00:03 Everything was there--

00:07 the smile, the charm, the physicality.

00:11 He was cocky, self-assured.

00:14 There is an intensity, a drive.

00:17 And that drive and that determination

00:19 manifests itself on screen.

00:21 More often than not, if you went to see a Tom Cruise movie,

01:23 He's the biggest star.

01:25 And I don't know if anybody's had that long of a stretch

01:31 and then they were the biggest star in the world

01:32 when they were 60.
