Cruise Soars With Scorching Style: Setting a Blaze on Screens with Burning Parachute Spree
Tom Cruise breaks record using flaming parachute
Tom Cruise, in his signature wild spirit, has claimed a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records yet again. The grizzled veteran of the silver screen, now 62, successfully executed a risky stunt involving multiple high-altitude jumps with a scorching parachute for the film "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning".
In an awe-inspiring display of determination, Tom accomplished a whopping 16 jumps, igniting and subsequently cutting away his fiery parachute, all before deploying his safety chute each time. Guinness World Records proclaimed Tom as the holder of the title for the single-individual with the most burning parachute jumps.
Cruise shared a behind-the-scenes video from the epic stunt on social media, discussing the daring feat and assuring his team of minimal risk. The clip features rapid-fire shots of each of the 16 nail-biting jumps with the burning parachute ablaze.
"Tom isn't just living the action hero life; he is an action hero!" praise-lessly pronounced Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records. Tom's unyielding courage earned him the admiration of Glenday, who commended the title as a fitting recognition of the actor's fearlessness.
Box Office Dominance
Since 1996, Tom Cruise has been synonymous with the globe-trotting Ethan Hunt in the "Mission: Impossible" franchise. This time around, he brought to life some of the most thrilling stunts, like riding his motorcycle against traffic in Paris, hanging from a speeding plane, and scaling the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai.
The latest film in the series directed by Christopher McQuarrie, a sequel to "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning" (2023), debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Fans have hailed the film as the conclusion to the nearly 30-year-long spy saga.
The film opened in North American theaters over the long Memorial Day weekend, raking in a record-setting $200 million in its opening weekend. As of now, the film has generated a staggering $360 million worldwide.
