Tom Cruise was injured during a building-jumping stunt on the set of "Mission Impossible 6."
The 55-year-old actor was in London Sunday when he attempted to leap from a rigging onto a building but he fell short of the mark and hit the building pretty hard.
You see Cruise try to limp away and then collapse. He then limps back to the edge of the building and and is pulled away by crew members on the safety team.
We don't know the extent of his injuries.
Best wishes for his recovery. None of us is as young as we once were.
Well, I guess this is one movie that lives up to its title.
Please get better, Tom.
Then go away.
Yeah, basically. He could have a nice, private life on his royalties.
How does he keep getting a job?
Rumors he was leaving Scientology.
Sounds like a nerve or bone injury.
Hope it isn’t a career ender.
Mind making promises, your body can’t keep.
“Old Folks Boogy”. h/t: Little Feat.
Permission to buzz the tower ...
... denied.
nobody leaves scientology... alive.
Cruise: Still trying to prove he’s not gay.
Is he still in the closet?
I like the fact he does as much of his own stunts as possible. Very few get the chance to do these things, so why not climb the Burj Khalifa if you have the chance?

The music’s great, except for the vocals.
Off our rockers, actin’ crazy
With the right medication we won’t be lazy
Doin’ the old folks boogie
Down on the farm
Wheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm
Paired off pacemakers with matchin’ alarms
Gives us jus’ one more chance
To spin one more yarn
And you know that you’re over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill
Doin’ the old folks boogie
And boogie we will
‘Cause to us the thought’s as good as a thrill
Back at the home,
No time is your own,
Facillities there, they’re all out on loan
The bank forclose, and your bankruptcy shows
And your credit creeps to an all-time low
So you know, that you’re over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill
Try and get a rise from an atrophied muscle,
And the nerves in your thigh just quivers and fizzles
So you know, that you’re over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill
from the way he is limping afterwards, looks like a mild right ankle sprain(?)
I may be one of the few Cruise fans left. Is he nuts with his religion...yes. Does he star in an inordinate number of bombs.....yes. But he always tries his best and has put in some great performances (Collateral is an underrated movie, check it out).
Did they keep the cameras rolling?
