented parody videos, whether about Hollywood actors' agencies, or famous television and film works, and of course Tom Cruise, some of these clips exceeded a million views, and then he began to have doubts. Why do YouTube surfers watch his clips?

Because of him or because of who is imitating him? All the other videos couldn't achieve the same number of views as the "Tom Cruise" simulation videos.

He tried to evade this trap relentlessly, tried talking in a different tone of voice and dialect, and changed his clothes and hairstyle, but the directors and casting officials always saw a version similar to Tom Cruise, which affected his acting career, which he dreamed of in Hollywood.

Despite his work with great actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Clint Eastwood and Angelina Jolie, they all did not praise his acting abilities, but on the famous similarities, and he discovered that he entered the field of acting until he proves that he is not just a "Tom Cruise lookalike". on it.

Escape to Tom Cruise

Miles Fisher decided to make these clips professional, with several ground rules, such as not providing any immoral content, or anything related to the Tom Cruise family.

Although he had never met the latter, he was able to imitate every little detail based on watching his films, some of which have become iconic over the years.

Miles Fisher believes that he participated in some way in the success of the latest Tom Cruise movie, "Top Gun", or at least in some way maintained the popularity of this actor among young people who use modern applications such as Tik Tok, unlike other stars of his generation, but in The end what made him happy is that today people stop him in the street and don't ask him "Are you Tom Cruise?"
