Tom Cruise Reveals He Never Takes Day Offs

Tom Cruise has said he has never taken a day off during his nearly 40-year career in Hollywood.

The 59-year-old star is promoting his highly anticipated Top Gun: Maverick sequel film.

When asked what he does on his days off, the actor replied that he’s not sure because he’s never taken any personal time off.

“This is a day off for me because I am not shooting! I’m just chillin’ now. I don’t have days off. Look, I’m fortunate, I’m lucky.

"I’ve spent my life on movie sets and travelling the world, which is what I always wanted to do. So this does not work, I’m living the dream."

Cruise is notorious for his dedication to his roles, often performing many of his own wild stunts.

During a masterclass at the Cannes Film Festival, Cruise wondered why everyone seems to be fascinated with his insistence to perform his own stunts.

“No one asked Gene Kelly, ‘Why do you dance?'” he replied.

Cruise’s work ethic and dedication to his craft seem to be paying off with the actor and producer being listed as one of the richest actors in the world with his Mission: Impossible franchise alone grossing more than $2.8 billion worldwide, according to Forbes.
