There’s A Wild Rumor About Tom Cruise And A Stunt Double Filming M:I 8 Running Around, But If It’s True I Totally Respect It

It’s a well-known fact Tom Cruise does his own stunts. This is included but not limited to things like driving a motorcycle off the edge of a cliff, hanging off the side of an airplane and, oh yeah, an Olympics stunt that took a year to put together. Which is why I was surprised to hear claims Tom Cruise’s stunt double on the set of the latest Mission: Impossible movieThe Final Reckoning filled in during one scene so Ethan Hunt could turn pages while ensuring the a-lister avoided a papercut.

Speaking on Capital FM’s “Capital Breakfast” program, co-host Siân Welby opened up about the rumors surrounding The Final Reckoning filming and how one scene simply had Ethan Hunt turning pages in a book. Instead of shooting the scene himself, the actor reportedly had his stunt double do it for him.

He does all his own stunts right? But in this movie, he’s hired a stunt double. This is because it’s probably one of the most deadly things he’s had to do. What’s the one thing Tom Cruise will not risk getting? A paper cut. He’s hired a stunt double to turn a page for him in this new movie. That’s the one thing he will not do.
