Tom Cruise, who is getting older, is determined to beat the hands of time. The "Top Gun" celebrity is reportedly investigating strange face-freezing practices. However, he is still afflicted with sagging bags under his eyes, driving the self-obsessed hunk into a tizzy. Sources have stated that he is researching these mysterious rituals.

On October 10, the 62-year-old star of "Mission: Impossible" was seen arriving at Battersea Heliport in England to film sequences for his popular espionage series. He was seen with puffy eyes as he came.

"He hates the idea of going under the knife because he's terrified that it could leave him looking like a caricature of himself," an insider told GLOBE Magazine. "He's seen so much bad plastic surgery in his time.”

In 2021, Cruise caused a stir at a baseball game in San Francisco by appearing to have recently had Botox and fillers put into his mug. This raised many eyebrows.

"He had that chipmunk cheek nightmare when he got talked into getting filler in his face and it took months to go down — he was humiliated," the insider dished.

It was previously reported that Cruise is already a fan of his cryotherapy chamber, which medical professionals utilize to freeze and remove abnormal tissue. He has installed it in his house because he is under the impression that being exposed to freezing temperatures slows down the aging process. However, judging by the eye bags, this is not nearly enough.

According to the source, Tom has exhausted all noninvasive methods of reducing the appearance of his under-eye bags, but to no avail. His appearance on camera is crucial to his income thus this is a primary concern for him.

The insider added that everyone is telling him he should just get them mended. Tom is still hesitant to have the procedure done, even though it's common practice now.

This man never seems to get enough rest. Once "Mission: Impossible 8" is over, Tom will have a window of opportunity to film his next picture. Variety has reported that the film starring Tom and Alejandro G. Iñárritu is scheduled to commence filming in the United Kingdom very soon.

The precise beginning date has not been determined, although it may occur as soon as the following month. Sandra Huller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, and Sophie Wilde are among the other well-known actors who appear in the film alongside Tom Cruise.

Even though the plot specifics are unknown, Iñárritu collaborated with his “Birdman” co-writers, Nicolas Giacobone and Alexander Dinelaris, to compose the script himself.

Business Times has reached out to Tom Cruise for comments.
