Tom Cruise’s iconic Mission: Impossible saga is almost three decades old now, yet he looks fit as ever in the latest outing, The Final Reckoning. Currently in his 60s, Cruise remains young at heart and flaunts a body that can outshine the physiques of men half his age. So, how does this heartthrob manage to maintain it all? Perhaps a look at the fitness routine and diet of Tom Cruise can disclose his secret. 

One of the biggest stars in Hollywood’s history, with an impressive filmography and net worth, Tom Cruise inspires many. From charming audiences in romantic dramas like Cocktail (1988) and Vanilla Sky (2001) to rocking action roles in the Mission: Impossible franchise and Top Gun movies, the versatile actor has come a long way. While we can’t all have the star’s genes, taking notes of his fitness go-tos is a step closer to staying (at least) half as youthful as him. 

In a recent conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Cruise confirmed plans to keep filming well into his later years: “I actually said I’m going to make movies into my 80s; actually, I’m going to make them into my 100s.” The actor asserted that he’s “never going to stop doing action.” A gruelling workout and a strict diet are in place to make this mission of his possible.
