Fans Are Worried About Tom Cruise. Here's Why

Publish date: 2024-06-27

Even though Tom Cruise has long used the "Mission Impossible" franchise as his calling card for death-defying stunts, photos of a stunt involving the WWII plane still left fans awestruck. The action star was photographed stepping out of the cockpit of a 1941 Boeing B75N1 Stearman biplane, via The Sun. Not only did he walk out onto the wings of the plane while flying 2000 feet in the air — strapped in by a harness — but Cruise was photographed hanging upside down from the wings as the aircraft did a nosedive and performed several flips. The footage was captured while the crew worked in Cambridgeshire, England, and reportedly, the insane feat was only a practice run.

As photos of the stunt went viral on Twitter, fans expressed their disbelief. "I'm pretty sure Tom Cruise's goal is to die doing the craziest stunt ever," one Twitter user wrote. "Who wanna bet me a dollar Tom Cruise dies doing one of them stupid a** movie stunts?" another quipped. "Tom Cruise isn't going to die doing a stunt, the people hired by the studio to keep him safe on the other hand might end up getting hurt or killed," one fan mused.

In 2020, while still working on "Mission Impossible 7," Cruise was filmed by a fan as he sat perched atop a speeding train in Norway, per the Independent. When Cruise noticed he was being filmed he simply smiled and waved.
