- Los Angeles, May 2 (IANS) Hollywood action legend Tom
Cruise shared his secret to preparing for thrilling aerial stunts – a “massive
breakfast.”
-
- The action legend hanged off a military plane in the
opening scene of 'Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation', and has done numerous
nail-biting aerial sequences in the film series where he plays Mission Force
agent Ethan Hunt.
-
- In an interview with People magazine's 'Mission:
Impossible' issue, he said: "I actually eat a massive breakfast. The
amount of energy it takes - I train so hard for that wing-walking.”

- The star added: "I’ll eat, like, sausage and almost
a dozen eggs and bacon and toast and coffee and fluids. Oh, I’m eating!
Picture: It’s cold up there. We’re at high altitude. My body is burning a lot.”
-
- Cruise tags the opening stunt to the 2015 flick as one of
the least-safe stunts. In the eighth instalment of the critically acclaimed
series, 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' - which is released in May,
the 'Top Gun' icon experienced what it was like to spin inside a washing
machine as the crew built a tank to shoot a submarine interior that tilted and
spun 360 degrees.
-
- The actor breathed in his own carbon dioxide but he did
not need to worry as the pilot had trained for carbon dioxide build-up for when
he earned his wings in 1994, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
-
- The Oscar-nominated actor explained: “You’re not going to
feel as connected with the character if I went with a regular mask and a thing
in my mouth to breathe.
-
- “Luckily when you’re flying jets you train for hypoxia
and for carbon dioxide build-up. You start to be able to perceive your body and
how it’s reacting so that I knew when to stop.”
