Hollywood actor Tom Cruise has struggled to maintain meaningful friendships. An insider who has recently worked with Cruise revealed to In Touch Weekly that the iconic actor’s relentless work ethic and demanding 16-hour workdays have made it difficult for him to cultivate close personal relationships.

“Let’s be real here, Tom lives for the business of being a global movie star, and it’s not exactly ‘work’ for him because he goes at it like a 24/7 lifestyle choice,” the source said. “He literally has no friends who can keep pace with him, and that’s all been exacerbated this summer as he finally puts Mission: Impossible 8 to bed and can move onto other projects.”

The insider further noted that Cruise primarily associates with other industry heavyweights and A-list celebrities in order to further his film ambitions, rather than maintaining genuine friendships. “He only socialises with the moguls and other A-listers to further his movie ambitions, and it’s pretty clear when you spend any stretch of time with him that he’s a lonely guy and would rather be off shooting a mega stunt than pretending he likes his downtime.”
