But now, the drought could end with his next project titled Digger.The first teaser of Digger dropped on Thursday revealing a different side of the acting legend.
The 63-year-old can be seen dancing with a shovel dressed in an oversized T-shirt, basketball shorts, and cowboy boots.

The movie is being marketed as a “a comedy of catastrophic proportions” which stars Tom as Digger Rockwell, the most powerful man in the world.
Interestingly, the movie is directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, the man responsible for securing an Oscar for Best Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant.
The movie is slated to release in October 2026.
