I like that Cruise is a legit stuntman in addition to an actor. He has license for every kind of vehicle and dangerous activity. When he visits people he's been known to fly himself around in his chopper. He trained his fellow actors on top gun to do what they do and film themselves as they do it.
Just crazy stuff. Some people are "stars" in the media but live their lives outside the studio pretty ordinarily outside of signing autographs and snapping selfies. Cruise pretty well embodies all the things that people imagine being a larger than life action star to be.
You can't help but respect a person that LIVES their calling like that, and appears to have fun doing it.
