Tom Cruise tweeted a barechested photo of himself to promote his upcoming movie Rock of Ages.

Cruise plays the role of rock star Stacee Jaxx. Based on the Broadway musical Rock of Ages (which the movie is adapted from), Jaxx is a selfish character who breaks up a young couple by having sex with the woman.

In the end, he ends up a washed-up has-been who flees to Uruguay from statutory rape charges.

The movie Rock of Ages is set to be released on June 1, 2012.
