In Hollywood, Tom Cruise is considered a legendary actor of action movies, he always performs dangerous stunts by himself.
At the age of 60, Tom Cruise continues to challenge the limits of age and fitness after more than 30 years of working in the film industry. Cruise is known for pursuing perfection in every role he takes on.
In his latest movie – Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One (Mission: Impossible: Karma – Part 1), Tom Cruise continues to amaze by performing the most dangerous stunt of his career. His performance so far.
In the action scene that is receiving a lot of attention, Tom Cruise rides a motorcycle off a high cliff in Norway. To make sure the scene was perfectly executed, Cruise rewrote the entire action six times to make sure everything was going according to his expectations for the scene.
In this scene, the character Ethan Hunt played by Tom Cruise will control a motorcycle down a high cliff, then Ethan Hunt will parachute and “land” safely.
There were no stuntmen to assist Tom Cruise in the making of this dangerous scene. In fact, Cruise risked death in skydiving.

To prepare for this dangerous scene, Tom Cruise practiced skydiving 500 times, performing motorcycle jumps up to 13,000 times. Fortunately for Tom Cruise and his associates, the process of making the scene went smoothly, without any unfortunate incidents.
The replays of the dangerous scene are for Tom Cruise to try to hold onto the motorcycle longer, “pose” in front of the camera more, before letting the motorcycle fall to the foot of the mountain. People are generally afraid of death, but by this time, perhaps death has been “bored”… Tom Cruise.
When the film crew shared about Tom Cruise’s latest stunt, the media and the public once again had the opportunity to admire his wholehearted devotion to the acting job.
In the past, Tom Cruise has always received praise for doing his own stunts in movies, but it is a fact that he is not comfortable with those compliments.
Appearing at the Cannes Film Festival 2022 (France), Tom Cruise once expressed his attitude to people asking too much about him risking himself to perform dangerous stunts.
The actor said: “No one asked dancer Gene Kelly why he kept dancing all by himself throughout his career. What if I risked my life to act in movies? That’s my job! I always thought about it. What else can I do to broaden the way I express the art of acting?
I always wonder how can I immerse the audience in an action movie? How can I keep my audience entertained? I am a movie star, so what I do is to best serve the work that I pursue.
When I make a movie, I try to use all the skills I have, all the knowledge I know, all the skills and knowledge that my associates possess, and also the strengths of the big screen. Cinema too… Making a movie was an extraordinary experience for me, because I learned a lot about people, about work, about art from it.”
