As it states in his Twitter bio, Tom Cruise has been “running in movies since 1981.” It’s self-deprecating, sure, but it’s also 100 percent accurate.
Is it really even a Tom Cruise movie if he doesn’t do that signature sprint of his, pumping those little arms as fast as he can while covering distance at speed that are both equally ridiculous for a man who turns 61 years old in a matter of weeks? The answer is no, and he’s a good enough sport to throw his weight behind Global Running Day like only he can.
Of course, there’s some shameless self-promotion thrown in after the actor used a GIF of himself running from Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One to celebrate the occasion, while offering a reminder that he’s been running on our screens as Ethan Hunt for a quite frankly astonishing 27 years. Is he going to give it up and rest easy for even a second? Don’t bet on it.
