Tom Cruise's business team reveals that he has few genuine friends and is on the verge of burnout due to his demanding 16-hour workdays despite his friendly public persona.

The insider, who has recently worked with Cruise, noted to In Touch Weekly, "Let's be real here, Tom lives for the business of being a global movie star, and it's not exactly 'work' for him because he goes at it like a 24/7 lifestyle choice."

The Mission Impossible star has been working non-stop in Hollywood since the 1980s, rising to fame with iconic roles and becoming a household name by 1996.

He's since made seven Mission: Impossible movies, with the eighth currently in production.

The source continued: “He literally has no friends who can keep pace with him, and that’s all been exacerbated this summer as he finally puts Mission: Impossible 8 to bed and can move onto other projects.”

“He only socialises with the moguls and other A-listers to further his movie ambitions, and it’s pretty clear when you spend any stretch of time with him that he’s a lonely guy and would rather be off shooting a mega stunt than pretending he likes his downtime.”

The Top Gun Maverick star's impressive work ethic has led to a prolific career, with over 50 films under his belt.

Despite his success, the actor shows no signs of slowing down or retiring anytime soon, according to a source close to him.
