The 4x Oscar nominee has set the record for ost burning parachute jump.
The actor jumped out of a helicopter 16 times with a fuel soaked parachute set ablaze in a stunt for the final installment in the action series.
Craig Glenday, Guinness World Records editor-in-chief in a statement.
“Tom doesn’t just play action heroes – he is an action hero!”
A large part of his success can be chalked up to his absolute focus on authenticity and pushing the boundaries of what a leading man can do. It’s an honour to be able to recognize his utter fearlessness with this new Guinness World Records title.”
Tom Cruise and the stunt team spent weeks preparing for the intense sequence in South Africa’s Drakensberg mountains, where he jumped from a helicopter at over 75,000 feet with a flaming parachute, later switching to a backup chute.
For several of the takes, Cruise had a 50 lb. snorri camera rig attached to his body for a closer shot of the fiery stunt.
With his death defying tints and record breaking feats, Tom Cruise has once proven why he’s the Hollywood king of action in Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning
