Tom Cruise may be done with Mission: Impossible, but he is not finished being an action star. The 62-year-old actor says he plans to keep making movies until he’s 100. “I will never stop. I will never stop doing action, I will never stop doing drama, comedy films—I’m excited,” Cruise told The Hollywood Reporter at the premiere of the eighth and final installment of his biggest franchise. Cruise previously said he planned to take a page out of Harrison Ford’s book and keep making action movies into his 80s. “Actually, I’m going to make them into my 100s,” he says now. Cruise, who many fans had predicted would die trying to pull off the increasingly dangerous stunts for the Mission movies, has managed to emerge from the series unscathed. And he is insisting that Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning, which premieres in theaters Memorial Day weekend, really is his last time playing Ethan Hunt. “It’s the final!” he exclaimed. “It’s not called ‘final’ for nothing.”
