Tom Cruise, Hollywood's adrenaline junkie, has done it again! At 62, he's proven age is just a number in the world of action. This time, he's claimed the title of the world's most fearless performer by setting a new Guinness World Record - 16 jumps with a flaming parachute!

The director of "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning," Christopher McQuarrie, declared that this sequel is a true tribute to Tom Cruise's relentless spirit and commitment to real-life stunts.

Riding the Flames into the Record Books

Cruise's record-breaking stunt took place during filming, where he successfully completed 16 jumps from a helicopter, setting his parachute ablaze each time before safely landing with a backup chute. The stunt went off without a hitch, thanks to meticulous planning and rigorous safety measures.

To enhance the action-packed film even further, Cruise even wore a 50-pound camera rig to capture breathtaking close-up footage during his electrifying falls.

Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of the Guinness World Records, was full of praise for Cruise, who he considered not just an action hero but a true living legend. "Tom Cruise is the epitome of daring and resilience," Glenday said, adding that he was eager to recognize Cruise's heroic spirit in these incredible record-setting stunts.

A Box Office Extravaganza

With each installment, Cruise continues to push the boundaries of what's possible, ready to put his life on the line for the greater good.

Whether it's riding a motorcycle through oncoming traffic in Paris, hanging off a flying plane, or ascending the Burj Khalifa, Cruise's commitment to performing his own stunts has made him a legend in the truest sense of the word.

The latest addition to the series, "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning," has already ignited the hearts of cinema-goers with its death-defying stunts, earning a staggering $200 million in profit during its opening weekend in North America.

As of now, the film has generated a jaw-dropping $360 million worldwide, earning a well-deserved spot among the highest-grossing "Mission: Impossible" films.
