Tom Cruise reveals the VERY surprising food which fuels him for his heart-stopping Mission Impossible stunts

Daily Mail​09-05-2025

He's wowed Mission Impossible fans for years with his daring stunts and heart-stopping action sequences across seven films in the series.
And now, ahead of the franchise's eighth movie, Tom Cruise has revealed the food that has kept him going into his 60s - and it's not the health advice you might expect.
He explained that he fuels himself with massive English breakfasts, often including more than 10 eggs, The Mirror reports.
The star, 62, said: '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.'
He joins a host of actors who have tucked into eggs while preparing for big roles, including Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Mark Wahlberg, who admitted to regularly eating a dozen of them while filming Father Stu.
Tom's English culinary inspiration is hardly surprising since he has long been a fan of the country, filming many of the series' blockbuster movies while in London, where he has a property.
And he was back in the capital over the weekend, attending David Beckham's star-studded 50th birthday party at Michelin-starred restaurant Core in Notting Hill alongside his new girlfriend Ana de Armas.
The Top Gun icon seemingly arrived on his own at the swanky celebrations on Saturday night, but hours later the facade dropped as he was spotted leaving in a car with the actress, 37.
The couple made an effort to hide their relationship as they left the venue in the early hours shielded by umbrellas, before ducking behind the car seats as they sat together in the back of the vehicle.
While they were trying to conceal their appearance together, bleary-eyed Tom appeared to find the whole thing quite amusing as he was spotted laughing and smiling as their sneaky moment was caught on camera.
Ana, who was wearing an elegant strappy black dress, meanwhile kept her head down as she avoided being photographed with Tom, but the game was well and truly up when she was also seen in the background of a photo posted after the event.
Earlier in the evening, Tom made a low-key arrival at the celebration, following a series of reports that his girlfriend Ana was also invited to the star-studded night.

Instead, Tom appeared to arrive solo, spotted sitting in the back of a black cab as he pulled up to the exclusive venue.
She had joined Tom in London earlier this week as they both jetted into the capital ahead of Ana's own birthday on April 30.
For the Beckham party, Tom looked dapper in a crisp white tuxedo jacket, paired with black trousers and a classic black bow tie.
The Hollywood legend briefly chatted with security before being ushered inside, as staff attempted to shield the entrance of the event with large black umbrellas.
Top Gun actor Tom forged a close friendship with power couple David and Victoria in the early 2000s. He made an appearance at Victoria's milestone 50th birthday last year.
Tom and Ana have been linked together since Valentine's Day this year.
They appeared to confirm their love affair is real as they flew into London together this week, just days before her 37th birthday.
In exclusive photos obtained by the Daily Mail, Hollywood icon Tom looked giddy as he piloted a helicopter into the UK capital with the brunette actress by his side.
Reprising his role as the titular hero Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible, Tom takes on his biggest mission yet, after a tense cliffhanger saw the spy determined to track down cyber weapon The Entity and learning that his team was betrayed and his 'secrets compromised.'
The film, which has faced multiple delays, is finally due to hit cinemas on May 23 2025.
On Thursday, he couldn't contain his excitement as he stepped on stage for a press conference in Korea ahead of the new movie.
The actor joined his co-stars to promote the highly-anticipated eighth film in the franchise at the Lotte Tower in Jamsil, Seoul.
It marked Tom's twelfth visit to the country for a movie, with his first visit in 1994 with Interview with the Vampire.
Dressed in an all-black ensemble, he gushed: 'Movies are my dream, and coming to Korea is the same.
'It was my dream to come to Korea a long time ago. I can't believe it's already the 12th time I've achieved it. I wonder if it's real.
'It also means that the movie life has been that long. I'm proud to share this work with Korean fans once again, which is a dream and a whole goal of life.'

Heat health warning issued as temperatures set to reach 30C

Following a yellow alert, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) advises people to close windows and curtains that face the sun and to seek shade outside. It also recommends people to wear hats and sunglasses, apply sun cream, and avoid direct sunlight during 11am and 3pm. People should only do exercise in the morning or evening and ensure that 'vulnerable friends and family [are] aware of the symptoms of heatstroke'. Dr Agostinho Sousa, the head of Extreme Events and Health Protection at UKHSA, said: 'Even moderate heat can result in serious health outcomes, especially for older adults, and it is therefore important that everyone takes sensible precautions while enjoying the sun.' Sir Chris Bryant, the tourism minister, has warned too much exposure to the sun can be fatal. Speaking at a conference in Westminster on Wednesday, organised by travel trade organisation Abta, Sir Chris said: 'One thing that is very close to my heart, because I've had stage four melanoma – which probably sprang from my years in Spain when I was a child – is about responsible use of the sun. 'We know that it kills, getting it wrong. The British obsession with laughing at people because they've gone lobster pink is daft. We need to do better about this.' Addressing the gathering of travel trade executives, he added: 'I know you don't want to be preaching to everybody who gets on an aeroplane with you, but being able to do all this responsibly, I think, is important.' Thunderstorms This health alert comes as parts of south-west England, South Wales and Northern Ireland have been issued with a weather warning for thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday by the Met Office. A separate warning spanning Friday afternoon and Saturday morning is in place for south-eastern England and East Anglia. Neil Armstrong, the chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: 'A weather system will push northwards through tomorrow, bringing heavy rain and a risk of thunderstorms to parts of south-west England, most of Wales, and later into Northern Ireland. '40mm of rain could fall in 3 hours or less leading to the potential for disruption. Further thunderstorms will develop during the afternoon across England and Wales, moving quickly northwards with hail and lightning. 'Temperatures will remain high, with 26 or 27°C possible again in the north Midlands and parts of north London.'

Love Island shake up as couple SPLITS, four islanders head to the Hideaway and bombshells cause chaos in villa

LOVE Island is in a big shake up, as a couple splits, four islanders head to the Hideaway and bombshells cause chaos in the villa. It's only t he third night, but it seems things are about to heat up even more on the summer series of Love Island. 6 6 6 But first, a split hits the villa as Ben and Toni fail to achieve a romantic spark, with him even saying she's 'given him the ick.' It all occurs after Sophie Lee leaves the villa, leading American bombshell Toni to say to the Islanders: 'Boys, it's your turn, just saying - I don't think you're gonna be safe.' Ben, who is coupled up with Toni after she stole him from Shakira, then says: 'Are you saying me in particular?' To which Toni replies: 'No it's about boys, not everything is about you.' Ben then storms off, which raises a lot of eyebrows, as Meg later tells him: 'That was a bit much…I don't get what she said that was really offensive?' Ben explains that he 'got the ick,' after Toni told him: 'Not everything is about you.' Toni ends up catching wind of the conversation, and questions Ben, asking: 'I've heard from people you said I'm giving you the ick?' As things cool off between Toni and Ben, it looks like he's still got his mind set on Shakira, as he pulls her for a chat in the 'no invite needed' Hideaway wanting to let her know what he's thinking. He ends up admitting to the brunette beauty that he likes her, but she says he 'needs training.' And they're not the only two Islanders who head to the Hideaway in the upcoming episode. Helena and Harry head to the Hideaway for a chat, making jokes about what the Hideaway has to offer. Helena tells him the rules of the private area saying: 'At night time you can sleep in the bed with someone you're not in a couple with.' Harry laughs: 'So there might be a bit of corridor creeping tonight.' Harry and Shakira later debrief about the chat, with the footballer admitting he and Helena like a flirt. He says: 'Yeah, she is…we flirt, I think you know and that's ok.' Shakira replies of Helena's flirting efforts: 'Fair play girl.' And then just to keep viewers on their toes even more, two new male bombshells enter the villa. Semi-pro footballer Shea Mannings and fitness influencer Remell Mullins will be seen on screen tonight, and they mean business. They greet the girls by the firepit, as the boys watch on from the terrace. And they girls fill them in on their current couples. Toni asks them: 'So what's your plan coming in here?' Remell teases: 'I'm not gonna say too much about myself because I've got to ease in where I'm at…' Alima jokes: 'We'll see!' Harry notices Remell taking a liking to Alima saying: 'He's on Alima!' They then invite the boys down to meet the new bombshells and it's time for the first game - dares in a box. But while the bombshells cause a stir, something else causes an even bigger one, as an unexpected couple head into the Hideaway later that evening. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX 6 6 6
