Did you know that the 'Top Gun' star Tom Cruise never does an action scene without a thong? Yes, you heard that right!

Apparently, Cruise puts on a thong every time before an action scene as it is “comfortable and flexible.”

The 51-year-old actor who has starred in a spate of action movies like "Mission Impossible", "Days Of Thunder" and "Oblivion", slipped on the undergarment after facing severe discomfort while doing heavy-duty action scenes.

"There aren't many movies where you don't see Tom rolling around on the ground or doing a back flip off the side of a skyscraper. Over the years it's taken its toll and he had his wardrobe department rustle him up a comfy thong," a source said.

"He was embarrassed at first but he sees it as a way of improving his flexibility as he gets older," the source added.

Strange are the ways of the world, stranger the actors'!
