Tom became the 1st actor to do a HALO jump on camera.

Tom climbed a rope at 2,000 feet before free-falling 40 feet onto the payload below.

People train for years and years to pull off stunts like this. Tom just does it.

Falling at 200mph Tom had to position himself precisely 3ft away from camera in mid-air.

You can do incredible things when you’re passionate about your work!

Fear is just something you have to forget about before you take a leap.

[missionimpossiblemovie]

Creating death defying stunts is Tom’s day job.

[missionimpossiblemovie]

When being an action star isn’t enough, Tom is always ready to do more. As a rock climbing enthusiast, he relished the opportunity to show off his skills.

Luckily this stunt was executed perfectly and no one was injured.

They had to get it right on the first shot because they only had one take.

Shooting the underwater sequence, Tom had to hold his breath for up to 6 minutes.
