Tom Cruise has set a new Guinness World Record for his Mission: Impossible stunts. Cruise, who is prolific in doing his stunts, has set a record for the most burning parachute jumps by an individual. The actor did the jump for the recently released Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning a whopping 16 times to earn this new accomplishment.
The Fiery scene that broke records
The scene in question involved Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt fighting Gabriel, played by Esai Morales, on two 1940s biplanes. Finally, Ethan jumps off the plane as it catches fire, and he realises that his parachute is on fire as well. The scene was one of the highlights of The Final Reckoning.
According to the Guinness World Records website, Cruise “leapt out of a helicopter 16 times while strapped to a parachute pre-soaked in fuel and lit ablaze, before cutting away the charred remnants of the first chute and safely deploying a backup. No other actor or stuntman has come close to that amount of death-defying drops.”
Cruise’s second Guinness record
This is Tom Cruise's second Guinness World Record. The Hollywood superstar holds the record of being the actor with the most consecutive $100-million-grossing movies for his 11 films between 2012 and 2015.
