Tom Cruise divides fans after flaunting his chiseled torso at 61 as fans say he looks even BETTER than men half his age – but others say you can’t fight Father Time

Tom Cruise has divided the internet after showing off his chiseled physique on a beach in Mallorca this weekend.

The Top Gun star, 61, turned heads after baring his six-pack abs in a pair of blue trunks as he waded into the water.

He also showed off his toned thighs and toned derriere, leaving many fans raving about how good he looks for his age.

“Dude is like 60 and still crushingly wild,” one commented.

Another wrote: ‘He’s a few years older than me and I wish I looked that good.’

One fan wrote: ‘Looks really good for his age. Respect anyone who stays fit like him at that age.”

While most comments were positive, some fans were critical of the Jerry Maguire actor’s physique.

“Father Time catches up with us all, no matter how fast we think we are going,” one person wrote cryptically.

“He may be good for his age, but what matters to me is what’s going on in his head!” one joked.

Another commented: ‘Do you think this is a ripped body? Oh yeah, for a man – if that was a woman with a body like that everyone would make fun of her. #double standards.”

There’s no secret behind Tom’s ultra-fit lifestyle, after the star previously revealed he enjoys a wide list of physical activities to stay in shape.

He told Men’s health: ‘Sea kayaking, caving… fencing, treadmill, weights… rock climbing, hiking… I jog… I do so many different activities.’

Constantly challenging his body, the star follows a five-day training plan that included three days of strength training and cardio, as well as two days of more ‘outdoor’ activities such as fencing or walking.

Besides having a great body, the actor has also maintained a youthful face

Tom has incorporated a range of exercises into his routine, including one-arm barbell presses, weighted lunges and deadlifts.

Expert PT Nick Lower previously told British GQ that Tom has the best team in the world who are up to date with the latest fitness science and technology.

He explained: ‘I do know that he uses a very expensive, high-end machine that, instead of being, say, a normal chest press machine, works your eccentric load and pushes you back.

“So instead of doing a set of ten, you could do a set of five and you’d have done just as much work.

“Whatever he does, it works. You meet him in real life and he looks 10 years younger.”
