Tom Cruise was recently spotted at Mallorca’s Formentor Beach in Spain while filming the eighth installment of the Mission Impossible franchise. He was joined by his colleague filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu, who showed off his toned physique while wading in the water.
Tom had his wet hair slicked back while wearing a pair of navy swimming trunks, which he arrived in accompanied by a gray shirt, a white fedora hat, and a pair of matching Nike sneakers. The father of three continues to ooze sex appeal well into his sixties, thanks to his highly active lifestyle.

The actor is famous for doing his stunts against all odds and risk and has gained a reputation for his daring work ethic on set. Last year, he set an enviable record for the most dangerous and biggest stunt in cinema history by riding a motorcycle off a cliff about 80 feet high for his latest Mission Impossible sequel.

The move didn’t come easy as he owed it to years of training involving 500 skydives, 13,000 motocross jumps, BASE jump training, and mastery of the motorbike, which thankfully paid off. “I have to get so good at this that there’s just no way that I miss my marks,” he explained at the time. “You train and drill every little aspect over and over and over and over again.”
Why does Tom Cruise do his own stunts?
Many actors in Hollywood work with stunt performers to execute physically tasking scenes. However, Tom has refused to adopt a double in many films. Aside from preparing for challenging movie scenes, Tom lives a lifestyle that enables him to fit into these roles. The four-time Golden Globe winner does various activities such as sea kayaking, caving, fencing, treadmill, weights, rock climbing, hiking, jogging, and much more to keep his body active.
Tom also follows a strict diet designed by his footballer friend David Beckham. This diet features a low-carb lifestyle devoid of sugary meals, grains, and processed food. The aim is to control his insulin levels to slow down aging and increase energy. Tom has also gained mastery of his appearance, mostly opting for dapper suits or smart casual outfits that make him look younger.
