Tom Cruise finally reveals why he never takes break from acting

Tom Cruise has finally revealed why he never takes a break from acting.

In a new interview with Empire magazine, the 64-year-old actor said that he enjoys working "seven days a week.”

"I work seven days a week. I'm constantly studying and training on different things that I'm preparing for in the future," said Tom.

"The thing I really try to focus on is how to prepare. Prep, prep, prep, prep, prep for everything," continued the Mission: Impossible star.

For those unversed, Tom is currently gearing up for the release of his new film Digger. He plays the role of an aging wealthy oil tycoon, Digger Rockwell, in the satirical dark comedy film.

"The first time I put the makeup on, it was six hours," recalled the actor.

"And you have to understand, the makeup is here [pointing to his head] and heat comes out of your skull," Tom continued. "I have my energy resources, in terms of what it's going to take to get that performance.

"I started doing the math. It was 19-hour days, basically. There were times I actually slept at the lot, in a trailer, overnight," added the Top Gun star.

Digger is set to release in cinemas on October 2, 2026.
