Tom Cruise Was So Exhausted by ‘Mission: Impossible’ Stunt He Had to Be Carried Off Plane

Tom Cruise is known for doing his own stunts, but one scene in the upcoming Mission: Impossible film pushed him to his limit.
Cruise was so worn out after performing a dangerous stunt that his team had to carry him off the plane. The stunt involved walking on the wing of a small biplane while flying through the air.
Wade Eastwood, the film’s stunt coordinator and second unit director, told The Times of London how tough it was. “It beat the hell out of him. The wind hitting him, and the blast of the propeller, particles hitting him. It was the hardest workout you could ever do, it was very dangerous and very exhausting for him. Many times we were carrying him off the wing because he was so tired. And he was flying all day.”
