Hollywood legend Tom Cruise showed off his rippling body while out filming for a new project under the sun.

The Mission Impossible star, 61, showed no signs of slowing down with age as he was spotted in navy swimming trunks and a hench physique.

He was certainly rocking that hot ‘dad’ bod.

The actor, who has long been known for doing his own stunts in his daring, action-packed movies, seemed to be all smiles as he entered the ocean while at Formentor beach in Pollensa. 

Elsewhere in the day, he chucked on more comfy attire as he swapped the topless action out for a sandy sunhat, simple grey top, striped blue shorts and a classic trainer sock pairing.

You know, as opposed to the usual sandals you would expect to find on the famous beach.

The luxury seaside location has seen many well known names at its shore, including the likes of Winston Churchill and Charlie Chaplin.

The father-of-three was joined on the day by acclaimed film director Alejandro G. Iñárritu. The Top Gun star was seen sharing laughs with the director, both waist deep in water.

At another point Tom was ferried around the waves on a boat.

The actor and Mexican filmmaker have been rumoured to be working together as far back as February when Iñárritu appeared to be in talks with Warner Bros to create his first English language project since The Revenant (the film which secured Leonardo DiCaprio his Oscar).

If looks are anything to go by, this is yet another film where Tom will be hands-on.And he is fitter than ever.

Just last month guests at Victoria Beckham’s extravagant birthday bash reported seeing Tom do the splits and that you would ‘never know’ he was in his sixties.

Last year he wowed audiences as he reprised his role in the latest instalment of the Mission Impossible franchise.

Previously on Graham Norton he spoke about the importance of doing his own stunts.

‘I feel that [when] acting you’re bringing everything, you know, physically and emotionally, to a character in a story,’ he said at the time.

‘And I’m able to do it [stunts], and I’ve trained for 30 years doing things like this that it allows us to put cameras in places where you normally are not able to.’

And at Cannes last year he quipped: ‘Would you ask Gene Kelly why he does all his own dancing?’ when asked about doing in his own deadly action sequences.

While filming for Mission Impossible he attempted his ‘most dangerous’ stunt yet after flying his motorcycle off a steep cliff, free-falling and finally, opening a parachute.

He performed 13,000 motorcycle crosses and 500 skydives through years of preparation for the big moment.

‘I have to get so good at this that there’s just no way that I miss my marks. You train and drill every little aspect over and over and over and over again,’ he told press at the time.

Here’s hoping he gets to execute many more stunts in this latest film.
