Time stands still for fresh-faced Tom Cruise as he films Mission Impossible IV

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Fountain of youth: Tom Cruise looked fresh faced as he left the set of Mission: Impossible IV which he is shooting in Prague, Czech Republic


It's either the love of a beautiful woman or his three kids that are keeping him youthful - either way Tom Cruise doesn't look a day over 35 - even though he's nearing 50-years-old.

The superstar looked fresh-faced and wrinkle free as he posed with fans after a busy day of filming.

Cruise is in Prague filming Mission: Impossible IV and like his other recent films, he's taking on a lot of the stunts himself and is as active as actors half his age.


Ageing gracefully: Cruise has barely aged since starring in the first Mission: Impossible nearly 15 years ago


The first Mission: Impossible movie was released nearly 15 years ago and Cruise doesn't appear to have aged at all since then.

Known for keeping fit and healthy with regular exercise sessions and clean living Tom has never admitted going under the knife to keep his boyish looks.

But with botox being the staple for many Hollywood stars to keep wrinkles and lines at bay, it would not be surprising if the actor had indulged himself.

He recently credited his four-year-old daughter Suri as being his fountain of youth.
Cruise admitted that his other children Connor, 15 and Isabella, 17 and happy life with wife Katie Holmes is the top secret of maintaining a youthful attitude.

Cruise, 48, first began playing the secret agent in 1996 and this is the fourth Mission: Impossible film.

Lost star Josh Holloway has joined the cast and will star alongside Cruise, Oscar-nominee Jeremy Renner and British actor Simon Pegg.

Mission: Impossible II is one of the top 100 most successful films of all time in the U.S. To date it has made over $215million at the box office.

Cruise is a master of disguise in this new instalment of the hit franchise - dressing as a Russian soldier and in another scene wearing a Bruce Springsteen t-shirt as he reprises his role as Ethan Hunt.

It's clear from the on-set images that the new instalment is going to offer even more spy adventures and excitement than the first three.

Mission: Impossible IV will be released in the U.S. in December 2011.
