Tom Cruise is falling hard for his “Mission: Impossible” fans. Literally.If there was any doubt that Cruise does his own stunts, his latest video posted on social media Sunday should settle that bet. In it, the “Top Gun: Maverick” superstar sits in the open doorway of a plane, his body hanging out and his hair blowing wildly.“Hey, everyone.
Here we are over stunning South Africa, and we’re filming ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning’ Parts 1 and 2,” Cruise yells to overpower the sound of the plane, his voice distorting in the wind. “I didn’t want the year to end without thanking you all for coming out to the theaters, and thank you for supporting ‘Top Gun: Maverick.’”You can check it out in the video above.There’s a tap on his shoulder that turns out to be “Dead Reckoning” director, Christopher McQuarrie, who tells Cruise, “Hey, listen, we really have got to roll. We’ve got to get this shot.”With that, Cruise turns his back to the open air, leans back and falls out of the plane, all while a camera remains close on him.
Smiling as his body plummets to the South African coastline below, he says, “As always, thank you for allowing us to entertain you. It truly is the honor of a lifetime.”With the land below getting close, he pivoted his greeting. “I’m running out of altitude, so I’ve got to get back to work.
We’ve got to get this shot. You have a very safe and happy holiday. We’ll see you at the movies.”And with that, he tucks in his legs as his body spins rapidly down.Cruise has gone on to produce and star in all eight “Mission Impossible” films.

.British TV personality Jeremy Clarkson recently wrote a horrendous op-ed about how much he hates Meghan Markle, the kind of thing that you'd expect to find on the seedier corners of the internet but instead was printed in the Sun. Not only was his column misogynistic and cruel, it's also badly written and doesn't have a point besides being hateful.
While Tom Cruise just seems like the type of person people shouldn’t like, with his Scientology background and the occasional less-than-savory story about his personal life, there’s no denying the man is one of the biggest stars on the planet. And he’s also one of the rare people in the film industry who is seemingly directly plugged in to whatever audiences are craving.
