Tom Cruise turns 61 on Monday, marking more than four decades since he broke on to the Hollywood scene and started his ascension to the mega-famous movie star we know today.

Born on July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, New York, Cruise got his start in bit movie parts before a breakout year in 1983, in which he starred in All the Right Moves, The Outsiders, and his breakthrough hit, Risky Business.

But it was in the 1990s when Cruise began to hit his stride as box office magic. From 1992-96, he made history when he starred in five consecutive movies that grossed $100 million or more in the United States: A Few Good Men, The Firm, Interview With the Vampire, Mission: Impossible and Jerry Maguire .

His starring role as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible has also been a blockbuster boon. So far, the franchise's six films have grossed over $3 billion worldwide, with the seventh -- Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One -- coming to theaters July 12.

"It's unbelievable," Cruise told ET while premiering Dead Reckoning in Rome last month. "I do pinch myself every day.... It's something that I've never taken for granted ... I just feel very privileged."

And then, of course, there's Top Gun. The iconic original flyboy flick was the highest-grossing domestic film in 1986, and when Cruise returned to the role of Capt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell last year for Top Gun: Maverick, it was a triumph in more ways than one. The film became Cruise's first to earn over a billion dollars worldwide and was a major success for movie theaters just starting to dig their way out of COVID shutdown difficulties.

"I make movies for audiences," the actor told ET. "I work so hard and I think about them the whole time and when you see how excited they are and how much they appreciate it - it's just beautiful."

In total, the man often referred to as "the last true movie star" has made himself a $10 billion career so far -- and he doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

However, despite the money, and despite the moniker, for Cruise it's all about the craft.

"It's not about being a movie star," he insisted. "It's about being an actor and concentrating on that and finding roles that are going to be a challenge for me... Movie stardom can come and go, but your craft within, you can work forever if you keep working hard at that."

Your Mission: Enjoy These 61 Facts About Tom Cruise

Tom cruise wasn't quite born on the fourth of july, but he is celebrating his birthday the only way he knows how—by releasing another action epic that he risked life and limb to make..

So, Tom Cruise is 61 now—and he continues to be doing something right.

The reassuringly youthful actor is, once again, celebrating his birthday while on a press tour for a long-awaited action epic that entailed performing his own death-defying stunts and leaving his co-stars marveling over his work ethic, graciousness and charm, his set-commanding skills still second to none.

"There is no one else like him," Simon Pegg told E! News while talking up their latest outing, Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One , in theaters July 12. "He is the last movie star—of the old kind, you know."

No offense to the Chalamets of the world, but...we know.

Making it no secret that he does it all for you— for us , the audience!—Cruise approached the release of Top Gun: Maverick last year as if the fate of movies themselves was hanging in the balance . Which, coming out of the pandemic, it kinda was.

And right on schedule (minus the years lost to COVID-related delays) Cruise is back at it with the first half of Dead Reckoning , the seventh of what will be at least eight movies in the Mission: Impossible franchise, which kicked off in 1996 back when the star being lowered into a room on a wire was considered a mind-blowing action sequence.

Now, he calls riding a motorcycle off a cliff (at the beginning of the shoot, just in case , um... the end result necessitated a rewrite) his "happy place."

"It's full-on," he told E! News' Keltie Knight at the Rome premiere of Dead Reckoning Part One . "My life's an adventure, I've always wanted that since I was a little kid." And, though he looks extremely-rested, he quipped that he tries not to sleep.

Because that would be a break in the action, now wouldn't it?

Read on for more tirelessly fascinating facts about birthday boy Tom Cruise:

1. Thomas Cruise Mapother IV was born on July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, N.Y., to Thomas Cruise Mapother III , an electrical engineer, and Mary Lee Pfeiffer , both of Louisville, Ky. (His grandfather and great-grandfather were both Thomas Cruise Mapother, as well.)

2. He has two older sisters, Lee Anne and Marian , and one younger sister, Catherine , nicknamed Cass.

3. Cruise wanted to act from around the time he was 4 and started doing impressions of everyone from Donald Duck to Humphrey Bogart and Elvis Presley .

4. In 1974, when the family was living in Ottawa, Mary Lee packed up and took the kids back to Louisville. She officially divorced Tom III in August 1975 and, six weeks later, he remarried, briefly. Joan Lebendiger , recently widowed, had four kids, one of whom later told biographer Andrew Morton that they never saw their stepbrother Tom again after the wedding.

"As a kid, I had a lot of hidden anger about that. I'd get hit, and I didn't understand it," Cruise recalled to Vanity Fair in 1994.

"He was the kind of guy who really got picked on a lot at school himself when he was growing up," he said of his father. "He had also been small, though he ended up being six foot two. People had been quite brutal to him. Inside, I believe he was a really sensitive individual." Tom III could also "actually be quite loving."

But in 2006 he told Parade that his dad was "a bully and a coward—the person where, if something goes wrong, they kick you. It was a great lesson in my life, how he'd lull you in, make you feel safe and then, bang!"

Cruise visited his father in the hospital before he died of cancer in 1984 and Tom III said he'd get better and they would "'talk about the whole thing,'" the actor told VF , but that never came to pass.

5. Tom was very close to his mother, whom he described to James Lipton on Inside the Actors Studio as "a very warm, charismatic woman, very kind, very generous." She worked four jobs at any given time to take care of them, and Tom had a paper route to pitch in. "Every night I'd come home, bathe my feet and sit in the family room, and Tom would massage my feet for a half-hour," Mary Lee recalled to Rolling Stone . (She died at 80 in 2017.)

6. He was also protective of his sisters and, as the man of the house, took on the role of scrutinizing their boyfriends when they'd come by to meet the family.

7. Cruise was raised Catholic and he spent his freshman year of high school at St. Francis Seminary in Cincinnati, after a priest named Father Ric Schneider gave a talk at his (also Catholic) school in Louisville. "He was a typical teenager, trying to find his way in life," Schneider told the New York Daily News in 2013. "We would give them an IQ test, and he just about made the cut. The cutoff is 110, and he scored exactly 110."

It's been rumored that Cruise considered entering the priesthood, but he doesn't it remember it that way. "We didn't have the money back then, and I went for the education for a year, and it was free," Cruise has explained.

8. Mary Lee got remarried to Jack South in 1978 and the whole family moved to New Jersey when Tom was 16.

"In the beginning, I felt threatened by my stepfather," Cruise told Rolling Stone . "There's a part of you that's in love with your mother. But he is such a wise, smart man. He loved my mother so much that he took us all in, four young people. We'd bet on football games, and he was a terrible bettor, so I'd make lots of money."

As for his dad, Tom III, who had recently passed away, "I think that he felt remorse for a lot that had happened. He was a person who did not have a huge influence on me in my teens; the values and motivation really came from my stepfather. But he was important. Really important. It's all sort of complex. There wasn't one thing I felt."

9. He was always a daredevil, jumping off things, riding his bike too fast, sometimes into walls and, here and there, breaking bones. In high school he joined the glee club and did plays. He was also an athlete, over the years dabbling in soccer, baseball, basketball, football and ice hockey, and he wrestled. Sports and acting were where he really stood out and, shocker, the ladies have loved him since grammar school.

"I was a wild kid," Cruise admitted. "I'd cut school. Everything had to do with my wanting always to push the envelope to see: where do I stand with myself? How far can I go?"

10. Cruise has been open about his battle with dyslexia, calling himself "a functional illiterate" in school, though he "loved learning. I wanted to learn, but I knew I had failed in the system."

"My energy was always all over the place. Reading was not at the top of my list, because it took me so long," he told Cameron Crowe for Interview in 1986. "When I wrote a paper, my mother would help me with it. I would take a test and get very nervous. I would skip questions and skip lines. I've gotten better. I've learned to control my eyes. I used to have to use my finger all the time. I just wasn't relaxed about it."

11. Senior year of high school he got kicked off the football team after he was caught drinking, according to Morton, but that left him time to audition for the school musical, Guys and Dolls . He played Nathan Detroit, and a commercial director who happened to catch a performance told him he should pursue acting professionally. So, he started going to New York on weekends to audition for musicals—and he missed his graduation ceremony while performing in an amateur production of Godspell .

12. Cruise made his movie debut in the 1981 drama Taps , in a role that was bigger than the one he was originally cast in "because you could see right away that he had a giant talent," former Paramount head Sherry Lansing said in Stephen Galloway 's 2017 biography Leading Lady . "He was always extremely focused and exceptionally polite."

13. On the set of Francis Ford Coppola 's The Outsiders , featuring a veritable who's-who of '80s-era heartthrobs , prankster Cruise scrawled "Helter Skelter" on co-star Diane Lane 's mirror and put honey on her toilet seat.

14. The only direction Cruise received for his iconic Risky Business dance to "Old Time Rock and Roll" was one line in the script: "Joel dances in underwear through the house." He ad-libbed the rest, grabbing the candlestick, "using it as a guitar, jumping on the table. I waxed half the floor and kept the other half dirty, so I could slide in on my socks. As we went along, I threw more stuff in," he shared with Crowe in 1986.

15. Cruise dated his Risky Business co-star Rebecca De Mornay , who called him a "pure person." She told Rolling Stone in 1986, "There's something earnest and virtuous about him that's quite rare." According to Taps co-star Sean Penn , they were out at a club in New York one night and after realizing that a girl he was talking to was trying to pick him up, Cruise "screamed at her, 'I have a girlfriend I'm in love with!'" (Perhaps at the time readers thought Penn might be exaggerating.) He and De Mornay started dating in the summer of 1983 and maintained a long-distance relationship while he shot Ridley Scott 's Legend in London, but broke up when he returned to the U.S. to start making Top Gun .

16. Top Gun producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson envisioned no one other than Cruise playing Maverick after they saw a magazine story about the elite flying school at San Diego's Miramar Naval Air Station and went down to see the hot shots in person. "From the first time we went down to Miramar—even before the script was written—we said, 'These guys are Tom Cruises,'" Bruckheimer told Rolling Stone .

17. Although Cruise also told Rolling Stone in 1986 that he wasn't sure he would be able to get married in his "present state of mind," he tied the knot with Mimi Rogers on May 9, 1987, two years after meeting her at a dinner party. Emilio Estevez was Cruise's best man.

18. Paul Newman , his co-star in 1987's The Color of Money , turned him on to race car driving and Cruise has been feeling the need for speed on land and in the air (and sometimes on the water) ever since. Years later the student became the teacher when, in 2010, Cruise taught Zac Efron about motorcycles. "I don't know," Efron told Details when asked why Cruise offered to do that. "I don't even want to know. It's just so cool that he gave a s--t, the fact that he cared at all."

19. Mimi and her first husband, Jim Rogers , were both members of the Church of Scientology (Jim was a high-level auditor) and she's said to have introduced Cruise to the organization, giving him L. Ron Hubbard 's Dianetics and other literature. His immersion in Scientology coincided with the release of Top Gun and the actor becoming one of the biggest stars in the world, and to this day Cruise remains the most famous member of the church.

20. Despite being critically panned, 1988's Cocktail , starring Cruise as a playboy bartender, gave Disney its biggest opening weekend ever at the time: $11.8 million.

21. According to Morton's 2008 biography Tom Cruise , director Oliver Stone wanted Tom to be injected with a chemical that would have rendered him temporarily paralyzed so he could better identify with the role of real-life Vietnam War veteran and activist Ron Kovic in 1989's Born on the Fourth of July . The insurance company understandably shut that idea down. The film still won two Oscars, best editing and best director for Stone, so it worked out.

22. People named Cruise its "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1990. Soon after, he and Rogers divorced. When Vanity Fair asked about his first marriage in 1994, Cruise replied tersely , "It was a long time ago. I really don't think about it."

23. Cruise met Nicole Kidman during casting for the racing drama Days of Thunder and they tied the knot on Dec. 24, 1990. They adopted two children, Isabella and Connor , and starred in two more movies together, Far and Away and Eyes Wide Shut .

After Isabella arrived, Cruise told Vanity Fair in 1994 , "We talked about children from time to time, but there was always the work. But then we went, When is it ever going to be the right time? That's how the conversation started. You're lying in bed at night and you're trying to sleep, so you roll over and you go, What would happen if we had this in our life?

"One of the things that Nic and I talk about is that now suddenly we're a family. We're at that point where we're trying to define where we are. Can we still party? Are we really boring? Oh, my God . . . we're old!"

24. Disney had Cruise in mind when they created the look of the title character in 1992's Aladdin . "There's a confidence with all of his attitudes and his poses," lead animator Glen Keane said in a DVD extras feature.

25. An old tabloid go-to back in the 1980s and '90s was to claim that this or that star was gay, and Cruise was aware that the rumor was out there.

"First of all, I don't think it's an indictment," Cruise told Vanity Fair in 1994. "But I hadn't heard those rumors till about three months ago myself… I don't know why they say it. I've heard everything from I've cheated on my wife to my wife was there on the set of The Firm because she was pissed off about my love scene on the beach. It's not true, but people are going to say what they want to say."

26. Cruise wanted Brian De Palma to direct Mission: Impossible , which would mark his debut as a producer with his agent turned partner Paula Wagner , even though De Palma was in movie jail following several flops. Cruise even deferred his $20 million salary (not including his back-end deal) so they could raise the movie's budget. Mission accomplished: M:I made almost $500 million worldwide and spawned a franchise . De Palma, however, didn't attend the film's premiere in May 1996, reportedly because he and Cruise didn't always see eye to eye during production.

27. Shooting M:I , Cruise insisted they use a fan big enough to create the 120 mile-per-hour wind he'd be facing if he was really clinging to a bullet train while a helicopter exploded behind him. A crew member told Galloway, "He said, 'I want the wind blowing in my face and I want my jaws to be blowing.' That's Tom. He's a guy's guy."

28. The intense Eyes Wide Shut shoot was scheduled to last four months but ended up keeping Tom and Nicole in London for 18 months. Also during their time in England, as fate would have it, they attended Princess Diana 's funeral in September 1997, as did with Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg , who were in town making Saving Private Ryan .

29. "All I can say is that I hope we are together when we are 80," Nicole Kidman told Talk in 2000. "I can't say we will be, but I will be so devastated if we are not." Alas, they announced their separation on Feb. 5, 2001. "She knows why, and I know why," Cruise cryptically told Vanity Fair later that year. "She's the mother of my children, and I wish her well. And I think that you just move on. And I don't say that lightly. I don't say that with anything."

30. Penélope Cruz successfully sued an Australian tabloid in June 2003, winning damages and a retraction over a story claiming she and then-boyfriend Cruise had postponed their impending marriage because she had cheated on him. They broke up in January 2004 after more than two years of dating, a source telling People the relationship "just ran its course."

31. The Church of Scientology denied a 2012 Vanity Fair report that Homeland actress Nazanin Boniadi , then a church member, had basically been recruited to date Cruise for a few months, starting in October 2004 with a group outing that included renting the skating rink at Rockefeller Center and dinner at Nobu. "I'd rather not talk about that," Boniadi told the New York Post in 2013.

32. Cruise specifically held out for J.J. Abrams to direct Mission: Impossible III —Abrams' feature film debut—after watching some episodes of Alias . Paramount was freaking out, wanting M:I3 for a summer 2005 tentpole release, which wasn't going to happen if Cruise and Abrams—busy at the moment with a show called Lost —got their way, but it turned out Cruise had an ace up his sleeve. Spielberg was ready to roll with War of the Worlds in time to give Paramount the summer blockbuster it needed while they waited for Abrams to become available.

33. On May 23, 2005, a giddy Cruise raised his arms in victory, got down on one knee and did a couple of fist pumps, and then jumped up on Oprah Winfrey 's couch (also twice), fueled by love for his new girlfriend, Katie Holmes . "You're gone," the talk show host observed.

"I've got so much energy, I can't help it," Cruise said.

They were both laughing hysterically and the studio audience was cheering, but… maybe you had to be there?

Lest anyone forget, Holmes was at the taping and Winfrey led a chant for her to come out. "She's gonna run!" Cruise exclaimed. "She is freaking out ." Then he took off for backstage to go get her, the camera trailing him, and once they had emerged Cruise enveloped the Dawson's Creek star in a hug.

That moment unwittingly set the tone for Cruise and Holmes' entire relationship, romantic to many but to everyone… just a lot .

34. A month later, Cruise accused Matt Lauer of being "glib" when the Today host questioned his take on mental health care—specifically, his dismissal of psychiatry and his criticism of Brooke Shields ' "irresponsible" use of medication to treat postpartum depression.

35. Cruise and Holmes' daughter, Suri Cruise , was born on April 18, 2006.

36. Mission: Impossible III came out on May 5, 2006, and did… fine. It was (and remains) the lowest-grossing installment of the franchise, making $134 million domestically, but more memorably it marked the moment where folks started wondering if Cruise had lost his movie-star mojo, if his unadulterated zeal had turned off audiences for good. Not making it better: Paramount severed its 14-year relationship with Cruise's production company that August, and then-Viacom Chairman Sumner Redstone actually told the Wall Street Journal , "We don't think that someone who effectuates creative suicide and costs the company revenue should be on the lot. His recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount."

37. Suri was introduced to the world on the September 2006 cover of Vanity Fair , zipped up in her father's leather jacket akin to how Paul McCartney snuggled daughter Mary on the cover of his 1970 solo album McCartney . The first glimpse at the cover was a huge get for Katie Couric 's first night as lead anchor of the CBS Evening News .

38. Cruise and Holmes' wedding at the 15th-century Castello Orsini-Odescalchi in Rome on Nov. 18, 2016, reportedly cost upward of $3 million . Guest Giorgio Armani designed the bride's ceremony and reception dresses and attendees included Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith , John Travolta and Kelly Preston , David and Victoria Beckham , Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy , Leah Remini and Angelo Pagan , and Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony . Andrea Bocelli performed.

39. Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige was Cruise's best man. According to Remini, who left the church in 2013, a traditional Scientology wedding ceremony includes the vow "to never close their eyes in sleep on a disagreement or an upset."

40. Shields and husband Chris Henchy were also in attendance, Cruise having apologized for publicly disparaging his Endless Love co-star's use of medication to treat postpartum depression. "If you get invited to that wedding, you go," Shields recalled on The Jenny McCarthy Show in 2016. The actress even provided the bride's "something old": an antique enamel compact.

41. 2010's Knight and Day with Cameron Diaz was widely treated as some sort of "comeback" movie for Cruise, a test to see if he could still have a monster action movie hit after Mission: Impossible III underwhelmed.

"I don't understand why people think that," he marveled to the U.K.'s Telegraph . "I've been working the whole time."

42. His roles in the interim had included his unrecognizable—and hilarious—surprise turn as crass, bullying, bald and fat studio exec Les Grossman in Ben Stiller 's Tropic Thunder , for which he earned a Golden Globe nomination.

"I had about a dozen people making the silicone prosthetics for his head, neck, chest, and hands," makeup designer Barney Burman recalled to Grantland . "We made him special gloves. I did the sculpting, someone else did the molds, someone else was casting them. I had six different people punching hairs into the scalp piece, so his entire head was one-at-a-time, hand-punched hairs; his arms were hand-punched one at a time; his chest was hand-punched."

Added Aida Caefer , "I made the fat suits for Tom Cruise. He was all for the more ridiculous, the better . The suit went from his neck all the way down to his ankles…The character moved around a lot and he was so soaked in sweat that we had rotating suits for him—one in the morning and one after lunch."

"Tom choreographed all his own moves," Stiller said. "I remember watching him do this stuff and thinking this is so frigging funny."

43. The rumor that Cruise turned down the role of Iron Man, which would have changed the whole vibe of the Marvel Universe, is not true, he says. "Not close," he told ComicBook.com in 2018 when asked if he was really almost Tony Stark. "Not close, and I love Robert Downey Jr. I can't imagine anyone else in that role, and I think it's perfect for him."

44. For 2011's Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol , Cruise hung off the edge of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai—the world's tallest building—without a double (though with the appropriate wires). And while he'd been doing as much of his own physical laboring as possible for decades, this reinvigorated Cruise's reputation as the guy who does all the death-defying stunts the insurance companies will allow. The film's $695 million worldwide box office also signaled that Cruise's reputation had preceded him—in a good way.

45. Holmes filed for divorce in June 2012. Her father, attorney Martin Holmes , had helped draft their prenuptial agreement and all was remarkably settled within weeks. And neither of them have ever talked about what happened . They've acknowledged that they were once married to each other, but why it ended has remained anyone's guess. And, oh, how the people have guessed.

46. Eyebrows were raised when the 5-foot-7 Cruise was tapped to play 6-foot-5 vigilante Jack Reacher from Lee Childs ' best-selling novel series.

"Size in my books is a metaphor for an unstoppable force," Childs explained. "Cruise portrays that in his own way."

47. Not as initially OK with the creative license was Interview With the Vampire author Ann Rice , who according to Vanity Fair was livid in the early '90s when Cruise was cast to play Lestat, having written the character with Rutger Hauer in mind.

"It always helps if one is controversial in casting a movie," director Neil Jordan said. "I just thought that if Tom was willing to go the distance this character demands—and he was—then we could end up with something quite extraordinary, and we did."

48. Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation was legendary before it hit theaters in 2015 for Cruise's viral airplane stunt, in which he hung onto the door of an Airbus A400M as it took off. For real. He also did his own motorcycle chase and learned how to hold his breath for six and a half minutes for the underwater document swap.

49. He was back on the bike for Mission: Impossible—Fallout and "when the [safety] rigs didn't work, we just went for it," director Christopher McQuarrie told the New York Times . "Everything that you're seeing Tom doing, he's doing free riding on cold cobblestones. Sometimes there was rain; sometimes there was morning dew. There was always a danger of skidding and wiping out."

Cruise also did his own skydiving along with Henry Cavill 's stunt double, dangled from a rope attached to a flying helicopter, and piloted a helicopter for a mid-air chase scene, getting his certification in six weeks. It normally takes three months, McQuarrie said, but Cruise trained for 16 hours a day to cut the time in half.

"Tom was having the time of his life," the director said.

50. Cruise has social media accounts but they are strictly for un-risky business, and he prefers to not know everything that's happening online. "Sometimes I have to for work, but I keep it very limited," he told E! News in 2016. "I don't spend time doing that kind of stuff."

51. Cruise isn't one to let himself go in between physically taxing roles. "Sea-kayaking, caving, fencing, treadmill, weights, rock-climbing, hiking… I jog… I do so many different activities," he has said.

In fact, he refers to his personal workout space—a version of which he takes with him everywhere—as the "Pain Cave."

"Only the motivated can enter," he explained to the AP at the 2017 premiere of The Mummy . "All you got to do is just be motivated. Anyone can come in, we have the crew come in, and we just make it available to everyone."

As co-star Jake Johnson revealed: "You start every morning with the daily challenge. So before work starts, you're in there. His hair and makeup team is in there, his crew is in there, so there's about 15, 20 people every day doing their squats and jumping jacks. And then I kinda got into it with him…I wanted to be in a Tom Cruise movie and do it the Tom Cruise way."

That includes, alas, avoiding sugar.

"I love sugar," Cruise assured James Corden on The Late Late Show in 2018, "but I can't eat it because when I'm training, I'm doing all these movies—so I send it to everyone." And then, "I wait for the calls. Like, 'tell me about it.'"

52. Don't tell anyone, but Cruise is human: Aside from what he did to himself running around in childhood, he threw out his back making Legend ; developed an ulcer while shooting Eyes Wide Shut ; tore his labrum scaling a cliff at Dead Horse Point, Utah, for Mission: Impossible 2 ; and broke an ankle on Mission: Impossible—Fallout .

"It was the easy one where I'm running and I jump from one building to the next," Cruise later described the fateful stunt on The Tonight Show .

53. But this guy commits . In addition to doing three months of helicopter pilot training in six weeks and learning how to hold his breath like he's David Blaine , he played pool for 12 hours a day to play Fast Eddie Felson's protegee in The Color of Money. He lost 18 pounds and read classic books out loud to work on his diction to play centuries-old Lestat in Interview With the Vampire. He learned German to better embody a World War II-era officer in Valkyrie . He actually spent a year and a half learning how to fly a helicopter for Mission: Impossible—Fallout (before his whirlwind certification).

54. "I haven't seen him in awhile, but he has sent me a birthday gift every year since I was 11 years old," Dakota Fanning said on Watch What Happens Live in 2016 about her dad in 2005's War of the Worlds . "Beautiful gifts, it's really kind. I always think, 'Oh, when I'm 18, he'll probably stop. Oh, 21, he'll stop. But every year."

What does Team Cruise pick out? "It's usually shoes," the actress, then 22, shared.

55. In 1986, he told Cameron Crowe , "Let's face it, I'm not saving lives here. I feel fortunate, but this is just one aspect of my life. I love my work, but my family is very important to me, too. You pick up the paper and see that there are many things happening outside my little world."

Since then, the real-life heroics include, all within a few years in the '90s: He lifted two boys over a barricade to prevent them being crushed at the Mission: Impossible premiere in London; he sent his own yacht's skiff to rescue a family whose sailboat was on fire in the Mediterranean in 1996; he rushed to the aid of a woman who had been mugged in London; and he paid the $7,000 emergency room bill for an uninsured cashier who was injured in a hit and run—an accident Cruise witnessed.

"It's just an impulse," Cruise told People in 2000 about his spate of good deeds. "I was never a Boy Scout, so maybe I'm making up for it now."

Or, as he said in the video of an interview for his church that went viral in 2008, "You can't drive past an accident, because as a Scientologist you are the only one who can help"

56. Though he's the most famous face of Scientology, Cruise is incredibly protective of his beliefs and doesn't say too much about it publicly. But in October 2016, he told ITV at the London premiere of Jack Reacher: Never Go Back , "It's something that has helped me incredibly in my life. I've been a Scientologist for over 30 years. It's something that is, you know...without it, I wouldn't be where I am. So, it's a beautiful religion. I'm incredibly proud."

57. Cruise has been nominated for three Oscars: Best Supporting Actor for Magnolia and Best Actor for Jerry Maguire and Born on the Fourth of July . He has seven Golden Globe nominations and three wins, for those three films.

58. He returned all three Globes in 2021 as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association came under fire for its lack of diversity in its ranks.

59. Cruise's movies have collectively grossed more than $11 billion at the box office worldwide, though Top Gun: Maverick is his first film to cross the billion-dollar threshold on its own.

Prior to the release of the 36-years-in-the-making, pandemic-delayed sequel, his highest-grossing movie worldwide was Mission: Impossible—Fallout , with $791 million. Domestically, his biggest film was War of the Worlds with $234 million—though adjusted for inflation, it was the original Top Gun ($180 million in 1986 vs. $444 million in 2022). Top Gun: Maverick has made $534 million in the U.S.

60. Of course those are real F-18s and the actors are really flying in Top Gun: Maverick . "It is aggressive. You can't act that, the distortion in the face," Cruise explained in a making-of featurette . "They're pulling 7 1/2, 8 G's. That's 1,600 pounds of force."

As he recalled to Empire , he told the studio before they got started, "'You don't know how hard this movie's going to be. No-one's ever done this before.'" But he was firm about not wanting to do any "CGI stuff."

And in the end, Cruise said, "There's never been an aerial sequence shot this way. I don't know if there ever will be again, to be honest."

61. When Tom Cruise wants to tell you he appreciates you, he sends dessert. The White Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake from Doan's Bakery in Woodland Hills, Calif., has become the stuff of holiday-gift-giving legend, sent to the likes of Tom Hanks , Rosie O'Donnell and, more recently, Top Gun: Maverick co-stars Miles Teller and Jon Hamm .

When December comes around, the staff at Hanks' production company Playtone "start eyeing what mail has come in," Hanks shared on the Mythical Kitchen YouTube series Last Meals . "Is the big box coming in? Are we getting what has essentially been called 'the Tom Cruise cake?'"

Tom Cruise, 61, drops it low and ‘does the splits’ at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday

Share this with

Tom Cruise, Victoria Beckham and David Beckham at Victoria's 50th birthday

Tom Cruise was said to be particularly ‘exuberant’ on Saturday evening at Victoria Beckham ’s 50th birthday bash, which saw Posh Spice exit the festivities on David Beckham ’s back.

A-listers from London and beyond flocked to Oswald’s private members club in Mayfair for the reported £250,000 celebration , with attendees including the Top Gun star, 61, Eva Longoria, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Tana and Gordon Ramsay, and of course – all of the Spice Girls.

That’s right: Victoria, Mel C, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner reunited for a rendition of their hit song Stop, as David posted the moment on social media, sending fans wild.

But perhaps the most surprising story from the night is that Cruise was – firstly – there, and secondly ‘did the splits’, according to the Daily Mail , whose source claims he was ‘particularly enthusiastic’ throughout the evening.

Another guest told The Mirror the Hollywood star ‘seemed the most exuberant of everyone’ and noted that although he’s in his sixties, you would ‘never know it’.

The Mission Impossible actor also rescued a photographer who had a topple outside the venue, proving his impressive agility yet again.

Of course, the whole Beckham clan were out for the occasion, including David, 48, Brooklyn, 25; Romeo, 21; Cruz, 19; and Harper Seven, 12.

Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz, 29, didn’t join the celebrations but wrote a loving birthday message to Victoria on Instagram saying she was ‘so sad’ not to be there.

Victoria – who arrived at the private members’ club with the help of two sticks after she broke her foot earlier this year – wore a light blue, sheer, floor-length gown, looking radiant with her hair in loose waves.

Meanwhile, it was a black tie affair for the Beckham blokes, as they dressed to the nines for a family picture flanking the birthday queen and Harper, who wore a satin white slip dress.

Posh Spice was said to get emotional when her family, including David, gave their speeches.

‘It was all super-sweet and Victoria looked very proud, not to mention a little teary although she did have a few drinks,’ the source told The Mirror.

Victoria re-posted her husband’s video of her and the Spice Girls getting nostalgic to social media, and wrote: ‘Best night ever! Happy Birthday to me!I love you all so much!’

Mel B wore a stunning red gown with a string neck, while Emma opted for a floor-length black velvet number. Mel C also rocked a black gown, with cutouts on the sides, and Geri opted for a white party dress, with ruffled decoration on the chest.

Posh appeared to have the time of her life at her birthday celebration, leaving the venue in the early hours at 3am.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Tom Cruise has “cooled things down” with younger gal pal Elsina Khayrova, according to insiders. But the “Top Gun” star and the Russian socialite are still in touch, we hear.

“Tom felt things were moving too fast, especially in the media,” an insider said of the relationship, adding, “he wasn’t there yet, so he’s cooled things down, but they are still in touch.”

The insider also told us that, “Tom wants to go slow with whoever he sees, as he feels he’s been burned by several of his exes.”

The source said that Cruise had wanted to keep the romance more private.

The parting of ways comes after Khayrova recently became Cruise’s official girlfriend , according to reports, and sources told Page Six that he’d even met her kids .

Our source said that the door isn’t completely closed. “Some in Tom’s group of acquaintances say it’s over, but with Tom you never really know how that will happen,” they added.

Then again, Khayrova also has “her own fortune that allows her to do as she pleases.”

The “Risky Business” star, 61, was first romantically linked to the millionaire divorcee, 36, in December after the pair cozied up at a party in London. Since then, the pair had been spending a lot of time together.

According to The Sun which first reported that the couple has broken up, “There are no hard feelings between them and for Tom, their relationship simply ran its course.”

Sources told the outlet that Cruise wants to remain friends as they live in the same apartment block in London.

“To end things on a bad note would have been awkward if they’d bumped into each other in the lift,” an insider told the outlet.

Page Six has reached out to Cruise’s reps for comment.

Cruise met Khayrova when a friend brought her to one of his exclusive Sunday tea parties at his Hyde Park penthouse late last year, a source previously told Page Six .

Insiders told us that Cruise feels “more comfortable” in London than in Los Angeles, and had been hosting the weekly gatherings in the afternoon for an elite crowd.

Tom Cruise is 'growing closer' to his glamorous Russian socialite girlfriend - and has been regularly spending nights at her swanky London apartment, friends have told MailOnline.

Cruise, 61 and Elsina Khayrova, 36, both attended a glittering gala dinner last week in support of London's Air Ambulance Charity at the five-star Raffles Hotel where Prince William was guest of honour.

Cruise and his new love interest arrived at the glitzy event separately but friends say they have been spending more and more time together with the Hollywood actor a regular visitor to her lavish £10million apartment in Knightsbridge.

A source told MailOnline that the pair are now official, explaining: 'It's well known within Elsina's circle that she and Tom are now an item.

'They've grown very close over the past few weeks but take a lot of care not to be photographed together because they want to maintain their privacy.

They continued: 'Tom has been staying the night at Elsina's apartment, which as you can imagine, is a very beautiful place. They enjoy hanging out together and despite their wealth, do a lot of the things that normal couples do.'

The source revealed that the couple have also dined privately at a number of exclusive London restaurants and have also enjoyed strolls together through Hyde Park , while in disguise, which is close to Elsina's home.

MailOnline has contacted Tom's representatives for comment.

Khayrova posted pictures and a video of herself in a stunning black evening dress while attending the London Air Ambulance Black and White gala which raised £1.2 million.

Cruise was pictured chatting with Prince William who jokingly recalled his stylish fashion choice from the 2022 premiere of Top Gun: Maverick .

The Prince of Wales, 41, made a return to public engagements at the glitzy gala following the news of his father, King Charles III , cancer diagnosis.

Cruise is a long-term supporter of the charity organisation, and on spotting the actor, William quipped: 'I haven't got my Top Gun slippers on.'

The father-of-three was referring to his playful fashion choice at the Top Gun premiere - a pair of black loafers decorated with planes, reminiscent of the fighter aircraft used in the original 1986 action movie.

The Hollywood actor and Elsina are first believed to have met last December during a party in Mayfair, where they were seen canoodling.

One guest claimed: 'They were inseparable, clearly a couple. He seemed to be besotted with her.

Elsina was previously married to Dimitry Tsvetkov, 43 who claimed that their acrimonious three-year divorce battle cost him an astonishing £150 million.

Speaking to MailOnline after news of his ex-wife's romance with Cruise emerged, he claimed to have spent an astonishing £10million on clothes and another £2million on handbags for her, during their tumultuous 11-year marriage.

He said: 'Irrespective of whoever she's with, Tom Cruise or anybody else, they should be aware that she likes the finer things in life and has expensive and luxurious taste. Tom should keep his eyes and wallet wide open.'

But he added: 'I'm happy for her, I wish her all the best.'

Following the London Air Ambulance gala, Cruise was spotted at a helipad in Battersea, London, as he prepared to leave the UK and head to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas .

He was pictured with a female companion, after piloting the matte black helicopter himself and landing on the helipad but it was not Elsina, who has been posting pictures of herself while on a skiing trip over the weekend in France .

In a speech during last week's gala event Prince William told his audience: 'I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you, also, for the kind messages of support for Catherine and for my father, especially in recent days. It means a great deal to us all.

'It's fair to say the past few weeks have had a rather 'medical' focus. So, I thought I'd come to an air ambulance function to get away from it all!'

There was also a joke for Cruise, known for his daredevil high-flying film stunts, as the royal said: 'Here in London, the current aircraft have served magnificently. But our capital city needs a new fleet.

'And we are Up Against Time. The clue really is in the Appeal's name. By September, we need the two new red birds - decked with the latest kit such as night vision - in our skies.

'I should also take this opportunity to give a mention to my - our - fellow pilot, Tom Cruise. Tom, huge thanks for supporting us tonight.

And if you wouldn't mind not borrowing either of the new helicopters for the next Mission Impossible, it would be appreciated.

'We have all seen on our screens that - how can I put it - you seem to have a different take on 'normal wear and tear' to the rest of us.

'It's not the kind that buffs out, that's for sure.'

Khayrova, 36, is the daughter of a prominent Russian MP and ex-wife of a diamond-trading oligarch and is believed to have met Cruise in December at a party (pictured in 2018)

How Tom Cruise Executed His 'Most Dangerous' Stunt in 'Mission: Impossible –Dead Reckoning Part One'

The death-defying moment in the franchise's seventh installment involves Cruise driving a motorbike off a cliff

Collection Christophel/Alamy

Tom Cruise turned up the action for Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One .

While the film marks the seventh installment in the highly successful franchise, Cruise, 61, made the occasion even more special by challenging himself to perform one of his most dangerous stunts yet.

The death-defying moment involved Cruise driving a motorbike off a cliff, fly off the bike, and parachute to the ground. While fans got a glimpse of the stunt through the film's action-packed trailer in May, Cruise, along with writer-director Christopher McQuarrie , first teased the big moment in 2021 at CinemaCon.

The pair explained in a special behind-the-scenes video at the event that the stunt took 500 hours of skydiving training and 13,000 motorbike jumps to get it just right. The stunt involved Cruise being attached to a set of wires as he rides a speeding motorcycle off of a large ramp before he throws himself from the bike, backed by the safety wires attached to his back.

Speaking about its execution, McQuarrie, 54, explained in the video that it was "by far the most dangerous stunt we've ever done." The clip then ended with Cruise performing the stunt himself, with a crew member saying, " Tom Cruise rode a motorcycle off a cliff six times today."

McQuarrie "tried to kill me," joked Cruise at the New York City premiere.

Christian Black/Paramount Pictures

The film's long-awaited release comes after multiple delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic . According to an official synopsis, it finds Cruise's Ethan Hunt as he and his team are tasked with tracking down "a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands."

During its world premiere in June , Cruise gave a speech about his passion for the franchise and filmmaking. He said in part, "It’s something that I grew up with, that made me and inspired me to dream and want to travel the world. My goal since I was little was to make movies and travel. And not just be a tourist but work in that world and understand their culture."

"Through my movies, I’ve been able to have that because everyone here has allowed me to entertain them," he continued. "It’s a privilege that I have never taken for granted."

Tom Cruise Is a London Boy

Sometimes when God closes a door (Taylor Swift says “So long” ), She opens a window (Tom Cruise does the splits). Cruise is living that life in London, and for him that means break-dancing, doing the splits, and watching the British absolutely lose their crumpets. Cruise has lived in London since 2021 and has, in that time, been at the former queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the British Grand Prix, according to the Mercury News . And now he has attended the most British event of all: Posh Spice’s birthday party. Fortunately, he still has the American propensity to do the most. While at the party, Cruise began break-dancing and ended his routine by doing the splits, according to the Daily Mail . “People were absolutely dumbfounded,” a source mentioned. All we’ll say about that is that if there’s one thing the Mission: Impossible franchise could do to s ecure those Imax screens , it just might be a (gay?) club scene in which Cruise distracts the bad guys by jumping into the splits like a Drag Race contestant. Just an idea.

Reports suggested that the duo attended the event as a couple, almost inseparable from each other during the entirety of the event.

Victoria Beckham Spice Girl Bash Brings Tom Cruise Into Bitter David Beckham, Mark Wahlberg $10M Feud

Tom Cruise Parties With David Beckham After Actor Own Feud With Mark Wahlberg

Tom Cruise has found himself “dragged” into David Beckham and Mark Wahlberg ‘s epic $10 million dollar feud after attending Victoria Beckham ‘s star-studded 50th birthday bash on Saturday night.

As the Mission Impossible star, 61, rocked up at Beckham’s wife’s star-studded birthday bash in London and reportedly did the splits on the dance floor cheered on by the likes of Eva Longoria and the reunited Spice Girls, he was likely oblivious to a storm brewing online.

Us Weekly confirmed that Beckham’s DB Ventures company filed a lawsuit against F45 Training, which is partially owned by his former pal Wahlberg.

The soccer star, 48, alleges in court documents shared by TMZ that F45 “duped” him into signing an endorsement deal but he never received the $10 million he was offered in contract negotiations.

He said he was promised stocks as compensation, which were never delivered after share prices seemingly plummeted.

And as he battles it out with the Boogie Nights actor, a contentious old video has resurfaced adding fuel to the fire.

Little did Beckham’s pal Cruise know that his appearance at the exclusive bash would only stir up his own old feud with Wahlberg and lead to talk of him siding with Beckham in this fresh one.

A 2013 clip started doing the rounds online showing Wahlberg appearing to slam the Top Gun actor for suggesting that sometimes it feels like acting is akin to serving as a soldier. When asked whether shooting a movie feels like being a soldier in Afghanistan, Cruise replied: “That’s what it feels like, and certainly on this last movie, it was brutal. It was brutal.”

Wahlberg saw red at the suggestion that any actor would compare the craft to being on the front line.

Tom Cruise 50th Victoria Beckham Birthday Party

A video obtained by TMZ showed the star speaking at a Q&A in Los Angeles ahead of a screening of his film Lone Survivor , in which he played a Navy SEAL.

“For actors to sit there and talk about, ‘Oh, I went to SEAL training’ — I don’t give a f–k about what you did,” he said. “You don’t do what these guys do. You just don’t. For somebody to sit there and say my job was as difficult as being in the military. How f–king dare you, while you sit in a makeup chair for two hours. I don’t give a s–t if you’re getting your ass busted. You get to go home at the end of the day. You get to go to your hotel room. You get to order f–king chicken or steak, whatever the f–k it is.”

Afterwards, he asked the Q&A host not to ask him any more questions while he calmed down before apologizing for “losing his s–t.”

However, Wahlberg then later claimed that it was a misunderstanding. During an interview with TMZ, he said: “I didn’t know that it was Tom Cruise that said that. Somebody just mentioned that people are [making that comparison]. I love Tom Cruise. I have much respect for Tom Cruise, but I have just as much respect for military guys, so it’s just unfair for anybody to comment on that.”

The pair have not crossed paths since nor have they embarked on any projects together. It hasn’t helped matters that Wahlberg has since said that he got into producing movies because he was tired of waiting around to be offered films that Cruise had rejected.

Fans sharing the resurfaced clip of his angry 2013 rant suggested that Cruise has shown his loyalty to old pal Beckham by pausing his hectic work schedule to attend the Saturday night bash amid the new drama.

Mark Wahlberg wants David Beckham lawsuit dismissed

Wahlberg’s lawyers have denied Beckham’s claims, calling the “fraudulent conduct” accusations baseless in a motion to dismiss according to The Sun .

“The 209-page, 610-paragraph SAC [complaint] tries to make up with length what it lacks in merit,” a response from Wahlberg’s lawyers read.

F45 launched in 2011 with Wahlberg, who owns more than 30 percent of the company, serving as chief brand officer. Beckham, who became pals with Wahlberg when he and Victoria moved to L.A. back in 2012, and former golfer Greg Norman sued F45 Training together in late 2022, but a judge ordered them to separate their lawsuits.

L’acteur de 61 ans a été aperçu jeudi soir, dévalant une rue en moto à toute vitesse, sans casque et suivi par un camion de tournage, non loin de l'Arc de Triomphe et des Champs Élysées.

Tom Cruise a été aperçu, jeudi soir, en moto, à deux pas de l’Arc de Triomphe. L’acteur de 61 ans n’est venu à Paris pour une virée parisienne mais bien pour tourner quelques scènes extraites du prochain Mission Impossible , prévu pour mai 2025. Pour rappel, la présence des Jeux olympiques cet été a contraint la ville à limiter, voir suspendre, les tournages dans la capitale de mi-juin et à mi-septembre .

Sans surprise, la présence de Tom Cruise sur l’avenue Carnot, située dans le XVIII e arrondissement, a fait le tour des réseaux sociaux. Les images, relayées par un internaute puis par les médias, montrent l’acteur dévalant une rue à toute vitesse, sans casque et devancé par un camion de tournage, à deux pas de l’Arc de Triomphe et des Champs Élysées .

Le risque-tout d’Hollywood a aussi été aperçu sous le pont de Bir Hakeim, situé entre le XV e et le XVI e arrondissement. «Tom Cruise vient de tourner une scène sur la promenade Jean-Paul Belmondo , s’est exclamé le journaliste et écrivain Philippe Lombard sur les réseaux sociaux. Ça sent l'hommage à “Peur sur la ville” à plein nez.»

Ce n'est pas la première fois que la star hollywoodienne fait un crochet par Paris pour un tournage. En 2018, il est déjà venu accompagné de sa moto pour réaliser certaines scènes du sixième volet de la franchise, intitulé Fallout . Au total, le tournage dans la capitale avait duré 36 jours, devenant «le plus gros tournage jamais réalisé à Paris» , confiait au Parisien Michel Gomez, délégué de la mission Cinéma à la Ville de Paris. Les scènes de cascades avaient été réalisées aux quatre coins de la ville, du Grand Palais à la tour Eiffel en passant par l'esplanade du Trocadéro et l'Opéra Garnier.

En mai 2025, Tom Cruise sera de retour dans le rôle du célèbre Ethan Hunt pour une huitième mission d’espionnage. Ce prochain film, dont le titre n’est pas connu, devrait apporter des informations complémentaires sur le précédent épisode, intitulé Dead Reckoning , sorti en 2023. Parmi les acteurs déjà présents dans Mission Impossible 7 , on retrouvera : le Canadien Henry Czerny, Ving Rhames , Simon Pegg ou encore Hayley Atwell .

Tom Cruise, 61, spotted canoodling with Russian socialite, 36, who has $1M handbag collection: report

It appears Tom Cruise may have a new love interest.

The actor, 61, was reportedly spotted canoodling with a 36-year-old Russian socialite named Elsina Khayrova last Saturday at a party in London’s Grosvenor Square.

“They were inseparable – clearly a couple,” one guest at the almost entirely Russian event told the Daily Mail. “He seemed to be besotted with her.”

The pair reportedly showed up to the soirée together around 9 p.m. and “spent most [of] the night dancing” with each other on the dance floor.

The informant said a “very friendly” Cruise “kept being asked for pictures and politely declining,” so the DJ “had to make an announcement in Russian” that the A-lister “didn’t want any photos.”

Though it’s unclear what the “Top Gun” star wore to the bash, Khayrova arrived in a black strapless dress with ruffles along the sweetheart-shaped neckline and a giant bejeweled bow on the bodice.

The brunette beauty paired the leggy number with black tights and matching pumps, styling her long locks down and straight.

The duo reportedly left the fête together in the early hours of Sunday.

Cruise’s reps did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Per the Daily Mail, Khayrova is a former model and British citizen who was previously married to Russian tycoon Dmitry Tsvetkov.

The exes reportedly shared multiple mansions in the UK each worth more than $20 million as well as properties in both Dubai and Cyprus.

They are said to have also owned car, jewelry and art collections worth millions.

According to the outlet, their very acrimonious divorce made headlines in the summer, so it’s unclear if their split has been finalized.

Tsvetkov has reportedly accused Khayrova of hiding substantial assets, including her $1 million handbag collection, while she has reportedly accused him of being on the “Kremlin’s most-wanted list.”

Meanwhile, Cruise was recently linked to his “Mission Impossible” co-star Hayley Atwell, who shut down the “weird [romance] rumors” in July .

Two months prior, Page Six exclusively reported that the Oscar nominee was “extremely interested in pursuing” Colombian pop star Shakira after they were seen hanging out together at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami .

At the time, sources told us there was “chemistry” between the two; however, it appears nothing substantial came of the potential pairing.

Cruise was married to actresses Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001 and Katie Holmes from 2006 to 2012.

The devout Scientologist is a father of three ; he shares daughter Bella, 30, and son Connor, 28, with Kidman, while he shares daughter Suri, 17, with Holmes.

Estar en plena forma a los 61 no es 'misión imposible': Tom Cruise tiene la clave con su dieta y entrenamiento

Tom Cruise, protagonista de la saga 'Misión Imposible' sin tener dobles de acción, demuestra con su dieta y entrenamiento que estar joven y gozar de una salud de hierro es posible a partir de los 60.

preview for Tom Cruise: Uno de los mejores actores del cine de acción

Ya está Tom Cruise sacando músculo y echando a correr a los 61 años en las primeras imágenes de 'Misión Imposible 8'
Tom Cruise también fracasa: un campeón de Formula 1 rechazó participar en su película más taquillera

Tom Cruise tiene 61 años (ese verano de 2024 hace los 62) pero sin duda es uno de los actores que menos aparenta su edad. El protagonista de la saga 'Misión Imposible' sorprende siempre con su vitalidad, fuerza y resistencia . Y es que prefiere no tener a ningún doble de acción y rodar él cualquier tipo de escena por peligrosa o vigorosa que sea.

El actor, que no tuvo reparos el pasado fin de semana en mostrar sus atléticos movimientos en la fiesta del 50 cumpleaños de Victoria Beckham (donde además demostró lo gentil que es ayudando a un fotógrafo que se cayó al suelo), deja a cualquiera con la boca abierta cuando escala rascacielos, salta desde aviones, se tira al suelo desde una moto en marcha o cae desde un enorme acantilado. Y encima se mantiene fuerte. ¿Cómo lo hace? ¿Cual es la clave? Está claro que Tom sabe que estar bien a partir de los 60 no es 'misión imposible'.

La dieta de Tom Cruise

A pesar de que el también protagonista de 'Top Gun: Maverick' no sigue una dieta personalizada, sí que Tom se preocupa mucho porque su alimentación sea lo más sana posible. De hecho, las máximas calorías que toma al día son 1.200 y además evita los carbohidratos . Pero no solo eso, la comida basura no es una opción y huye de todas las grasas que no sean saludables.

Y aunque le encanta comer sandwiches, lo cierto es que sus snacks preferidos son las nueces y arándanos . Además, en su dieta principal, la cual ha creado David Beckham para él, reinan los pescados, el pollo, las claras de huevo y las verduras . Eso sí, lo complementa todo con proteínas en polvo. Como anécdota, en 2018 el intérprete también aseguró que en vez de hacer tres comidas al día prefería hacer muchas más ingestas pero más pequeñas (ha llegado a hacer hasta 15).

El entrenamiento de Tom Cruise

La verdad que a Cruise no le gusta mucho ir al gimnasio a diario , pero es porque confía en los entrenamientos que realiza. Y es que Tom no se limita a ningún ejercicio en concreto para estar en forma con 61 años sino que más bien realiza actividades deportivas de aventura como senderismo, esgrima, tenis, bicicleta, running o ir en kayak durante dos días a la semana.

Además de estos deportes, el actor también hace tres veces por semana ejercicio cardiovascular y pesas : dos partes fundamentales de su entrenamiento con las que consigue tener el metabolismo activo y aumentar su resistencia. Eso sí, tiene claro que descansar también es muy importante, por lo que durante dos días también deja espacio para recuperarse.

El motivo por el que el intérprete no tiene un régimen y una rutina determinada es porque cada uno de sus papeles le obliga a cuidarse de una manera diferente. Cada personaje le exige algo. Pero lo que realmente tiene claro Cruise es que hay que ser muy constante y nunca dejar de llevar una vida fitness si quieres dejar a todos boquiabiertos, como hizo él el pasado fin de semana en el cumpleaños de la Spice Girl, tirándose al suelo y haciendo 'splits' en el club privado Oswald's en Mayfair de Londres.

"Mission : Impossible 8" : Tom Cruise aperçu en plein tournage dans les rues de Paris

Source : Sujet TF1 Info

Le comédien américain de 61 ans a été aperçu à moto dans les rues de Paris. Il tourne des scènes pour le prochain volet de "Mission Impossible", dont la sortie est prévue pour mai 2025.

À 61 ans, il a toujours autant la forme. Tom Cruise a été aperçu roulant à moto dans les rues de Paris, à deux pas de l'Arc de Triomphe. Le comédien américain tourne actuellement des scènes pour le prochain volet de Mission Impossible , dont la sortie est prévue pour mai 2025.

Après Londres, la star américaine a donc posé ses valises dans la capitale. Comme on peut le découvrir sur de nombreuses vidéos publiées sur les réseaux sociaux, le comédien habitué à réaliser ses propres cascades a été vu sur une moto sur laquelle est accroché un grand drapeau blanc avenue Carnot dans le XVIIe arrondissement ainsi que sous le pont de Bir Hakeim.

Ce n'est pas la première fois que la star hollywoodienne tourne à Paris. On se souvient de la scène de course poursuite de Mission Impossible 6 tournée entre l'avenue de Saxe, la tour Eiffel et le canal Saint-Martin. Tom Cruise avait également survolé la tour Eiffel en hélicoptère et atterri en parachute sur le dôme du Grand Palais.

Suite de Mission Impossible : Dead Reckoning , le huitième volet des aventures d'Ethan Hunt est en tournage depuis plusieurs mois. Prévue à l’origine en juin 2024, la sortie du film a été repoussée en raison de la grève des scénaristes et des acteurs à Hollywood.
