Not one to shy away from giving his own artistic input to filming proceedings, Tom gesticulated as he spoke to crew and gave them directions.

He kept warm in a black padded jacket, and looked cheery as he continued with filming for the exciting new movie. 

Tom showed off his masculine frame in the fitted outfit - the result of an intense year of training to shape up for the role.

Despite the original Mission Impossible coming out 21 years ago when Tom was just 33, he has maintained his youthful looks, and hardly looks different from the inaugural movie.

The star has kept his slimline figure in check with gruelling workouts, with fitness being of utmost importance - for the last Mission Impossible film, he was famously trained to be able to hold his breath for six minutes.

'Normally in underwater sequences, people hold their breath for 10 seconds, 15 seconds max,' Cruise explained in a behind-the-scenes video for Access Hollywood.

'So I had to prove to everyone that it was actually safe and spend time with the safety guys and the safety officers to show them not only is it safe, it's better that I know how to hold my breath because I'm going to be very relaxed.

'No-one's going to have to rush in. No-one has to panic.'

While most of the details of the plot of the latest film in the franchise have been kept tightly under wraps, Skydance Media CEO David Ellison revealed that Tom will be performing the biggest stunt sequence of his career in the film.

Ellison told Collider: 'What Tom is doing in this movie I believe will top anything that’s come before. It is absolutely unbelievable—he’s been training for a year.

'It is going to be, I believe, the most impressive and unbelievable thing that Tom Cruise has done in a movie, and he has been working on it since right after Rogue Nation came out [in 2015]. It’s gonna be mind-blowing.'
