I will never stop...: Tom Cruise says he will keep making movies into his 100s

Tom Cruise declares he will never stop acting, promising to make films into his 100s during the 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' premiere.

"I will never stop. I will never stop doing action, I will never stop doing drama, comedy films—I'm excited. – Tom Cruise"

New York, May 19

After making its debut at the Cannes Film Festival last week, global star Tom Cruise starrer 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' arrived in New York for its U.S. premiere on Sunday night.

On the red carpet, Cruise was asked by The Hollywood Reporter about his earlier statement, made two years ago, when he said he wanted to make Mission: Impossible movies until he reached Harrison Ford's age -- Ford was 80 at the time. The actor was also asked for an update on his plans. This time, Cruise gave an even bolder answer.

Clarifying his previous comments, Cruise told THR that he will keep making movies into his 100s and has no plans to stop acting anytime soon.

"I actually said I'm going to make movies into my 80s; actually, I'm going to make them into my 100s," he said.

"I will never stop. I will never stop doing action, I will never stop doing drama, comedy films -- I'm excited," Cruise added.

Meanwhile, Mission: Impossible premiered globally at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival last week. It is directed and co-written by Christopher McQuarrie and features a star-studded cast, including Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, and Angela Bassett.

Apart from Cruise, the cast of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning also includes Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Vanessa Kirby as Alanna Mitsopolis, Hayley Atwell as Grace, Esai Morales as the antagonist Gabriel, Shea Whigham as Jasper Briggs, Greg Tarzan Davis as Degas, and Pom Klementieff as the assassin Paris, according to Variety.

The film is set to hit theatres globally on May 23.

Here are 6 diverse Indian perspective comments about Tom Cruise's statement:

Tom Cruise is the definition of dedication! At 62, he's still doing his own stunts better than actors half his age. Bollywood stars should take notes - this is what passion looks like. Wishing him health to keep going till 100! 🙌

While I admire his enthusiasm, shouldn't he make space for younger talent? Indian cinema has this problem too - same stars dominating for decades. New faces bring fresh energy to films. Just my honest opinion!

This man is pure inspiration! Watching MI films since college days. His work ethic reminds me of our own Amitabh Bachchan sir - age is just a number when you love what you do. Hope he keeps entertaining us for decades more.

Tom Cruise at 100 doing action scenes? 😂 That would be something! But seriously, Hollywood should invest more in good scripts rather than relying on aging stars. Same issue we see in South Indian cinema these days.

Vikram J.
His dedication is unmatched! But I wonder - at what point does it become risky for insurance companies? Those stunts get more dangerous with age. Still, can't wait for the new MI - been a fan since the 90s!

Love his energy! Reminds me of my grandfather who worked till 85. But Hollywood should balance veteran stars with new talent. In India, we have great young actors like Alia, Ranveer who bring fresh perspectives. Variety is important!
