Entertainment Weekly is reporting on the first picture of Tom Cruise as aging rocker character Stacee Jaxx in the upcoming film adaptation of “Rock of Ages”.

The picture was first released on Cruise’s website TomCruise.com. In the picture, which you can see below, Cruise is shirtless, rocking out Iggy Pop-style just like a rock star would in the 1980s. Personally, I didn’t know Cruise was that ripped.

The film, starring Diego Gonzalez Boneta along with Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Mary J. Blige, Julianne Hough, and Paul Giamatti. The film is an adaptation of the popular Broadway musical which follows an up-and-coming rocker who has aspirations for the big time, but finds he has to fight off an aging rock star for the love of a small-town girl who has dreams of becoming an actress. The film is set to be in theaters June 1, 2012.

After looking at the picture below, give us your thoughts on it. What do you think about it? Does this make you more antsy to see the film in theaters? Did you know Cruise was in that good of shape? And how real do you think his hair is in this picture? Sound off in the comments section below.
