After repeatedly impressing fans with his personality and acting abilities, Tom Cruise made headlines on Monday with an insane stunt in which he jumped out of a helicopter after thanking his fans for supporting his 2022 hit Top Gun: Maverick. The film broke the box office with its stunning run, and it seems it will not slow down after its digital release either.
This stunt comes as part of his upcoming project, Mission Impossible 7. As the days slide by, Tom Cruise seems more and more ready to take on new challenges. In the one-and-a-half-minute video that Cruise posted on Twitter, he thanked his fans, saying:
"Hey everyone. Here we are over sunny South Africa. We are filming Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Parts 1 and 2. I didn’t want the year to end without thanking you all for coming out to the theatres. And thank you for supporting Top Gun: Maverick."
Following this, he has a brief discussion with the director of the film, Christopher McQuarrie, before jumping out in breathtaking fashion. This has created quite a buzz among the fanbase of the actor, which also seems to be increasing with every passing day.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is scheduled for release in the United States on July 14, 2023, while the sequel, Dead Reckoning Part Two, is set to be released on June 28, 2024.
Fans react to Tom Cruise's message before the insane stunt
Since posting the video on Monday, social media sites like Twitter have been buzzing with reactions from fans of Tom Cruise. The general emotion around the video was quite the same across the globe, with numerous retweets and a lot of love showered on the veteran actor.
One of the things that fascinates fans even more after watching the video is Tom Cruise's age.
This almost came in sync with Top Gun: Maverick winning Best Picture at the New Mexico Critics Award a day before, effectively bringing the film to the forefront.
Top Gun: Maverick became one of the highest-grossing films of 2022. It was directed by Joseph Kosinski with a script from Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and Christopher McQuarrie. The film also starred Val Kilmer, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, and Ed Harris.
The synopsis for the film reads:
"After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. Training a detachment of graduates for a special assignment, Maverick must confront the ghosts of his past and his deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who choose to fly it."
Top Gun: Maverick will be available for streaming on December 22, 2022, on Paramount+.
