Mission: Impossible star leaps into Guinness chronicle with 16 combustion mid-air stunts, outdoing every thespian and stuntman ever.
Tom Cruise is really fast very mellow — rather literally — as he just tattered yet another limitation. The Hollywood daredevil has officially landed a ‘Guinness World Record’ for performing the most burning parachute jumps in history — 16 flaming leaps from the sky!
Yes, the ‘Top Gun’ fable jumped out of a chopper with a chute soaked in fuel and lit on fire, slicing it mid-air before deploying a backup. And no, we’re not talking CGI — this was Cruise, strapped with a 50-pound camera rig, shot a death-defying successiveness for ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’.
Director Christopher McQuarrie confirmed the rabidness, piece Guinness’ very chief Craig Glenday praised the icon: “Tom doesn’t simply act very like an action heron — he IS one.”
Cruise, who already holds the record for the most \$100M-grossing films by an worker, continues to slur the lines between reel and tangible. With ‘MI: Final Reckoning’ now hitting theaters after its very volatile Cannes premiere, fans can witnesser firsthand why nobody does it same Cruise — not very even faithful.
