It's hard to think of some of today's biggest Hollywood actors without thinking of the Top Gun star, as he's become one of the most prominent faces in the movie and action industry over the last few decades.
Now that he's officially hit his 60s, many film and pop culture enthusiasts are beginning to pay attention to how he's been aging, and over the last few months, Tom has been involved in numerous headlines regarding filler and Botox rumors.
Many media outlets and fans have noticed that although it looks like his face hasn't changed much, here and there, new photos of him come out that have people raising their eyebrows.
Recently, The Daily Mail shared before-and-after photos of the actor showing off his facial transformation between 2006 and 2025 on Instagram. In the pictures, he can be seen flashing the same smile, yet his cheeks seem a bit fuller than usual in the more current shot.

Like many aging celebrities, the 63-year-old has been called out numerous times for the way his face has changed, and some plastic surgeons have even begun weighing in, speculating that he's been receiving filler and Botox, with some going as far as to note he might've potentially gotten a facelift.
Although Tom has yet to acknowledge these rumors, fans are continuing to weigh in on his appearance and have left various comments with their opinions on his transformation under the viral Instagram post. Many of them debated whether or not he must have "good genes" or just "good docs."
"I won't deny he's looking pretty good for a guy in his 60s, but he definitely has had filler and Botox," commented an Instagram user.
"Most pictures I see, he looks old and bloated from facial injections," added another.
One user felt that Tom was "aging better than some celebrities," as another commented he is "aging well."
