Tom Cruise Wants to Star in a Musical for His Next Movie Role
Tom Cruise has a surprising plan for his next movie role.
Fans have become used to seeing the Mission Impossible actor in action movies, performing death-defying stunts.
However, it appears that the acting legend wants to go in a new direction with his next big role.
Cruise made the revelation to London television presenter Edith Bowman on Sunday, May 11, 2025, according to People.
He revealed he wants to star in a musical, although that doesn't mean he will give up starring in other film genres.
Tom Cruise singing may not make sense at first, but he seemed emphatic about the idea. And he's done it before. Cruise starred in the musical Rock of Ages in 2012.
"Definitely a musical. Absolutely, musicals," the actor told Bowman, according to People. "You know, dramas, action adventures. It's endless. My goals are endless."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cruise already learned to sing for Rock of Ages, where he played a rocker.
'The first thing we had to find and discover is what is my voice and what is the voice of the character,' Cruise said at the premiere, according to THR. 'It's not just learning how to sing, I trained for five hours a day for many months, but it was also — in singing you have opera, you have pop, you've got Broadway, and then you've got rock. So it was finding out what is that rock voice and then kind of work on the behavior and the wardrobe from that.'
Cruise learned to sing from Glee's Adam Anders.
'Scary as h***,' Anders told THR of teaching Cruise to sing.
'I went over to his house to hear him sing and I didn't know what to expect at all,' he said, according to THR. 'He started singing and he didn't know what he was doing, but his voice was unbelievably powerful and he could sing as high as he wanted to. I was like 'We're good! Now we just gotta work.''
