Tom Cruise is not ready to give up his action-packed career anytime soon. The 61-year-old actor told The Sydney Morning Herald that he hopes to keep making Mission: Impossible movies until he’s 80, following in the footsteps of Harrison Ford, who is still going strong at 81.

“Harrison Ford is a legend; I hope to be still going. I’ve got 20 years to catch up with him,” Cruise said. “I hope to keep making ‘Mission: Impossible’ films until I’m his age.”

The seventh installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise, Dead Reckoning Part One, is set to be released in theaters on July 12. Cruise has already said that he’s signed on to do two more movies in the franchise, so it’s possible that he could still be making Mission: Impossible movies in his 80s.

Cruise is known for his rigorous training regimen, which he says helps him stay in peak physical condition for his stunts. He recently spoke in depth about his training for Dead Reckoning Part One, and how he plans to stay in shape for future movies.

“Look, as an actor and just in my life, I’ve always trained just to make movies,” Cruise told Fandango. “I train in many things – singing, dancing, motorcycles, cars – and also my personal life, I like skydiving and speed-flying and all these things. And I like to then go learn these things and then apply it to the movies.”

“But it is a real trick, and I have gone through to figure out, ‘How do I train? How do I maintain? How do you hit peak right at the moment?’ Because also when I’m doing a sprinting scene, I don’t just run once. Sometimes I’ve done 50 sprints in one day.”

He continued, “So, I have to think about what the recovery time is, what scenes I’m shooting before and after, and I’ve gotten better at really structuring things within the film and sitting down and going, ‘Here’s where I have to prepare for the jump off the motorcycle.’ So, there are certain things in you using your body a different way or if I’m doing gymnastics or a fighting scene. You know, you don’t want to do a fight right there when I’m going to sprint. And how do I prepare? And how do I recover?”

Cruise’s dedication to his craft is evident in his films, and it’s clear that he’s not going to slow down anytime soon. If he can keep up his training regimen, there’s no reason why he can’t make Mission: Impossible movies until he’s 80 or beyond.
