Tom Cruise is still Hollywood’s ultimate blockbuster machine, and at 61, he’s proving that age is just a number. Whether pulling off wild bike stunts in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning or going all-in on action sequences with zero safety net, Cruise reminds everyone why he’s the biggest movie star. In a world where CGI dominates, Cruise keeps it old school—willing to risk it all for the real deal. But getting here wasn’t always a smooth ride.
After a five-year break, Cruise came roaring back. Between Mission: Impossible – Fallout and Top Gun: Maverick, he faced personal drama and a few flops. Most stars would’ve disappeared into the background. Not Cruise. He returned with a bang, mingling with the aristocracy and preparing for his biggest hit to date at Cannes. In addition to exceeding forecasts, Top Gun: Maverick brought in $1.5 billion worldwide. That’s how you can make a comeback!
It didn’t just revive his career; it boosted his cool factor. Critics were skeptical about restoring an old franchise, but Cruise proved he could still fly high. Maverick wasn’t just a sequel—it was his victory lap, reminding Hollywood that he’s still the golden boy.
