Tom Cruise has been everywhere this summer: Wembley for Taylor Swift, Glastonbury for Coldplay, Wimbledon for tennis and Paris for the Olympics.
But there were no festival falafels, no Centre Court strawberries and cream — or even Champagne on the Champs Elysees — for the Mission: Impossible star.
The Daily Mail’s Alison Boshoff reports that wherever he goes, the 62-year-old icon asks for steamed white fish and vegetables, without sauce, oil or butter.
Alcohol is also out of the question.
The movie star has said the secret to his success is that he works harder than anyone else, including getting up at 5:30 a.m. to go to the gym.

It was previously announced that instead of three main meals a day, the star opts for 15 small snacks.
His decision to snack fits better with his busy lifestyle. Tom chooses fruit, which helps him to reduce his anxiety compared to chips or chocolate.
In 2020, it was revealed that he was consuming only 1,200 calories a day, following a diet plan drawn up by David Beckham.
Tom avoids sugary snacks, processed foods and carbohydrates and prefers grilled and low-temperature dishes prepared for him by his personal chef.
Cooking at low temperatures is said to be better for you than cooking at high temperatures, as high-temperature cooking is linked to accelerated aging and chronic tissue inflammation.
Tom chooses products such as salmon, dark chocolate, raw oats, blueberries, ginger, beets, broccoli, olive oil, tomatoes and spinach.
He also makes sure he gets plenty of antioxidants, such as fruits, nuts and vegetables which also have anti-inflammatory properties, and supplements his diet with extra vitamins and minerals.
Singer Sting also owes his great shape to his macrobiotic diet, which consists of lots of vegetables and grains. He also tries to avoid toxins and processed foods with preservatives.

The singer is so committed to his diet that he reportedly takes his own chef on tour so he can maintain his diet when he’s away from home.
In 2015, Tom’s Mission Impossible co-star Simon Pegg opened up about the star’s healthy eating habits.
He told E!: “Tom is disciplined to a T. It’s amazing.”
The comedian added that Tom offered his chef services on the set of the fifth instalment, explaining: ‘It wasn’t like boring rabbit food or a protein shake.
“They were delicious stews and delicious little dates filled with peanut butter and sprinkled with coconut as a snack, and these little truffle balls were delicious.”
Simon also denied rumors that the movie star forced the cast to follow his strict diet.
The Hot Fuzz star explained: ‘He was like, “Here: If you want to do what I do, do it.” It was all his. It was given to us by him.’
Tom has maintained the figure that sent fans wild when he burst onto the showbiz scene in 1986 with his breakthrough role in Top Gun (pictured)
