The 66-year-old “Mission: Impossible” star collapsed while eating at the Granville restaurant in North Hollywood, his manager Brad Kramer told Variety.
“He sounded like everyday Ving and cracked a joke over the phone,” Kramer added.

The star recently told Digital that explosions, car chases and high-altitude chaos aside, he’s never feared for his safety while bringing “Mission: Impossible” to life, all thanks to the steady hand of Tom Cruise.
“Tom Cruise made it quite safe for us,” Rhames insisted.
From the very beginning, Rhames said the 63-year-old star managed to surprise him.
“[What surprised me about him?] I’d say the fact that Tom Cruise does not see color,” Rhames said. “To work with a Caucasian actor who really didn’t see color, I was very moved by the experience.”
“[My favorite memories] are talking to him off-stage,” said Rhames. “Learning secrets he knew about the industry that he was able to talk to me about.”
The biggest lesson Rhames said Cruise passed along was surprisingly simple: “Treat each person fairly.”
