Surprising revelation! Tom Cruise considered marrying Scarlett Johansson before ultimately choosing Katie Holmes after his breakup with Penelope Cruz.

Tom Cruise, a Hollywood star, had three marriages: Mimi Rogers (1987-1990), Nicole Kidman (1990-2001), and Katie Holmes (2006-2012). His time with Holmes got much attention, but they split due to parenting differences and Scientology issues.

Before Holmes, Cruise sought the "perfect" wife, considering actresses like Scarlett Johansson, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba, Kate Bosworth, and Sofia Vergara with Scientology's help. It's unclear if they were contacted.

Their surprising divorce in 2012 after 11 days of legal proceedings hid the reasons, but it's believed Holmes aimed to protect their daughter, Suri, from Scientology. Holmes got primary custody; Cruise's visitation rights are rumored limited.

Cruise, known for daring stunts in "Mission Impossible," faced criticism for comments on postpartum depression, revealed by Brooke Shields. Despite personal highs and lows, he remains a Hollywood icon, captivating audiences with his talent and dedication.
