Handsome Man ハンサムな男 Let me introduce two people who changed my life. Tom Cruise and Natsuko Toda. You might not know her, a female Japanese translator. Tom came to Japan. He was famous as the actor of the movie, Top Gun. Natsuko had written the Japanese subtitles of it . I saw a picture of them in a magazine at the time. Natsuko was in her fifties and Tom was in his twenties. In the picture, Tom hugged Natsuko from her behind nicely and their smiles were very beautiful. I was really surprised because we don’t have customs of bracing someone except for family. I couldn’t stop looking at the picture and said to myself. “If you can speak English, you could get such a nice hug of a handsome man even if you are fifty years old..” It’s been more than twenty five years since then. Still the idea of being hugged from a handsome man is my great motivation of learning English. Oh, I have to say it is just ONE of the reasons I'm keep learning. ^^)

Tom Cruise and Natsuko Toda.
You might not know her, she's a female Japanese translator.

.
I saw a picture of them in a magazine at the time.
Natsuko was in her fifties and Tom was in his twenties. In the picture, Tom hugged Natsuko from her behind nicely and their smiles were very beautiful. I was really surprised because we don’t have customs of embracing** someone except for family.
I couldn’t stop looking at the picture and said to myself: ***
“If you can speak English, you could get such a nice hug of a handsome man even if you are fifty years old..”

It’s been more than twenty five years since then.

やっぱり、知津子さんのノートブックが笑ってしまった。すごい!And I don't even like Tom Cruise, but this made me smile.

* I changed the 点 to a colon, because the phrase "Let me introduce" leads immediately to the names of the two people. The colon is useful before providing a list. ("I bought three things at the store: milk, eggs, and coffee.") ("Colon" is also the name for a part of the body that helps digest food - 大腸. But I don't think there is a connection).  

** To brace means to hold something in place. ("Braces" hold teeth in the correct place). To embrace means to hold something with your arms. "To embrace an idea" = 信じることです. But usually, we use embrace the way you meant it: to hug.

*** Here, again, I changed your 点 into a colon. This time, it is because you are telling us what you said to yourself. (I said to myself: "I think I will tell 知津子さん about colons.")

Let me introduce two people who changed my life: Tom Cruise and Natsuko Toda.
You might not know Natsuko, but she is a Japanese translator.
When Tom came to Japan, he was a famous actor in the movie Top Gun, which Natsuko had written the Japanese subtitles for.
During that time, I saw a picture of them in a magazine.
Natsuko was in her fifties and Tom was in his twenties. In the picture, Tom hugged Natsuko nicely from behind and their smiles were very beautiful. I was really surprised because we don’t have customs of bracing someone except for family.
I couldn’t stop looking at the picture and said to myself, “If you can speak English, you could get such a nice hug of a handsome man even if you are fifty years old..”

It’s been more than twenty five years since then.
Still the idea of being hugged from a handsome man is my great motivation of learning English.
Oh, I have to say it is just ONE of the reasons I'm keep learning. ^^)

Note: Everything was great and I everything that you wrote. The only things that I really changed were some of your punctuations (mostly commas) and the order of your phrases (Example: instead of "at the time" at the end I put "During that time" at the beginning. Overall great job and good luck! :)
