Who could possibly take down Tom Cruise in the Mission: Impossible franchise? No matter the villain, they always seem like easy pickings for a man who continues to defy age and gravity at 62. As time marches on, reports suggest he’s becoming even more relentless in his pursuit of adrenaline-fueled stunts.
With the next installment on the horizon, it’s clear of one thing, the only contender tough enough to challenge Cruise is none other than Cruise himself!
Tom Cruise Won’t Let 62 Slow Him Down!
Tom Cruise is currently hard at work preparing for the latest installment of Mission: Impossible, all while refusing to acknowledge the fact that he’s in his sixties. The actor has been a dominant force in Hollywood for much of his life, and his impressive lineup of films speaks for itself.
And thus as one of the last true superstars, Cruise shows no signs of slowing down. Sources reveal he is diving into these extreme stunts with remarkable determination, viewing them as challenges to conquer, proving that age is just a number. According to Radar Online, Cruise remains an unstoppable force, and that he is also in complete denial about his age. As the source said,
Tom’s got this crazy invincibility complex and truly believes he’s a superior human being who’ll be able to pull off these stunts well into his senior years. The reality is, there’s always the chance something could go horribly wrong, The scary thing is that he keeps pushing the envelope. It was a little intense; there’s that moment I’m there going, ‘Oh, maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. It’s too late now! I can’t tell everyone. He’s in complete denial that he’s getting older.
It’s not just the risks he’s taking; it’s the appearance too. As good as he looks fresh after some subtle nip/tucks, the reality is his skin’s starting to sag a lot more, and his limbs are starting to creak. It’s a situation that he refuses to accept
But truth be told, there are probably not many stunts left yet to be tackled by Tom Cruise. With each new installment, he continuously pushes the boundaries of possibility, leaving audiences questioning where his limits actually lie.
Just when it seems he has reached the peak, he finds a way to surpass expectations. As excitement ramps up for Mission: Impossible 8, fans can’t wait to see the jaw-dropping feats he’ll pull off next. But amidst all the thrill, many hope he takes a moment to prioritize his health, too!
