Tom Cruise performed a heartbreaking stunt in Hellesylt on Sunday.
He got on the motorcycle, and accelerated from the top of Helsetkopen (1246 masl) and jumped on a giant ramp before pulling on the rope on the parachute.
Cruise has been in the west country for the last few days in connection with the filming of the new “Mission: Impossible” film.
The Hollywood star arrived at the foot of Helsetkopen in what is supposed to be his own helicopter, according to NTB.
Has its own helicopter
It is a matte black Airbus single-engine helicopter – which he also flew in London earlier this summer. Tom Cruise sits behind the levers himself.
He took a helicopter certificate before the filming of the previous “M: I” movie in 2018.
It was documented in one behind the scenes video. The film shows, among other things, the star who practices the helicopter hunt with the other pilots – using toy helicopters.
Jumps in a parachute
This weekend’s recording in Norway also featured skydiving scenes, which Tom Cruise himself was responsible for. Then he jumped out of an orange, Norwegian-owned helicopter.
Also during filming in London earlier this summer, Cruise made several parachute jumps from a helicopter.
Director and screenwriter for “Mission: Impossible” film number seven in the series, Christopher McQuarrie, has revealed in interviews that there will be “at least three obscene stunts” that will make the spectacular helicopter hunt from the 2018 film “look like a toy” , according to Collier.
Promises great results
– It will be fantastic on film, says Tom Cruise Åndalsnes Avis, where he also praises Norway as a «fantastic place».
At the same time, Tom Cruise thinks about safety:
He diligently wears a black face mask to match the outfit of his character Ethan Hunt.
