Tom Cruise and Mission Impossible franchise

The star continues to play IMF Agent Ethan Hunt for almost the last three decades, and with each installment, he has pushed himself while taking on risky stunts. 

Among the most dangerous of stunts, 2015's ‘Rogue Nation’ got everyone worried the most as he held his breath underwater for several minutes. 

“We’re underwater and doing breath holds of six to six and a half minutes. It’s very taxing stuff,” he shared with USA Today back then. 



 

Tom Cruise's love for  adventure continues

Tom Cruise is also widely remembered for his stunt in ‘Mission Impossible 2’ as he climbed a rock ledge with just his hands.

“I was really mad that he wanted to do it, but I tried to stop him and I couldn’t. I was so scared I was sweating. I couldn’t even watch the monitor when we shot it, “director John Woo told Entertainment Weekly



 

"We had five cameras on the cliff, including a helicopter camera, a camera on a crane, and cameramen hanging from safety cables, but we had focus problems, so we had to do it again and again," he added. 

"But Tom would say, 'I'm okay, John, don't worry, I want to do it one more time,"' shared the director.
