Tom Cruise always goes "too far" with his action stunts

The Hollywood icon told 'Extra': "I always go too far, but I don't mind it. I always go too far."

Tom is willing to put his body on the line in order to make the best movie possible.

The actor - who has suffered various injuries during his career, including a broken ankle while shooting 2018's 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' - explained: "I fly aerobatic airplanes, I fly jets, I fly helicopters, and this took all of our ability and all of our skill to be able find the camera angles to tell this story."

Tom needs to be in tip-top physical shape to shoot the 'Mission: Impossible' movies. And the veteran film star believes the latest movie will surpass fan expectations.

He said: "Physically, what I had to do to prepare for this thing was quite extreme, and I can tell you this - whatever people see in the trailer or on TV, it is not even a taste of what they have in store for them when they see this film."

Tom is still one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, and he's never lost his passion for filmmaking.

"It is my honour to entertain."

He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I'm going to make them into my 100s.

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