Tom Cruise Reportedly Injured While Performing High-Flying Stunt For MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 6
Video has surfaced from the London set of Mission: Impossible 6 and it looks like daredevil extraordinaire Tom Cruise has injured himself while performing a dangerous stunt for the upcoming action sequel.
TMZ is reporting that 3x Academy Award-nominee Tom Cruise has injured himself while performing a stunt on the London set of Paramount's Mission: Impossible 6.
The legendary actor was attempting to jump from one building to another, but shockingly, fell just a little short of his mark and ended up hitting the side of the building instead. He managed to pull himself up over the ledge and even attempted to continue running through the take, but was noticeably limping and ultimately collapsed to his knees. He was then assisted by crew members and leaped back to the edge of the opposite building before being helped off-set.
The extent of his injuries are currently unknown, but you can view a video of the incident below. It's also unknown whether his apparent injury will affect the shooting schedule.
Cruise is no stranger to performing his own stunts, especially for his flagship Mission: Impossible series, having previously scaled the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, for Ghost Protocol and then, four years later, dangling from the side of an airplane for Rogue Nation. His storied stunt work has even transitioned over to his other films, including The Mummy, for which he filmed an amazing sequence in zero gravity, and the eagerly awaited American Made, for which he's completed several airplane sequences.
In 2018, Ethan Hunt returns for his sixth impossible mission.
