“This is a day off for me, because I am not shooting,” Tom said in his interview with Bella magazine, via Contact Music. “I’m just chillin’ now. I don’t have days off.”

“Look, I’m fortunate, I’m lucky,” Tom explained. “I’ve spent my life on movie sets and traveling the world, which is what I always wanted to do; so this is not work – I’m living the dream.”

Since starring in his first movie Endless Love back in 1981, Tom has had at least one movie come out almost every year in the past four decades.

Tom worked on filming Top Gun: Maverick and the two upcoming Mission Impossible movies essentially all at the same time over these past two years.

Top Gun: Maverick is set to hit theaters on May 27. Check out the latest trailer here!
