The scene in the new MI where he is hanging from an airplane, while taking off to 5000 feet is actually him.

Meh, I'd do it. I'm sure it's perfectly safe with a safety harness and he is probably only risking bruises.

Tom Cruise might be a midget whackjob, but man, that guy has had a hell of a life.

I gotta ask, why? It isn't like you can really see him in those, so why risk the star? Do close-ups on the ground with a big-ass fan blowing his hair back, stunt double in the air.

You would have to pay me more to not do that. It looks fun as hell. In Tom's case he feels he is just short of immortal due to the screwy scientology BS he believes. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

He's a hell of a good performer, and seems to take his job very seriously.

It's a risky business but he's the kind to hang it all out there and not just be the plane old actor. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Publicity. Plane and simple. It's a risky business but he's the kind to hang it all out there and not just be the plane old actor. That's kind of a windy reply, but it did get the flaps up. |

View Quote those aren't the only camera angles or even the camera angles that will be used at all in the actual scene. If you look close you can see a gyro stabilized camera in fron tof tom mounted on the outside of the plane. the look on his face alone being thousands of feet in the air with the wind ripping past at 300 miles an hour is going to far exceed any amount of green screen work that will look fake |

The most dangerous thing about that stunt is that it's on an A400M. They don't have the best record.

this is him too, he might be weird - but he's a good actor http://cdn-wac.emirates247.com/polopoly_fs/1.431787.1323259848!/image/91676822.gif View Quote Didn't he free climb that? |

He's nuts about his new religion but the guy is 110 dedicated to his work. Excellent actor and extremely coordinated.

I think he's admitted to being an adrenaline junky. I always got the impression he can't turn down the intensity.
|

He's just trying to be top gun in a risky business but his days of thunder will come soon enough.

American Serviceman risk as much, under much sketchier circumstances, for a lot less Money.

He is crazy as hell, but a great actor. Doubt I would invite him over to my house for dinner with the family, but I would happily buy him a beer.

I think it's cool when actors do their own stunts. It does take balls, whether it's for publicity or not.
But Jackie Chan is probably my favorite. |
|
His hanging off the building in the last Mission Impossible was pretty badass.
I could not do any of that shit. He always does his own stunts. |
|
He's nuttier than a squirrel turd, but i tend to like his movies. He's a decent actor and i can respect that. Plus, he's banged Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes, two of the hottest women on earth.
