During the world premiere of his new movie in Rome, Cruise revealed that he had always been passionate about being an actor. “It’s something that I grew up with, that made me and inspired me to dream and want to travel the world. My goal since I was little was to make movies and travel. And not just be a tourist, but work in that world and understand their culture,” he admitted at the event. “Through my movies, I’ve been able to have that because everyone here has allowed me to entertain them. It’s a privilege that I have never taken for granted. It’s my passion to entertain you, and I will always fight for big theaters and that kind of experience for everyone.”
Cruise also opened up to Entertainment Tonight about the remarkable success of his beloved Mission: Impossible franchise. “I do pinch myself every day. I don’t take anything for granted, I remember being 18 years old, making ‘Taps’, and I remember being four years old and thinking I want to make movies, and I want to travel the world, and now here we are in Rome,” the actor confessed. “It’s something that I am constantly [feeling like], ‘This is so out of body’ and ‘What is happening? This is wild’… I just feel very privileged.”
