> Two years ago, Cruise was quoted as saying he was inspired by 80-year-old Harrison Ford’s career and wanted to keep making Mission: Impossible films until he was Ford’s age. When THR asked about the quote and if his mind had been changed — since he’s currently 62 — Cruise noted, “I actually said I’m going to make movies into my 80s; actually, I’m going to make them into my 100s.”

> Looking back on nearly 30 years of the Mission: Impossible franchise — which launched in 1996 — Cruise mused how he can’t pick out a most rewarding aspect of the experience because “there’s been so many levels of reward with the filmmakers that I’ve collaborated with, the crews, the people, the cultures that we’ve worked in. Everything that I’ve learned and continue to learn about storytelling, about life, about leadership, about character and every aspect of filmmaking. It’s been exceptional, it really is exceptional. I feel very fortunate to be able to make the films that I make and I love it, I just making movies.”

Knowing Tom Cruise, I’m sure his way of going out would be doing some insanely crazy stunt

Hey that’s cool Tom.
Can we do this without the weird cult though?
Like, is there any way for that to happen?
I feel like you’re in a good enough place professionally that we don’t need L Ron Hubbard involved.

Tom Cruise the actor is a genuine treasure. I don’t think I’ve ever left one of his films disappointed.

Ok, but can you go back to dramatic roles? I really liked you in “Magnolia”

I can’t imagine an “old” Tom Cruise, like he’s aging of course but an elderly Tom just seems incomprehensible in my mind.

He probably genuinely thinks he’s immortal

I have no doubt about it… he definitely won’t stop.

Only way he can stay close to the top of Scientology so he can take the reins when Miscavige goes.

I’m with it!!! But ease up on the stunts
visionsofcry on
I’m a guy, mid to late 40s. I’m tired of the action, stunts, fight scenes, the forced character tension. It gets boring. I want a good story.
Tom cruise has a talent for picking very good roles. I love his scifi stuff. He’s a fantastic actor.
Can I separate the artist from the art? Yes, i can. Tbh everybody who’s been on set with him says he’s an amazing guy.

Same reason my friend works 80+ hours a week. If he stops, he will have to deal with mortality and existential crisis.

He’ll stop when one of his insane stunts kills him one day.
