In an industry where actors want stunt doubles to perform their stunts, we have Tom Cruise. The actor is widely known for performing all his own death-defying stunts. He has performed his most insane stunts for theMission: Impossiblefranchise. The actor was never asked to perform those stunts but it seems like he loves the thrill.
Many viewers find it hard to believe that Tom Cruise was actually hanging outside of an Airbus A400M airplane inMission: Impossible – Rogue Nation(2015) but it is true. The actor performed the entire sequence himself without any stunt doubles.

The crew was worried about the actor’s safety
Everyone was concerned about Tom Cruise’s safety as the stunt was indeed very risky. The actor wanted to know what it feels like to be on the wing or on the side of the airplane. There were several concerns, including bird strikes and wind resistance on the runway.
A special wind-resistant custom frame was built for the camera and was mounted onto the left wing of the Airbus A400M. Cruise also had trouble keeping his eyes open due to wind and runway particles, so he got a special lens that covered his entire eyeball.
