Intro
In Rock of Ages, director Adam Shankman's new film adaption of Chris D'Arienzo's 2006 Broadway musical of the same name, Tom Cruise manages to look even more awkward than his usual loony Scientologist self. Well, douchier, at least. Playing Stacee Jaxx, the lead singer of the disbanding rock group Arsenal, he's all bare chest, scarves, leather pants, fur coats, and attitude, the kind of d-bag who's just begging for an open-hand slap upside his snarled lips.
But is Jaxx the most smackable rocker from films? Find out as we honor of the decidedly bad look for Cruise by counting down The 10 Douchiest Looking Rock Star Characters in Movies.
