Tom Cruise's Stunt Work at 62 for Mission: Impossible 8

Tom Cruise, at 62, continues to push the boundaries of stunt work in the upcoming 'Mission: Impossible 8.' Recent filming in Oxfordshire, England, captured Cruise hanging mid-air from an inverted yellow Stearman biplane, without a visible parachute. In the scene, he grapples with co-star Esai Morales, who plays the antagonist Gabriel, while a pilot in a green suit—meant to be digitally removed—navigates the plane. Cruise is known for performing his own stunts, a legacy he continues from previous installments of the franchise, including underwater breath holds and climbing the Burj Khalifa. The film, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, promises to deliver another high-octane adventure, following the storyline of 'Dead Reckoning' where Hunt battles a rogue AI. Despite recent injuries, Cruise remains enthusiastic and committed to the physically demanding role.
