A typical day, 30 days to 15 October 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?He does his own stunts at altitudes that would make insurance adjusters weep, and the box office has rewarded him for forty years straight. The Ethan Hunt franchise alone would be a career; it's a footnote on his spreadsheet.

, I think it's a privilege to call yourself a Scientologist and it's something you have to earn.
There was a time I went through [the Scientology doctrine], I said, you know what, when I read it, I just thought 'Whoa', this is it. This is exactly it.
Being a Scientologist, when you drive past an accident, it's not like anyone else, it's, you drive past, you know you have to do something about it.

Thomas Cruise Mapother IV broke through in the early 1980s with Risky Business (1983) and Top Gun (1986), the latter turning him into a tabloid sex symbol. Critical respect followed with The Color of Money, Rain Man, and Born on the Fourth of July (1989), which earned him a Golden Globe and his first Oscar nomination for playing Ron Kovic. Through the 1990s he stacked commercial hits - A Few Good Men, The Firm, Interview with the Vampire, Jerry Maguire - winning another Globe and a second Oscar nod. Magnolia (1999) brought a third. Then he pivoted hard into action and sci-fi, launching the Mission: Impossible series in 1996 and performing increasingly dangerous stunts himself across sequels, plus Minority Report, Collateral, War of the Worlds, Edge of Tomorrow, and Top Gun: Maverick (2022). His films have grossed over $13.3 billion worldwide. He holds the Guinness record for most consecutive $100-million openers (eleven films, 2012-2025), received the U.S. Navy's Distinguished Public Service Award in 2024, and was named a British Film Institute Fellow in 2025.
