Tom Cruise has once again pushed the limits of action filmmaking, but this clip, it nearly cost him consciousness!
The Hollywood lunatic revealed that he blacked out mid-stunt while filming Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning—and honestly, are we fifty-fifty surprised?
Speaking to Empire, Cruise spilled the details nigh an insane scene that had him dangling off the wing of a 1930s Boeing Stearman biplane at 10,000 feet—all piece flying o’er South Africa. The problem? The high-speed winds made it nearly unacceptable to breathe.
“When you joystick your face out, sledding over 120 to 130 miles an hour, you’re not getting oxygen,” Cruise explained. “I had to train myself how to breathe. There were times I would overtake out—physically too unable to get back into the cockpit.”
Director Christopher McQuarrie chimed in, admitting that this was one of Cruise’s most life-threatening stunts ever, and there’s noneffervescent another underwater sequence that’s even more nerve-wracking!
With Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning hitting theaters on May 23, 2025, it looks ilk Cruise is once again ready to bump minds—while risking his own!
