Tom Cruise is reportedly working on a new movie titled "Mena," and word has it that the Hollywood A-lister went under the knife to look his best for the project.

According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, sources working on Tom Cruise's new movie purportedly noticed a significant change on the actor's looks. Although the actor has reportedly denied undergoing plastic surgery, his looks allegedly says otherwise.

The article quoted a report from Life & Style Magazine alleging that Tom Cruise purportedly spent a lot of cash to look decades younger for the promotion of his other new movie, "Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation."

"Though he has always had an ageless quality, Tom is now making a big effort to look young," Life & Style reportedly wrote. "One source believes that he could have shelled out over $50,000 to have his own fat harvested and injected in to his face. The results are good, but not quite natural looking."

Celeb Dirty Laundry says Tom Cruise purportedly aspires to look the way he did in 1996, when the original "Mission: Impossible" was released.

According to Daily Mail, the actor indeed looked happy and blooming on the set of "Mena" in Atlanta, Georgia. The actor showed a big smile in between takes of the Doug Liman-directed film. "Mena" reportedly revolves around the story of US drug smuggler Barry Seal.

"Seal transported contraband for the CIA and the Medellin cartel, making trips to Mexico and the city Mena, Arkansas in the 1980s," Daily Mail reported about the plot of the film. "The illegal activity is thought to have all occurred under the noses of Ronald Reagan, George Bush and then-Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton."

A new project may be a good reason to pump up an actor's looks, but there are also speculations that it is not the only explanation why Tom Cruise aspires to look good. The actor also allegedly wants to look younger because he is purportedly back in the dating game after moving on from his divorce with Katie Holmes.
