He is currently in Australia to promote his upcoming action blockbuster Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning.
And on his 61st birthday on Monday, Tom Cruise revealed he doesn’t have any plans for retirement, saying he was inspired by Harrison Ford who is still making movies at 80.
‘Harrison Ford is a legend. I hope to be still going at that age, I’ve got 20 years to catch up with him, he told The Sydney Morning Herald.
‘I hope to keep making Mission Impossible films until I’m his age,’ he added.
Cruise also revealed he loves watching movies at the cinema and was excited about the upcoming release of both Oppenheimer and Barbie.

‘I’ll see them both opening weekend. Friday I’ll see Oppenheimer first and then Barbie on Saturday.’
He celebrated his 61st birthday at the premiere for his newest Mission Impossible movie in Sydney on Monday.
But his age hasn’t stopped Tom Cruise from continuing to do his own crazy stunts in his action flicks.

In his seventh Mission Impossible movie, called Dead Reckoning Part One, Tom performed his most death-defying stunt yet.
Paramount Pictures released a 10-minute video about how the wild stunt was possible, which saw the Hollywood actor drive a motorbike off the side of a cliff in Norway.
In the jaw-dropping clip, Tom is seen coming off the motorbike and free-falling for several seconds before pulling a parachute.

Speaking to 9Honey Celebrity on the red carpet of the movie’s Australian premiere, Tom said there was so much going through his mind while filming this scene.
‘I was thinking of performance, because, you see me at the beginning, I have to act, but I’m also thinking about the helicopter that’s going down, the speed that I have to travel down that ramp,’ he said.
Before taking on the death-defying stunt, the A-lister did plenty of training and practiced skydiving for the scene and had a ramp built in England so he could do a few dry runs.
This is Tom’s seventh MI film and will be released in Australian theatres on July 8.
