Tom Cruise plans to make movies into his 100s. His secret to staying young at 62 is free, simple, and seen in centenarians.
The "Mission: Impossible" star said he stays young by doing a range of activities.
Working the mind and body, and maintaining a zest for life are common traits in centenarians.
Tom Cruise said he wants to keep making movies until he's in his 100s. If he stays as active and curious as he is now, he may well succeed.
The 62-year-old actor, who is best known for his adrenaline-fueled stunts in the "Mission: Impossible" franchise, said in 2023 that he was inspired by Harrison Ford, who still works at age 82.
But he told The Hollywood Reporter on Sunday: "Actually, I'm going to make them into my 100s. I will never stop. I will never stop doing action, I will never stop doing drama, comedy films — I'm excited."
"Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning," the eighth movie in the franchise that is out this week, sees him doing a lengthy scuba dive and wing-walking on a bi-plane, among other impressive stunts.
When asked how he stays young by Men's Health in 2023, he said: "Sea-kayaking, caving... fencing, treadmill, weights... rock-climbing, hiking... I jog... I do so many different activities."
Business Insider has spoken to many experts in healthy aging as well as healthy older people, including centenarians.
A common theme among them is keeping their minds and bodies active, including with new hobbies. One 2023 study based on interviews with 19 people aged between 100 and 107 published in the journal Journal of Happiness Studies identified eight traits in the centenarians. They included: being active, challenging your mind, taking commitments seriously, and being curious.
A person's chances of living a long, healthy life are partly down to their genetics and environment — and Cruise has more resources than the most to take care of his health and try new things. But research suggests that a person's diet, exercise, and lifestyle can have a significant impact on their longevity.
Joyce Preston, from the UK, who turned 100 in March, told BI that her morning routine included yoga or gentle exercise, and she also went on short walks.
Meanwhile, John Tinniswood, who died age 112 in November 2024, said: "Always do the best you can, whether you're learning something or whether you're teaching someone. Give it all you've got. Otherwise, it's not worth bothering with."
Some centenarians also prioritize diets of fresh, whole foods over processed ones. One 2022 study found that eating whole grains, legumes, fish, fruits, vegetables, and nuts could add 10 years to a person's lifespan.
Meanwhile, an expert in healthy aging previously told BI that 30 minutes of activity a day, particularly a mix of cardio and resistance training, could help prevent chronic illnesses.

Diddy's comeback odds? Slim. But some humility can help, crisis PR experts say.
While Sean "Diddy" Combs may have beaten the most serious charges in his criminal trial, the court of public opinion might have a different verdict. Shortly after Thursday's bombshell verdict that allowed Combs to dodge a possible life sentence, his lead defense attorney, Marc Agnifilo, called the decision a "great victory" for the hip-hop mogul. But some crisis PR experts and an entertainment attorney told Business Insider that Combs' reputation may be beyond rehabilitation. The often-wrenching courtroom testimony — including the ugly details of his relationship with R&B singer Cassie Ventura and the drug-fueled "freak off" sex performances at the center of the trial — will be hard for the public to forget. "Racketeering dodge or not, the pimp transport convictions lock him in society's septic tank," Eric Schiffer, the CEO of Reputation Management Consultants, said. Combs was acquitted of the top sex-trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, but the crimes he was convicted of — two Mann Act charges related to transporting his victims for prostitution — will still "make him a legal leper," said Schiffer. (Combs faces up to 20 years behind bars, though legal experts expect his sentence to be much less.) "Rehabbing his image will be an uphill battle," said William DiAntonio, the CEO of reputation management firm Reputation911. "The court of public opinion often operates differently than a court of law, and the details that emerged during the trial, even those not leading to convictions, can be incredibly damaging." Part of the problem for Combs will be the visuals connected with the case, in particular the hotel security footage of him physically assaulting Ventura, the government's key sex-trafficking trial witness. The day after the verdict, the New York Post's front page labeled Combs the "Notorious P.I.G." and a "baby oil-obsessed woman beater," over a still from the video, and a number of celebrities, including Kesha and Mariska Hargitay, expressed support for Ventura. "That video is going to be hard to forget," Evan Nierman, the CEO of crisis-PR firm Red Banyan, said. "It's seared into the consciousness of the public." Associating with that image is a risk that celebrities — the ones who once saw Combs as a powerful kingmaker — and businesses won't want to take. "Industry A-listers won't risk a photo-op; one Getty watermark equals a brand bleed," Schiffer said. "Sync licensors will keep treating his catalog like a radioactive dirty bomb." Combs' income streams have largely dried up since sex abuse allegations against him began to surface in 2023, with his once-partner Diageo saying that the accusations "make it impossible for him to continue to be the 'face' of anything." The number of civil lawsuits piled up against him won't help any reputational rehab. Combs faces more than 50 suits accusing him of sexual assault, rape, drugging and other forms of violence. Beyond his denial of the criminal charges that the government brought, Combs has also denied any allegations of sexual assault. "Sean Combs isn't chasing headlines — he's focused on what matters: his life, his family, and the challenging road ahead," a spokesperson for Combs told Business Insider. "Commentators can weigh in, but history has proven he's never been one to count out." From criminal to family man A comeback for Combs may not be impossible. "If he'd been convicted on the more serious charges, there would be no point in even making an attempt to rehabilitate his image," Nierman said, but "if you look at what the convictions cover, there's no reason why he can't actually rebound from this." Part of the reason, he said, was that Combs' reputation never revolved around him being a "nice sweet guy." "He was the founder of Bad Boy Records, not Altar Boy Records," he added. Even Combs' defense attorneys painted the music tycoon as a "flawed" man with a violent side, arguing that domestic violence is not sex trafficking. Nierman pointed to the trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, in which both parties sued the other for defamation, as analogous. The trial revealed "really horrific things" and "really embarrassing details of messy lives," he said, "yet, when Johnny Depp got a good outcome in court, he was instantly able to jump back into Hollywood limelight." Depp is starring in the thriller "Day Drinker" that is set to be released later this year. Erasing the image of Combs as a sex-obsessed, violent abuser will be crucial, and replacing that image with one of a family man may be the best way forward, Nierman said. It's an image Combs may already be working on: His mother and children were often in court, showing their unwavering support, and he traded in his flashy bling and dark sunglasses for gray hair and sweaters, projecting an image of a run-of-the-mill dad. Combs' reaction in the aftermath of the verdict will also be key to any sort of revival, other experts say. "If he stays under the radar and attempts to run his businesses with a different figure heading his various companies, he can avoid further backlash," Camron Dowlatshahi, a Los Angeles entertainment attorney with Mills Sadat Dowlat LLP, said. It will never be a full recovery, though, he added. DiAntonio agreed, saying that if "Combs were to publicly gloat or position the verdict as a full exoneration, it would likely backfire." "This is not a time for celebration," he added. "Moving forward with humility, acknowledgment, and a visible commitment to change would be far more effective." Combs' supporters, however, would disagree. After the verdict was announced, people jailed with him at the federal detention center in Brooklyn greeted Combs with a standing ovation, while outside the courtroom, fans celebrated with cheers and — in a nod to the thousands of bottles found in Combs' homes — baby oil.

Jurassic World Rebirth Roars to Life with $312.5 Million Global Box Office Smash
Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment have scored a massive win at the box office with Jurassic World Rebirth, which posted a towering $312.5 million global debut in its opening weekend. Surpassing all projections, the film is now officially the second-highest worldwide opener of 2025, only trailing A Minecraft Movie. With Gareth Edwards at the helm and a star-studded cast including Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey, Rebirth is breathing new life into the beloved dinosaur franchise. Originally forecast to open around $260 million worldwide, Jurassic World Rebirth crushed those estimates with an explosive launch. The film earned approximately $141.2 million domestically and $171.3 million internationally, according to a Deadline report. These numbers place it ahead of major competitors and mark one of the strongest franchise comebacks in recent memory. The domestic market responded strongly despite mid-week openings. The movie launched in North America on a Wednesday with $30.5 million, followed by $25.3 million on Thursday. Over the five-day period, it amassed around $133 million, becoming one of the summer's biggest box office draws. China played a significant role in the film's global success. Jurassic World Rebirth debuted in the country with a staggering $9.9 million on opening day, commanding over 50% of the total market share. It ultimately grossed $33.7 million during its first weekend, making it the year's biggest studio opening in China so far. The film's success in China signals strong audience engagement, especially when compared to recent Hollywood releases that struggled to connect with local viewers. In India, Jurassic World Rebirth delivered an impressive performance, grossing between ₹9 crore and ₹9.25 crore ($1.1–1.3 million) on its opening day. That made it the second-highest Hollywood opening in India in 2025, trailing only Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning. On Day 2, the film added another ₹2.84 crore, bringing the cumulative total to ₹11.84 crore. Given the crowded release calendar, these numbers are remarkable and point to continued traction in the Indian market. South Korea contributed significantly, bringing in $2.4 million on Saturday alone and totaling $5.1 million over the weekend. Rebirth claimed the top box office position in the country for three consecutive days. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom and Ireland posted a combined $7.5 million, representing 50% of the total weekend market share and outperforming competitors like F1 The Movie. In France, the film launched with $1.8 million, placing second only to Lilo & Stitch for the year. In Mexico, Rebirth pulled in $2.2 million on Friday alone, reaching $6.5 million by Sunday. The film opened at No. 1 in nearly every Latin American market. European territories like Spain, Italy, Germany, and Poland also delivered impressive returns, helping boost the international tally. The film was particularly dominant in markets such as Thailand (76% share), Poland (42%), and the UAE (40%), solidifying its global appeal. In Taiwan, it even outperformed the entire lifetime gross of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, demonstrating strong franchise loyalty. Directed by Gareth Edwards, known for Rogue One and Godzilla, Jurassic World Rebirth successfully blends new storytelling with the classic tone of Spielberg's original films. Edwards shot several sequences on 35mm film, adding a nostalgic texture that fans have widely praised. The cast features Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey, who deliver performances that resonate with audiences across age groups. Their dynamic adds emotional depth to the film's thrilling dinosaur action and gripping narrative. Unlike Dominion, which concluded the previous trilogy, Jurassic World Rebirth serves as a franchise reboot. It introduces a fresh plot centered on a dinosaur rescue mission and a race to develop a life-saving drug. Critics and fans alike have responded positively to this new direction, which moves away from the militarization and cloning themes of the earlier films. With more grounded storytelling, richer character development, and stunning visuals, the film is drawing in both longtime fans and new viewers. Positive reviews and strong word-of-mouth have helped the film maintain momentum despite a competitive summer movie landscape. With limited blockbuster competition in the coming week, Jurassic World Rebirth is expected to continue performing strongly in its second weekend. Industry analysts project a solid hold in the 40–50% drop range, which would place the film firmly on track for a potential $650–700 million global run if trends continue.
