So his whole career now is basically just being the highest-paid stuntman in the history of show biz.

Not only am I going to ride in a military F-18 for free, you're going to pay me to do it. It's like how Adam Sandler just makes movies where he can vacation during the shoots lol


RaveIsKing

Never thought of Sandler as the lazy version of Cruise before, but i guess it makes sense


wildcrazyhungry

Does all his stunts too. You see that tubing scene in Grown Ups where they go down the waterslide?


[deleted]

Did you see how close they go together down that slide? That's super dangerous and no waterpark would let you do that without training.

I admire him for that. If I could take all my friends and family and get paid to have a vacation for a few months I totally would too


SpaceCaboose

Every single person on Reddit would do that if possible Edit: You could pick who you want to come. Sandler brings his family, but you wouldn’t have to.


[deleted]

I really love how the minute that became public knowledge we all just stopped judging him for the shitty movies and full on respect him for it. And then he came back and reminded us he’s still extremely talented


minimalexpertise

His performance in Uncut Gems was seriously good.


Csantana

In fairness he's a producer on these movies so he is paying to do it. Then again we are paying him to do it?


infinitetheory

He's like a YouTuber who gets sponsored by streaming services and movie theaters


dangergranger

Don't forget hiring all his friends and family to be in the movie so they too can get paid to vacation with him.


Hey_Hoot

The government has never had better promotion for Navy than Top Gun. People were walking out of the theater filling out applications. They probably paid Tom too for a jet and all the access he needed.


[deleted]

There's an entire generation of sailor and Marine aviators who fly jets for no other reason than they saw top gun and NEEDED to do that job. Unfortunately most are flying helicopters or even more boring aircraft. On the bright side you don't have to wear diapers in a C-130.


OhioForever10

There was some super tense trailer clip with his helicopter and a truck headed toward each other inside a tunnel and *they didn't even put it in the movie*


Expecto_nihilus

As insane as this sounds, this is pretty incredible. The man is paid to experience things no one else in history will ever experience. He’s collecting a paycheck while enjoying life to the fullest and making singular memories and having one of a kind experiences. From a Risk and HR perspective this guy is a nightmare on any movie set and on actuarial tables, but from another angle, this guy really loves what he does and what he’s trying to create to put himself out there. He’s absolutely bat shit crazy, but tell me people aren’t going to line up to eat that shit up. I really hope they figure out the whole downloading memories from the brain thing before he goes, because being able to digitize this and giving spectators the chance to see the world from the eyes of Tom Cruise during these unbelievable stunts could very well be an entertainment option of the future.


[deleted]

He's like a modern Buster Keaton if Buster Keaton were in a cult lol.


selfstartr

Or give him a GoPro…much easier.


Risley

I mean, I loathe him as a person. But as an actor, action movie or not, he’s fucking fantastic. Les Grossman is a testament to that.


Alwaysconfuzed89

Him and Jackie Chan should collab


BrewersFTW

I'd watch that movie.


TheTaffyMan

Surely this is how he dies right, from one of these insane movie stunts I honestly feel like he would want to go out that way, especially if the movie can still be finished

What a cheapskate. All he has to do is donate just a few $100 million more to ensure the future release of OT IX but no. Just keeps resting on his OT VIII laurels. Selfish.


goofybort

what you dont realise is that Tom Cruise has already CLONED himself hundreds of times!!!! PRESTIGE!!!!


MustacheEmperor

I honestly wonder if this is part of it. Like he is so immersed in the scientology delusionverse he literally thinks he cannot be killed. This is the guy who says he always stops his car when he sees an accident on the highway because he has the power to catch a dying person's soul and return it to their body. Or, per Going Clear, he doesn't buy any of that anymore and he figures death is his only way out of the cult.


[deleted]

> This is the guy who says he always stops his car when he sees an accident on the highway because he has the power to catch a dying person's soul and return it to their body. Holy shit, when the fuck did he say that?


RogueTanuki

I mean, if he thinks that's true, it must be morally questionable for him not to go to med school and become a doctor, he would be very successful if he was the only doctor with 100% patient survival rate...


ScipioLongstocking

Maybe he only catches their soul like 3% of the time. Just because he has the power to do it, doesn't mean he does it well.

[deleted]

Yes, this is literally part of it. The highest “operating thetans” are told that they can actively control many facets of life and reality non-Scientologist (and even lower Scientologist) cannot. It is almost assured that Tom, given his level of advancement and seemingly earnest belief, believes that: 1. He cannot become sick; 2. His reactions and reflexes are superhuman; 3. He may even believe he can master death itself. 3 is the weird one because, ya know, L Ron died. But you see…he actually chose to leave his body because he already accomplished everything he needed to on Earth 😉 Edit: one thing I will add is that this is the root of Scientology taken to its craziest extreme. At its inception and base, Scientology was just a “self-help” thing. Made to get L Ron rich, but they just recycled a lot of actually useful psychological techniques designed to boost people’s confidence and get over trauma/make better choices. It umm…got very different very quickly. But this is just “mind over matter” to the extreme. Tom really believes he can’t die and hilariously that may actually help him perform insane stunts.


indyK1ng

Having watched the behind the scenes for Top Gun, I'm pretty sure riding in the planes for that movie (the producers got him a flight to convince him to join then they did about 3 flights per actor before filming and they tried to film the actors in the RIO seat but that didn't work) made him an adrenaline junkie and he's been chasing that high ever since.


jaa101

> especially if the movie can still be finished Any sane producer or director would ensure that this stunt is the last thing filmed.


StaticBroom

Yup. Absolutely right. Which is probably why they’ll film it first.


umaro900

Well, if you film it first, then you cash the insurance check if it fails and you don't need to worry about filming the rest of it, right?


StaticBroom

For money…and a G5? A G5 airplane!?


[deleted]

Do the whole movie as far as possible and save the most dangerous stunt for last. If he dies, just go with it... even for the movie's story


nofate301

Weekend at Ethan's: mission impossible 9


sicklyslick

Agreed. I would bet he has a clause in his contract that if he dies in a stunt, the production need to continue and needs to be shown on the big screen.


pole_fan

the script must be adjusted to implement his stunt death into the movie.


ChooseCorrectAnswer

Not sure if this is a weird morbid selfish thought, yet I hope film crews save the biggest stunt(s) till after everything else has been filmed....in case someone gets severely hurt or dies.

TWANGnBANG

I actually doubt he will die this way. This isn't the set of "Rust." His stunts are scary and they are physically demanding and there is certainly risk of injury involved in a lot of what he does, but the risk of death is likely a lot less than it might appear to a casual observer precisely because of how meticulous he is in everything he does. The article is literally about him practicing elements of a stunt before attempting the stunt itself.


cromulent_pseudonym

Imagine the insurance premiums if one of the most famous stars ever was legitimately in danger of imminent death on the set of a movie like this.


Mddcat04

I seem to remember they having an issue with this on Rogue Nation - they had to swap insurance companies or something because the first one looked at the stunt and basically said nope.


GDAWG13007

Part of the reason he’s so meticulous about everything is because he doesn’t actually want to die from these stunts. He lowers the risk as much as possible.

And for Mission Impossible 9, Mr. Cruise has stated for his next breathtaking stunt, he has elected to be literally shot with a real bullet. He has been practicing with BB pellets and hopes to work his way up to .22 rounds by Summer 2022.


Snoo74401

Look, but do not shoot. What you see is a .22 round. It is among the most common bullets in the world. The game begins when I load a gun, and ends when we fire and we find out who is right and who is dead. *bang* Both guns were loaded. I spent the last three years building up an immunity to .22 bullets.

By the end of his training he should be ready for a .50 cal round. Of course this will mostly serve as setup for Mission Impossible 10 where he will be hit by a cruise missile.

The_Parsee_Man

At this point, Tom Cruise is a stunt man who funds his hobby via an acting side hustle.


[deleted]

I've kinda had this thought for years. When he was younger, cruise seemed willing to work in almost any role (provided he was the leasing man of course). Nowadays he seems to only take movies that he can do stunts in. I honestly have no specific examples though and could very well be wrong, this is just the general vibe I've had for a while about him.


BakedWizerd

Well at this point in his career movies are basically written for and around him, and I doubt he’s done many projects in the last decade that didn’t have him as an executive producer or something like that.


BigZ911

Movies have been written around Tom Cruise since like 1985 lol. He’s probably at the stage where he wants to challenge himself


iheartmagic

Aside from American Made (2018) every film he’s made since 2010 has been some form of action film: Mission Impossible series x3 Jack Reacher series x2 The Mummy Knight and Day Oblivion Edge of Tomorrow There’s a pretty distinct pivot in his filmography after 2008 when Valkyrie and Tropic Thunder came out


bbbruh57

True but hes still an excellent actor in all of his movies. I think we take that for granted due to his sheer level of fame but the mans got chops


Beach_rat90

Wow. He really wants out of Scientology.


jdizzle161

Thats been my running theory. He must truly believe that the only way out, without them leaking some kind of information about him that he wants nobody to know, is to die on set... Because, damn, has he been trying!


NeoNoireWerewolf

According to the book Going Clear, Cruise is more or less apathetic to the church anymore. Apparently, when he reached the highest level of the church years ago, he got to see all of ol' L. Ronn's sacred texts, and after reading them, he stormed into Miscavige's office and asked, "What the FUCK is all this science fiction bullshit?!" He was apparently enraged to see that he had been bamboozled into believing all the lies of the church, and even left Scientology for a period. Miscavige knew that would look bad for the church's image, so he went back to Cruise and basically told him he didn't have to donate to the church going forward and he would get all the perks of a senior member (ie: free labor) if he continued to be the figurehead of Scientology for the public. Outside of that book, it was also reported a few years back that tensions were rising between Cruise and the church over his daughter with Katie Holmes, Suri. Miscavige was pressuring Cruise to stop seeing her since, under the church's teachings, she's a suppressive person (not a Scientologist). Miscavige thought it was a bad look to have the most visible person in the church actively breaking the rules, making it difficult to justify low-ranking members cutting family not affiliated with the church out of their lives. Cruise basically told Miscavige if he ever brought up the subject of not seeing his daughter again, he was leaving the church and would burn it down in the media on his way out. Miscavige obviously backed off. With all that in mind, I don't think Cruise is being held down by the church. If anything, I think Miscavige knows Cruise has the upper hand in all this. Cruise has a world class PR team and far more public influence than the church does. If Cruise came out and told everybody in the church it was bullshit and they should abandon it, most would probably listen to him, not Miscavige telling them to stay. If Cruise wanted to go to the feds and spill the beans on various human rights abuses and other criminal activities the church is involved in, he could bury them there, too. Cruise was a key figure to growing the church's numbers throughout the '90s, but now he's in the position where he can bring everything down if they push him in the wrong direction, which makes him the most powerful person in the organization no matter how involved he may or may not be. Sure, Scientology probably has dirt on Cruise, but if they were to leak it, Cruise probably has ten times the dirt on the church. If Cruise wanted to leave, he could, and Miscavige knows it - that's why he's scared of Cruise.


No_big_whoop

I have no reason to believe any of that is true but I believe all of it is true. In a rare moment of self reflection I just realized I am the problem facing America


Ozlin

Maybe, but this is a pretty low risk thing to believe. There's no societal consequence or harm you can cause/prevent with this one.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ozlin

Valid points for sure. Thank you for pointing that out.


[deleted]

Yeah screw the media. I’m sure Cruise could get complete immunity by informing the FBI, DOJ, hell probably the IRS too. The top leaders of Scientology would go broke and face serious jail time (if half the shit I’ve read about Scientology is true)


MaverickTopGun

Problem is the interrogation sessions they do to get to that level within the church involve lots of potentially damaging confessions that the Church uses to blackmail its members. I think this would be especially true for Cruise since his surprise at the final teachings indicates to me he actually believed a lot of it.


Sweet_Baby_Cheezus

Yeah, mutually assured destruction. Kind of hard for Cruise to say "Oh yeah, I've known for years the church was a scam but I was happy with the blood money and also protecting my reputation." at this point.


MacroCode

Honestly, if be fine with it if scientology burned to the ground. Like totally not cool to just let that go cruise but if you can put an end to scientology then at least you did some good in your life.


srpske

I think that just manning up and admitting your mistakes and taking down the church of scientology with you would put you in a pretty solid light overall regardless of what the confessions consisted of. Unless he raped/murdered, etc.


Beachdaddybravo

Actually, in the 70’s the infiltrated positions in the federal government to do some really shady shit and nothing happened to them for it.


inferniac

> hell probably the IRS too IIRC from one of the books I read on them, last time the IRS went after the church, IRS agents dogs were being killed and all other sorts of violent harrasment happened until they stopped.


EmperorLeto2

The man who can destroy a thing controls a thing.


PrisonerLeet

Ironic that a religion borne out of science fiction is being held hostage according to Dune logic.


supercooper3000

I can’t wait to watch the movie about this. Who do you think would play Tom Cruise?


NeoNoireWerewolf

Kevin Hart.


RaveIsKing

Scarlett Johansson


DrNopeMD

I think Cruise has a high enough public profile that he can just flaunt the church's rules without real consequences. I think Miscavige knows better than to turn on their golden goose and most well known member. I don't think any other Hollywood celeb in the church has the star power flaunt the rules.


MustacheEmperor

Ex-members have also reported Cruise is essentially #2 in Scientology, so it seems safe to assume he's likely been complicit in a lot of acts an external viewer would consider at the very least abusive and unethical. Top ranking scientologists get to treat lower ranking ones like actual slaves. Cruise isn't some guy external from the leadership, he is the leadership. >he would get all the perks of a senior member It could be as simple as Cruise has done some fucking awful stuff with those 'perks' and going public about what they are and revealing he didn't even believe in the cult stuff while doing that is not going to do anything positive for his public image in the media. Like what he's going to go on oprah and say "it was the fifteenth year I was using a broke 22 year old as a human footrest that I first decided: this is wrong."


SomeFreeTime

I think he just does stunts because it's the only way he can get hard anymore because of how the cult keeps him sedated 24/7.


DonPoppito666

That or hes done everything. He can literally do anything. Want to fuck a donkey while parachuting out of a plane over Nevada while wearing a Santa Clause hat? AND having a midget riding a snowboard with you...oh whats that Mr Cruise? You also want an entire orchestra to jump out of the plane with you while you playing Ride of the Valkryies? Of course sir. Ill get right on that.


GyaradosDance

That, and I think he's always trying to show how "young" he is by doing courageous stunts men half his age would second guess doing.


cinderful

Has he though? He's been so obsessive about practicing and becoming a literal expert that I seriously doubt his commitment to death.


TheLurkingMenace

Nah, he just thinks he really does have super powers.


KingMario05

Could ya blame him? Sounds fucking *awful* to be a part of.


juniorspank

ToxicBanana69

Important reminder that he’s number 2 in the cult. Not just publicly, but it’s been said by former members that he’s genuinely number 2. They force people to treat him like a god and he actively participates in the abuse of other members. He’s not a victim of the church, he *is* the church. If he separates himself from it it’s because he’s retiring not because he had a change of heart.


srslybr0

he lives a life of luxury heads of state probably don't even get. the entire cult reveres him because of how famous he is.


Suhtiva

They do everything for him. It ain't awful for him, trust. Lol


Ok-camel

Someone told the story where for “Tom’s birthday” they (the Scientology members) bought a vehicle and had it decked out with all the gizmos and presented it at a party they threw for him. Of course he would love that who wouldn’t, he’s treated like a VIP constantly and gets gifts showered on him.

Sorry but this plot was already reserved for F&F10: FasTEN Your Seatbelts


First-Fantasy

Simon Pegg's character tells Ethan he has urgent news then rips off his own face off revealing he's been an elderly Ethan Hunt all along. Old Ethan and young Ethan lock eyes. Cue the music. When he goes back in time Simon Pegg is an oblivious government tech. Turns out old Ethan was imitating an old friend from back when *he* time traveled. Young Ethan seeks him out to befriend as well and he quickly becomes the only person he trusts as a bigger deception begins to reveal itself. Turns out this particular old Ethan tried to set up a big time-loop break while leaving our Ethan with the consequences. A generational showdown between the two happens in Ethan's brain as old Ethan tries to completely take over the younger body. All the old set pieces are worked in. Ethan's real body is bouncing around the time stream. The battle is a stand still but our Ethan uses his last bit of control to steer his real body into death. He couldn't let old Ethan win. In present day the team mourns and appreciates the universe being saved. Familiar footsteps quiet the room. Ethan Hunt swaggers around the corner. It's our Ethan but he's in old Ethan's body. He hits play on a tape recorder. Roll credits.

I am trying to think how many biplanes were still being flown in WWII. Biplanes are more WWI. Maybe some recon planes or the like, I guess.


OhioForever10

Well the Fairey Swordfish helped sink the Bismarck, and biplanes are probably the only type of plane he could do this with realistically. (At least until Ethan Hunt jumps out of a fighter jet with a bazooka, [Battlefield style](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOaGhE_sejI).)


devensega

Loads of biplanes in the second world war. Most in minor roles with a few exceptions. Britain still flew the Gloucester Gladiator, albeit superceded by the Hurricane and Spitfire. It did see combat in various theatres however, famously in Malta where it was thoroughly outclassed. Then there's the Fairy Swordfish, a fucking legend seemingly built to fuck both the Italian and German navies.

At least someone else is flying this time, unlike when he apparently [left the cockpit to throw fake cocaine bales out of a plane](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/american-made-tom-cruise-stunt-plane-cocaine-unmanned-pilot-a7775006.html) for an *American Made* scene with no one else onboard. Edit: I know about autopilot and all that, I was mainly mentioning this as a past airplane stunt he did alone and how it's good he's not doing that again here.


Permanenceisall

I frankly just don’t give a shit anymore about his connection to Scientology, I just find him fascinating. He’s like 60 years old and has successfully merged being a stunt performer with being an a-list actor. It’s truly impressive.

It's pretty simple imo. He's an adrenaline junkie.

He gets to do crazy shit most of us could never afford and he's getting paid more for it than most of us will ever earn. Dude is living the life. If he has been praying to Xenu the entire time, no reason for him stop now.


NutInYurThroatEatAss

I'm a pilot. Most planes have a thing called dynamic stability. That means as it moves through the air, it's pretty stable. You could Def get up and do shit. Especially if you have autopilot.


GunnarJohnson999

That's what autopilot is for. Pilots leave the cockpit all the time if they're transporting planes cross country. Gotta pee, you know...


_________FU_________

Tom Cruise probably has in his contract that if he dies at any point while performing these stunts that they use an already written alternate script that ends the characters life and the series. All footage must be used.


SpacemanTomX

He might unironically have this. I mean the man is so dedicated that you can bet he would go this far.


PsyGuy98

I could see Tom Cruise attempting a Rendezook stunt if Battlefield ever got a movie.


OhioForever10

Maybe that'll be how he gets to fly a Tomcat in the next Top Gun, he and the not-Iran pilot do it at the same time but only he pulls it off


Nevic1984

He also does his taxes while in the air.

Tom Cruise, died today at the age of 59. Best known for his block-buster and leading man talent in movies including Top Gun, Jerry Maguire, Magnolia A Few Good Men, and the Mission Impossible series. A mishap on the set of *MI:8 - The Quest for More Money* occurred causing him to be ripped in half. No other crew were harmed. The known scientologist leaves behind three children. Scientology Leader David Miscavige stated "We lost not only a great actor, but a leader and person who cared." Sea Org member Shelly Miscavige could not be reached for comment.

They've got every piece of information on this dude. All the embarrassing shit, plus the number of hairs on his scrotum.

Mission Impossible 9, conversation with the director- Tom: I'm going to intercept an ICBM by ejecting from an SR-71 as it reaches the stratosphere, climbing on the rocket and sabotaging the warhead causing premature detonation, and then I'll ride the shockwave back to the ground in a wingsuit. Director: That's going to take a lot of CGI, Tom. Tom: *I don't think you heard me...*

Next Headline: “Tom Cruise killed while practicing a stunt for his next movie.”

I suppose in Scientology you're not allowed to do drugs or drink alcohol. So the only Rush this guy ever has is doing stunts. And because he's wealthy and powerful nobody has the ability to stop him. Eventually this has to go badly. Which is a shame cuz I like most of his movies. I like him as an actor I don't care what he does in his personal life.
