Certainly impressive, he has mad skilz.

For the record, this was 11 years ago.

I think there was a story about when he was filming Days of Thunder that he got really good, and that he could get serious, but that Nicole Kidman said no and that was that.

Dude pilots his own P-51 ...'nuff said.

The only thing I've seen that he doesn't do good in.....his interviews. He's so gd happy with his life that he can't stop smiling at every question.:)

Evidently, he became a pretty good amateur pool player before filming "color of money". He was coached by then world champ Mike Sigel. It would be fun to watch Cruise and Joe Rogan in a 9 ball race. My pick would be Rogan...mainly because Rogan has a love of the game, still plays, while I've never heard of Cruise showing up at a tournament. (Edit) What neither could do is come close to hanging with a pro.

Is he the modern day Paul Newman?

^^^ Better than PN in the action sequences...less than even in the dialogue scenes.

I haven't seen too many of his new movies, but did grew up watching those 80s Cruise films. I know nothing about Newman but his racing and a couple of his tough guy films.

Paul Newman in one of the greatest scenes ever...

He's a little guy, and if I had to guess, Type A, and seriously driven/intense. I assume in addition to being driven to excel, he's probably also got some natural physical ability.

He may be a nut, but he's good at what he does.

He's really quick. Seriously quick. Physically. His athleticism is impressive. I pay attention to that, and he happens to be pretty quick. I wouldn't try to punch him and I know with confidence he could outrun me. And I'm actually pretty quick. For an old fart. ;)

Well, Tom did race a Nissen in the SSA class in SCCA back in the 80's that was crewed out of Bob Sharps stable and was painted & sponsored the same way as another driver who I knew to go by the name of P. L. Newman.

There’s audio out there recorded during filming of TopGun when somebody on crew broke COVID protocol. Put the film in jeopardy, I think.

Tom did not hold back. Like he almost lost it.

Type A+.

Scientologist.

I'm not sure, but I doubt he can dunk a basketball...

I was at Road Atlanta for his first race in the Nissan. I remember all the cars going up the hill at turn 1 and him getting a little squirrley, but he gathered it up and did well.

Saw Paul Newman in the pits as well.

Eff effing no. Watch his scenes against PN in the color of money. He's a wooden hack.

And I'm no fanboy of Newman.

Do acrobatics in a helicopter. Drive a Formula One car.

It’s good to be Tom Cruise.
