The “Height of Cool”
Videos of his exploits subsequently circulated on social media.
Among them, that of Charlotte Burton-Delph, a hiker who was then strolling around Lake Buttermere, overlooked by the High Crag, with her family.
The walker thus saw, above their heads, a very serene Tom Cruise, in the middle of a paragliding session.
"I've been around Lake Buttermere quite a few times, but meeting Tom Cruise on a paraglider for the filming of

The video of this unexpected meeting has since been viewed more than a million times.
