Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise is reportedly a fan of an expensive facial treatment which involves mixing nightingale excrement with rice bran and water and applying as a face mask - and is thrilled with the "fantastic" boost his complexion has had since he began the procedures.

"He recently started experimenting with the nightingale poo facial. It was recommended by a Hollywood pal and the results have been fantastic."

Tom is said to be "proud" to have turned to the treatment - of which Victoria Beckham is rumoured to be a fan - instead of turning to cosmetic surgery as he gets older.

The source added to Now magazine: "Tom doesn't see splashing out on the facials as him being vain or weird - in fact, he points out there are much wackier fads out there.

"And he's proud of himself for avoiding the temptations of plastic surgery."
