Tom Cruise requires custom-made thongs for him to wear during the filming of stunt scenes, it has been revealed.
A source close to the 'Top Gun' actor has revealed that Cruise wears the G-strings, as they are "comfortable and flexible" and made from soft and stretchy material, the Daily Star reported.
The insider said that the 51-year-old actor felt unrestricted when performing stunts and action sequences, in those special thongs.
The source asserted that the actor has been performing stunts for years and it has taken a toll on his body and the thongs now help him improve the flexibility.
Wardrobe staff has been asked to keep as many as 50 thongs, so that Cruise can always have a fresh one available to him.
