Millions went to sleep in shape and woke up officially overweight and many work up suddenly becoming obese...

Tom Cruise has always been considered grossly obese due to him being short and having so much muscle.
No idea where you got your information.

Tom Cruise's BMI was last publicized as being around 26. 26 is not "grossly obese." The number falls into the "overweight" category but not obese, not slightly obese, not grossly obese, not morbidly obese.
