Tom Berenger is an icon of 1980s cinema, famed for his roles in blockbuster hits like Platoon and The Big Chill. Now 77, the Oscar-nominated actor boasts an extensive filmography spanning diverse genres, from sci-fi hits like Inception to gritty crime thrillers like Training Day.
While Tom is a household name worldwide, his life away from the spotlight is just as compelling. Here is everything you need to know about his private life, including his four marriages and six children.

Who is Tom’s wife?
Tom and Laura met on a blind date. “A mutual friend fixed us up at a small dinner party of about eight of us,” Tom previously told Marathon Coach.
Following their wedding on September 8, 2012, the couple were pictured together later that month at the Emmy Awards, where Tom also celebrated winning the gong for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie for his role as Jim Vance in Hatfields & McCoys.
Embracing a unique lifestyle, the couple own a luxury motorhome built by custom coach manufacturer Marathon. Explaining the decision, Laura told the company: “Our goal was to live in the Marathon right now, because we didn’t know where we wanted to buy, what we wanted to do.
“I see big houses with yards and I get creeped out, because we waited so long to sell ours; I just still don’t want one. We ended up buying a lot in Naples because we loved being there – so that’s going to be our little winter hideaway,” added Laura, who was raised by Italian parents in Huntington, West Virginia.
Laura added that the pair like to visit Europe, with Italy a favourite destination.
