But he's back - stronger and fitter than ever and still swinging from heart-stopping heights with little more than a rope and his wits keeping him company.
And while he may only be a year shy of turning 50, there's no stopping Tom Cruise, as he returns as the spy in the fourth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise.
The first trailer for the new film, which is called Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, was released online today and promises more explosions, more heart-in-the-mouth stunts and even some humour courtesy of Simon Pegg.
And once again, ever the adrenaline junkie, Cruise, who turns 49 on Sunday, insisted on performing his own stunts which will leave fans in awe and with their hearts in their mouths.
Watch trailer:
In one scene he is seen precariously gripped to a building 2,000ft up as he clings onto the Burj Kahlifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world, which, even by his standards, was Cruise's most dangerous yet,
Cruise is also seen running away from several earth-shattering explosions including in Moscow after The Kremlin is blown up by a huge terrorist bomb.
He has filmed many for his character, Impossible Missions Force agent Ethan Hunt,and designs them and meticulously calculates and goes through every jump, roll, skid and slide with his co-stars and the director.
Speaking to the Daily Record this summer, he said: 'I want to entertain the audience and part of making these movies is doing my own stunts.
