Tom Cruise is really willing to do anything to make his own stunts and this incredible story proves it!

An exceptional actor who can excel in all areas, Tom Cruise surpasses his peers in one particular area in particular: stunts.

Indeed, for many years, and especially thanks to the many adventures of Agent Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible saga, the Hollywood star has made it a point of honor to stay on the front line without being studied.

So, over the years, we have been able to see him slalom between the mountains at the controls of a helicopter, while flying on the wing of an airplane, jump on a motorcycle from a dizzying cliff … and climb the facade of the Burj Khalifa, one of the most impressive skyscrapers in the world, located in Dubai.

“How could this happen?”

Seeing these completely insane sequences on screen, one might wonder how the production of these feature films could allow the actor to take such risks. This is Matt Damon, who was recently interviewed Bingewho answered this question with the story of a dinner shared with Tom Cruise a few years ago.

“I remember having dinner with him one day and he had just done a stunt where he was running around the building “Matt Damon explained. “And I asked him, ‘Can you tell me how this could have happened?’

“I found a new security manager.”

Between two bursts of laughter, no doubt caused by Tom Cruise’s surprise at the story, Matt Damon reported the latter’s words:

“He’s a really passionate guy, he said to me: “Yes, I’ll tell you! (…) I have been thinking about this plan for 15 years. So I went to the security manager and explained everything. He told me we couldn’t do it, it was too dangerous. (…). So I found a new security manager.'”

If you’re wondering how the production of Mission: Impossible agreed to follow Tom Cruise on all his adventures, now you have the answer: He doesn’t always give them a choice!
