: Last tango in Paris for Tom Cruise
While he just blew out his 58th birthday last July, the American actor did not hesitate to get on a motorcycle for an incredible stunt on a springboard in the form of a launching ramp, in the middle of the peaks of a Mountain chain.
On the Instagram account of director Christopher McQuarrie, we can see the mention "# MI7 Day 1" (literally,
Mission: Impossible 7
, first day of filming).
The seventh installment of Ethan Hunt's adventures was scheduled to begin in February 2020, but that was without counting the global Covid-19 pandemic, which forced production to cease.
With this breathtaking stunt, the film crew makes it clear with a bang that the shooting has resumed on the hats of wheels.
A number of journalists have also been able to capture this astonishing waterfall where the actor is propelled from the top of a giant scaffolding in the form of a diving board overlooking the void.
Like a real hothead, Tom Cruise rides his motorized vehicle in the air for a few moments, then lets go of the handlebars to drop into the void.
It is at this moment that he releases his blue parachute which opens very fortunately like a flower.
All that remains for the American actor to do is to land gently in the forest below.
Captured by the local Norwegian press (and relayed since by social networks around the world), the stunt seems hardly believable.
How the devil of a man could he succeed in convincing the insurance companies to let him risk his life from the top of this metal springboard?
As a good stuntman, Tom Cruise is irresistibly reminiscent of stuntman Rick Sylvester.

And that's why looking at Tom Cruise's feat, it's like going back to the good old days of
The Spy Who Loved Me
(directed by Lewis Gilbert, in 1977
).
