But in fact he is a mere stripling compared to Hollywood's other leading action heroes. What is so impressive about these energetic and frankly dangerous feats is that Cruise is 61, which seems like a ripe old age for such undertakings. Over the last decade, Cruise has concentrated almost exclusively on becoming an action megastar, applying his famously intense focus to devising and executing ever more elaborate stunts: in Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, he speeds off a cliff on a motorbike, and parachutes down to the valley below.
