Tom Cruise wants to make movies 'into his 100s'
The 62-year-old actor has no plans of slowing down, following the release of 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning', and Tom has revealed that he doesn't have any intention of ever retiring from the film business.
The actor - who previously said he wanted to keep making films into his 80s, like his inspiration Harrison Ford - told The Hollywood Reporter: "I'm going to make them into my 100s.
"I will never stop. I will never stop doing action, I will never stop doing drama, comedy films — I'm excited."
Tom made his film debut in the 1981 romantic drama, 'Endless Love', before he enjoyed a career breakthrough in 1986's 'Top Gun'.
The actor has starred in the 'Mission: Impossible' film franchise since 1996, and remains passionate about making movies.
Recalling his "exceptional" experience of making the films, Tom said: "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."
Tom has filmed countless stunts for the 'Mission: Impossible' franchise, and the actor has revealed that he's developed a series of "pre-stunt rituals" in a bid to "keep [him] alive".
The veteran movie star - who is one of the best-paid actors in Hollywood - shared: "There's a lot of pre-stunt rituals that keep me alive - it depends on what I'm doing and the amount of preparation I have to do.
"A lot of thought goes into it, and they are very complex and very interesting."
Tom famously hung off a military plane in the opening scene of 2015's 'Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation', and he's performed numerous aerial sequences in the money-spinning film series.
Tom previously revealed that he has to be fuelled with energy before he does his stunts, explaining that he'll eat "almost a dozen" eggs with bacon and sausages and down several cups of coffee before the cameras start rolling.
Speaking to People magazine, Tom shared: "I actually eat a massive breakfast.
"The amount of energy it takes - I train so hard for that wing-walking.
"I'll eat, like, sausage and almost a dozen eggs and bacon and toast and coffee and fluids.
"Oh, I'm eating! Picture: It's cold up there. We're at high altitude. My body is burning a lot."

Halsey was 'picky' before making movie debut in Americana
Halsey was "cautiously picky" before deciding to make her major movie debut in Americana. The 30-year-old star features in Tony Tost's modern Western and explained that she "really connected" with the project, which is finally hitting cinemas later this month after being filmed in 2022. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at the movie's LA premiere on Sunday (03.08.25), Halsey said: "I'd been waiting a really long time, I'd been really cautiously picky about what I was going to do for my first project for getting into this world, into this space. "Tony reached out and he was so personable and so talented and I just really connected with the script and the character. Little did I know we were going to be making it during Covid, which was a crazy experience." The Bad at Love singer - who has son Ender, four, with her ex-partner Alev Aydin - added: "And from the moment I read the script until we started shooting. I got pregnant, had a whole pregnancy, gave birth to my son, had my son on set with me, and without giving anything away, it's really serendipitous to (her character) Mandy's arc in the film." Halsey stars in the movie alongside Sydney Sweeney - who had previously appeared in the music video for her 2019 song Graveyard - and was grateful to the Echo Valley actress for answering her "stupid questions" on set. She recalled: "We were actually hanging out a bunch during Covid, so when I got the call she was doing the movie we had like just gone hiking a few days before, so it was like, 'Oh cool, I'll see you there.' "It was just really great to have someone to learn from, to ask questions to - the stupid questions you don't think of. It was my first time on a movie set in a real way; just being like, 'Who do I look at? Who do I listen to? What's the cool code words I don't know, the actor lingo?' So having someone to ask the stupid questions to was great." Halsey - whose real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane - has revealed that she is developing the new Amazon series Bloodlust, although she is thankful that she will not be acting in the dark comedy. She explained: "I started the pilot a few years ago and Amazon wanted it and they took it and now we're getting it on the road. There's not so much that I can say but it's really cool to be part of a project that I don't face. It's quite relieving." Halsey added: "(I'm) just behind the scenes, just the puppet master. "I don't have to do my makeup."

Liam Neeson's son approves of Pamela Anderson romance
Liam Neeson's son approves of his relationship with Pamela Anderson. The 73-year-old actor and his 58-year-old Naked Gun co-star star are believed to have started dating after meeting on set, and when they appeared on Watch What Happens Live to promote the film on Sunday, host Andy Cohen - who was a close friend of Liam's late wife Natasha Richardson - admitted he was "stanning" their romance, a viewpoint shared by Daniel Neeson. Cohen told the couple: "The question that I'm not asking the two of you tonight is what's going on between the two of you, but I do just want to say, as a very old friend of (Liam's), all of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say." As Liam put his hand on Pamela's shoulder and she reached to squeeze it, Cohen then asked Daniel, who was sitting in the audience: "Right Danny?" Daniel replied: "Yes." On Friday, Pamela shared a series of photos of herself and Liam on Instagram along with the caption: "The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, family, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it's good for you! "I'll see you there (white heart and popcorn emojis)" And Daniel, 28, commented with a string of emojis including hands up, fire, and white hearts. Richardson's sister, Joely Richardson, also commented on the post with a string of red heart emojis. Cohen recently admitted he was happy for Neeson over his budding romance with Anderson because he can see similarities between the former Baywatch star and Richardson, who died in a skiing accident in 2009, aged 45. Speaking on his SiriusXM radio show last week, he said: "Natasha was a dear friend of mine and I'm gonna tell you something. I, and all of the friends in this circle, are very much stanning whatever this is. "As I was telling him at the premiere party, I go, 'Liam, she is an independent woman just like Tash was. She loves to cook. She has her own thing going on. She has two boys.'" Cohen insists "this just works" as Anderson has been through a lot with her sex tape scandal and whirlwind marriage to ex-husband Tommy Lee - with whom she has sons Brandon, 29, and 27-year-old Dylan - and managed to reinvent her career. He added: "I mean, this just works, and you know, she is a formidable human being, Pamela Anderson. She really is. What she's been through and how she kind of reclaimed herself and redefined herself." Neeson - who has Micheal, 30, and Daniel with his late wife - previously confessed to being "madly in love" with Pamela as he gushed about working with her. He told People magazine: "With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with." Liam Neeson's son approves of his relationship with Pamela Anderson.

Matthew Modine teases ‘pretty exciting' Godzilla x Kong: Supernova
Matthew Modine signed on to Godzilla x Kong: Supernova because he 'wanted to meet Godzilla'. The Stranger Things actor, 66, is due to star in the upcoming MonsterVerse blockbuster, and has now revealed he had agreed to appear in the film to meet the iconic Titan - only to be disappointed Godzilla wasn't actually there during production. Speaking on a panel at Tampa Bay Comic Convention, the Full Metal Jacket actor said: 'I just worked in Godzilla x King Kong: Supernova. That was pretty exciting. Oh, to work with Godzilla. 'When I was working on Godzilla - that's what I was gonna say - I kept waiting. 'I was like, 'Wait a minute, Godzilla is not here!' I'm looking at Godzilla and King Kong as if they're there. And when you go to drama school, there's exercises you do where you come out, and you have to see things that aren't there. 'So I was happy to pretend that Godzilla was there. I did the movie because I wanted to meet Godzilla.' As well as Modine, Godzilla x Kong: Supernova will introduce new characters played by Sam Neill, Kaitlyn Dever, Jack O'Connell, Delroy Lindo and Alycia Debnam-Carey. The film will also see the return of Dan Stevens as Trapper Beasley. Godzilla x Kong: Supernova is being helmed by We Bury the Dead director Grant Sputore and written by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings scribe David Callaham. Although no plot details about the movie are known, Deadline previously reported Godzilla x Kong: Supernova will introduce several new human characters who will join the titular Titans as they face off against a new world-ending threat. Godzilla x Kong: Supernova - which is slated to hit cinemas in March 2027 - will pick up after the events of 2024's Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Starring Rebecca Hall, Dan Stevens and Brian Tyree Henry, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire followed the legendary Titans, Godzilla and Kong, as they joined forces to face a powerful new threat rising from within Hollow Earth - one that poses a danger to both their kind and the future of humanity. Last year, it was announced that Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire director Adam Wingard would not be helming the next film due to scheduling conflicts. At the time, The Hollywood Reporter stated that his departure was amicable and that the possibility remained for Wingard to return to helm another Monsterverse movie in the future. Despite stepping away, Wingard had previously hinted that he had 'more story to tell' within the MonsterVerse. Speaking to Discussing Film ahead of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire's theatrical release in March 2024, he said: 'The whole idea that if you've done two movies, like, maybe you should just go ahead and do a third because, as you said, there's a trilogy in there. 'It just depends on how [Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire] does and how things kind of shape out. I do have more story to tell with these monsters, and I know where I'd go with it. 'I would be very excited to be able to come back on for another one if things worked out!'
