What unites Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Diesel, Cruise and Ford? Besides being action heroes and their blockbuster movies making a fortune, this action quintet was born in July. Chance? Maybe, anyway, according to numerology, people born in July are indomitable optimists who never give up. Let’s see what’s new and what they’ve been up to.
Tom Cruise (July 3)
In the world of film, this 61-year-old actor is an established authority and has long since definitively switched to films where his hero gets a proper dose of adrenaline. The star of Top Gun: Maverick and the Mission: Impossible series loves action.
It’s been two years (that is, in his 59 years) since it was created a stunt scene filmed for the film Mission: Impossible Retribution – Part One. The video that recaps her shoot is breathtaking. Cruise jumps off a motorcycle ramp from a rock into open space, the entire crew watching the screen intently, waiting to see if his parachute opens. Director Christopher McQuarrie was enthusiastic the first time, for him the scene was ok. And Tom? He wanted to ride it again, he felt he could have lasted longer on the bike. He completed it a total of six times… And you can go see the result in the cinema, the film premieres on July 13.

Sylvester Stallone (July 6)
Today’s birthday boy and the guy who welcomes two sevens is one of those who are officially of retirement age, but that hasn’t stopped them from being active. When he looks back on his fifty-year career, he has a lot to be proud of. He gave life to legendary heroes and will forever be Rocky and Rambo. Next year, he will return to the big screen in the movie Cliffhanger in the role of mountain rescuer and climber Gabe Walker. Since 2010, he has also been at the head of a band of mercenaries in the Expendables film series, selling out cinemas together with other older action heroes.
You will learn most about what he has been up to in the documentary Sly (which is Sylvester’s nickname), which should appear on Netflix soon. Perhaps he will also talk about how he coped with adversity: he was born with a partially paralyzed face and was constantly sick as a child.
With his third wife, more than twenty years younger and the mother of his three daughters, they overcame the crisis last year. Jennifer Flavin filed for divorce, because she thought Sly was being too wasteful. Finally, they took a second chance and decided to expand the property by filming the reality show The Family Stallone. They let people peek into their lives for money.

Harrison Ford (July 13)
The acting legend, already made famous by Star Wars and has a number of dramatic films to his credit, for which he received enthusiastic ovations (for example, the relationship with Michelle Pfeiffer Under the Surface or the crime film Fugitive), is still in good shape, of course, considering his age.
When a journalist asked him at this year’s Cannes premiere of Indiana Jones and the Beast how he was still so “hot”, he stood stunned, speechless but surely pleased. It’s no wonder, he’s officially the oldest action hero and he even managed to shed a few pounds for the continuation of the series. Otherwise, he didn’t have to prepare, Indy has belonged to him for decades. In 2010, he married actress Calista Flockhart, more than twenty years his junior, and they are still together.

Vin Diesel (July 18)
Self-critically, he said about himself that he is not the sharpest pencil in the pencil case (meaning intelligent) or the biggest of Hollywood’s handsome men, but he is cool. He became the star of the now cult Fast and Furious series, the tenth episode premiered this year and he played Dominic Toretto again. He was once the target of criticism for weight fluctuationsbut attentive viewers will surely notice that even though it gets stronger and bigger every year, it keeps itself in great shape.
Although he looks like a tough guy, the soon-to-be 56-year-old actor is a family guy and has three children and a happy relationship with his life partner, Paloma. Yes, he is not an actor of big roles and complex dialogues, but he never pretended to be, and with his own humor he is, for example, the voice of the tree creature Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy films.

Arnold Schwarzenegger (July 30)
He came from Austria to fulfill his American dream and as he said, he did. Won seven times Mr. Olympia (a prestigious bodybuilding competition), he was Conan, the Terminator, the Predator, a kindergarten cop and a twin. And he made his mark in politics as well, serving as governor of California from 2003 to 2011. He declared that if he could run for president, he would. Only a small thing prevents him from this: he was not born in the USA.
In 1986, he married a woman from one of the most important American families – the Kennedy dynasty – and proclaimed that family was everything to him. But in 2011, Maria Shriver filed for divorce when it was revealed that he had an illegitimate daughter with a housekeeper. The proceedings dragged on for ten years. His current girlfriend is 49-year-old physiotherapist Heather Milligan.
He could be enjoying retirement, but he will be 76 years old, but now that he is no longer active in politics, he has decided to share his life story in the Netflix documentary Arnold. And he also returned in front of the camera as an actor – in the series Fubar he plays a former secret agent.
