I always wanted to be a move star: Tom Cruise

The 50-year-old actor, who split with actress wife Katie Holmes in June this year, says he dreamed of making films when he was just 4-years-old and always relishes the challenge of taking on a new character with every film he makes, reported Showbiz spy.

"It's always exciting to create new characters and I get to live the dream by travelling the world and meeting new people and new cultures.

"I feel very privileged to be able to do something that I love. I remember being four years old and dreaming about making movies. It's a great life," he said.

The actor-producer is currently working on his upcoming film "All You Need Is Kill", where he is playing a soldier.
