Tom Cruise is currently on a global journey promoting his newest action film, “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,” and he’s not planning to slow down anytime soon.
The movie showcases Cruise‘s character, Ethan Hunt, as he risks everything to thwart a malevolent A.I. known as The Entity. The film is both penned and directed by renowned American filmmaker Cristopher McQuarrie. Joining him in the cast are beloved actors like Simon Pegg, along with Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, and Tramell Tillman.
Owen Gleiberman, a film critic, commented in Variety: “Tom Cruise does what one expects—it features a spectacular stunt sequence characteristic of this 30-year-old franchise—yet he also surprises us. He surpasses all prior stunts, leaving us breathless with amazement.”
Tom Cruise surprises reporter with his response about his career
Cruise clarified to the reporter, “What I meant was I plan to make films into my 80s; in fact, I wish to continue them into my 100s.” He expressed his commitment to action films while also indicating his interest in exploring other genres, such as comedy, romance, and drama.
About to turn 63 on July 3, the Syracuse, New York native rose to fame in the 1980s as a prominent actor in Hollywood. Since then, he has solidified his status as a versatile and commercially successful superstar, featuring in timeless films like “Top Gun“, “Jerry Maguire“, “Vanilla Sky“, and “Eyes Wide Shut“, among a plethora of others.
Tom Cruise has yet to win an Oscar
Despite his remarkable career, Tom Cruise has not yet received an Academy Award, placing him among other notable names like Ralph Fiennes, Edward Norton, Mark Ruffalo, Johnny Depp, and Willem Dafoe. Each of these talented actors has received nominations for their exceptional performances but has never walked away with the coveted award.
Cruise’s first nomination came for his leading performance in “Born on the Fourth of July“, although he was bested by Daniel Day-Lewis. He was nominated again for “Jerry Maguire“, only to lose to Geoffrey Rush. A further nomination for Best Supporting Actor came in 2000 with “Magnolia“, yet the award went to Michael Caine.
He received another nomination as a producer for “Top Gun: Maverick“, but it ultimately went to “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Though Tom Cruise has yet to secure an Oscar win, his ongoing commitment to filmmaking suggests he may one day earn the Academy Award he rightly deserves.
