According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Tom Cruise isn’t planning on changing his status as one of Hollywood’s top action stars any time soon. In fact, the actor cited Harrison Ford as an inspiration and suggested that he might even have another two decades of action movies in the future, just like the “Star Wars” star.
“Harrison Ford is a legend; I hope to be still going. I’ve got 20 years to catch up with him,” Cruise said of the 81-year-old actor. “I hope to keep making Mission: Impossible films until I’m his age.” While it’s true that Ford is still in the action game after all of these years, it may be tough for Cruise to continue with his typical tenacity as the years go by; the veteran actor has made his mark on the entertainment industry by performing a wide array of his own jaw-dropping stunts, each one more ridiculous than the last.
Still, with at least one more “Mission: Impossible” movie on the horizon and Cruise’s plans to continue with tentpole action movies indefinitely, fans of the star can expect to be watching him complete even more impressive feats, at least for a few more years. Furthermore, with the massive success of “Top Gun: Maverick,” it’s possible that there could be another installment in that franchise coming down the pipeline as well.
