00:03 Everything was there--
00:07 the smile, the charm, the physicality.
00:11 He was cocky, self-assured.

01:14 that he keeps doing this.

01:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:20 He's Tom Cruise.
01:22 He's not just a big star still.
01:23 He's the biggest star.
01:25 And I don't know if anybody's had that long of a stretch
01:28 where they were the biggest star in the world when they were 25
01:31 and then they were the biggest star in the world
01:32 when they were 60.
