Getting it cracking! Tom Cruise gets messy in a game of egg roulette with Late Night's Jimmy Fallon

He may be a Hollywood action hero but Tom Cruise certainly let his guard down for late night TV on Friday.
The 50-year-old actor played a game of egg roulette with Jimmy Fallon and lost.
Tom picked from an assortment of raw and boiled eggs for the gag, and found out soon in the game things were about to get really messy.


Tom and Jimmy took turns picking from a carton holding eight boiled eggs and four raw eggs and smashed their chosen egg against their head. The game ends when someone breaks two raw eggs on their head and loses.
Tom went first and promptly smashed a raw egg against his hair, prompting Fallon to double over in laughter.
'I told you I didn't have a good feeling about this, man,' Tom told Jimmy with a smile.
Jimmy went next and picked a hard-boiled egg.
Tom on his second pick again chose a raw egg and broke it against his head.


It wasn't the first time that Tom and Jimmy squared off.
The two went eye-to-eye last December in a Water War game, which is based on the card game War and includes lots of water.
The winner of each hand got to douse his opponent with a cup of water and the first to run out of cups won the right to blast the loser with a toy water cannon.
Tom won and thoroughly drenched Jimmy.
The actor has been making the talk show circuit lately to promote his new sci-film Oblivion.

He visited Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday night and also took part in a skit.
Kimmel gave Cruise an acting challenge by having him deliver ridiculous lines in a dramatic overtone.
'Is there a way to get the soup and the salad?' Tom asked as he was illuminated on the couch with a spotlight.
The Top Gun actor ended the dramatic query with his patented muscle-flurrying jaw clench.
In his new movie, Tom plays Jack Harper, a former Marine commander, in the sci-fi flick set in a not-too-distant future of 2073.


Jack is stationed on a fallen Earth following an alien invasion 60 years earlier.
The actor's character comes across an enigmatic stranger played by Olga Kurylenko who crash lands in a spacecraft and Jack is forced to question what he knows about Earth's near-destruction and life as he knows it.
The film also features British star Andrea Riseborough, Melissa Leo and Morgan Freeman.
Oblivion opens on April 19.

Tom Cruise on split from Katie Holmes: ‘I did not expect that’

The 50-year-old action star says he had an 'incredible amount of time to reflect' after Holmes walked away from their marriage.

Tom Cruise is finally speaking at length about getting over his failed marriage to actress Katie Holmes, nearly a year after their divorce.
According to E! News, in an interview with a German magazine amidst press rounds for his upcoming flick "Oblivion," Cruise, 50, describes being surprised as Holmes, 34, moved to dissolve their five-year marriage.

"I did not expect that," he said.
Just five days before his 50th birthday, on June 29 of last year the former "Dawson's Creek" actress announced she was separating from Cruise.


The split gave him an "incredible amount of time to reflect," ahead of the milestone birthday, he said.
Holmes has custody of the couple's now six-year-old daughter Suri, with Cruise gaining generous visitation rights.

"Life is a challenge," Cruise told the mag. "To be 50 and have experiences and think you have everything under control, and then it hits you-that's what life is…Life is tragicomic. You need a certain sense of humor."
The action star has since thrown himself into work. Cruise will follow "Oblivion" with another action flick, "All You Need is Kill," next year. He's also revealed another "Mission Impossible" film may be in the works.

Tom Cruise spies role as Man from UNCLE

Tom Cruise is set to spearhead a second big-screen take on a long-running 60s spy TV drama. The Mission: Impossible star is in talks to appear in a film based on The Man from UNCLE for director Guy Ritchie, according to Deadline.

Warner Bros has been developing a movie based on the cult espionage show since the 90s and Ritchie replaces Steven Soderbergh in the director's chair. The Ocean's Eleven film-maker had proposed a version with George Clooney in the lead, but Clooney later left the project, citing unwillingness to take on an action role because he was having surgery to his neck and back.

Cruise would be taking on a third action franchise, with Mission: Impossible certain to get a fifth outing in the wake of Brad Bird-directed Ghost Protocol's $694m (£459m) box-office haul last year and his recent Jack Reacher film (a hearty $215m worldwide on a $60m budget) also set for a follow up. The actor will be seen next on the big screen in sci-fi outings Oblivion, for Tron's Joseph Kosinski, and All You Need Is Kill, for The Bourne Identity's Doug Liman.

The original Man from UNCLE TV show, which aired from 1964 to 1968, saw Robert Vaughn and David McCallum as members of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement, the former playing American spy Napoleon Solo and the latter a Russian agent called Illya Kuryakin. It was one of a number of espionage shows that flourished after the success of the early James Bond films, and 007 creator Ian Fleming was among those involved in its conception.

The show joins other 60s spy series that have made it to the big screen, including Mission Impossible, Get Smart and The Avengers. Of these, only the first has proved to have any legs in multiplexes.

Ritchie is currently hot property in Hollywood after successfully directing two blockbuster action-oriented Sherlock Holmes films starring Robert Downey Jr as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's ingenious sleuth. He was recently reported to be the bookie's favourite to take on the next Bond film after fellow Briton Sam Mendes confirmed he will not return for a follow-up to the $1bn-grossing Skyfall.
