Tom Cruise Defies Age with Stunning Shirtless Stunt in New Mission Impossible Clip
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING: TOM CRUISE'S BODY TAKES A BEATING IN NEW BTS FOOTAGE
In a shocking revelation, Tom Cruise has shared behind-the-scenes footage from his latest Mission Impossible film on Instagram, showcasing the grueling training and stunts that went into making the movie. The 63-year-old action star, who has been dating Ana de Armas, posted unreleased footage featuring him dressed in a wet suit to film scenes in a deep tank of water.
"I trained for over a year to be able to physically handle the amount of oxygen deprivation," Tom said in the clip's voiceover. The dedication and hard work he put into preparing for this role is awe-inspiring, but it's clear that his body paid the price.
According to sources close to the production, Tom suffered severe injuries during filming, including separated joints in his fingers caused by the sheer force of hanging from a biplane. "This almost broke my back," Tom admitted, describing the pain as "brutal." Director Christopher McQuarrie corroborated this, saying that Tom's hands were swollen and painful to watch.
The new digital release gives viewers an unfiltered look at the wear-and-tear on Tom's body throughout the filming process. Other B-roll outtakes showed the actor dangling from a plane and sitting behind the wheel of a car as it flips over in a tunnel. It's clear that Tom was willing to push his limits to get the perfect shot.
The clip also features McQuarrie, who gushes about the franchise's commitment to innovation. "I'm always surprised by what we're doing," he says. "That's the amazing thing about this franchise – it's all about constantly pushing the envelope as far as we can." This dedication to excellence has earned Mission: Impossible a reputation for being one of the most thrilling and action-packed franchises in Hollywood.
But despite Tom's impressive stunts and McQuarrie's innovative approach, the movie didn't quite live up to expectations at the box office. Disney's Lilo & Stitch remake sat at the top of the box office over Memorial Day weekend, while Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning earned less than half of what its competition did.
The numbers are staggering: Disney's film raked in an estimated $145.5 million by Sunday, while Tom's movie pulled in about $77.5 million domestically and $127 million internationally. It seems that audiences were willing to shell out big bucks for a family-friendly film, but not as much for an action-packed blockbuster like Mission: Impossible.
Despite the disappointing box office numbers, the new digital release of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning gives fans an unprecedented look at the making of the movie. With Tom's behind-the-scenes footage and McQuarrie's insight into the production process, viewers can get a glimpse into what it takes to make a Hollywood blockbuster.
As the movie becomes available for digital purchase, fans are sure to be impressed by the stunts, action sequences, and Tom's dedication to bringing this thrilling story to life. Whether or not you've seen the movie in theaters, the new digital release is a must-watch for any Mission: Impossible fan.
