The 62-year-old actor is famous for doing his own very adventurous stunts which have become a hallmark of the franchise.

And the latest instalment is no different, withone particular shock moment showing the Hollywood star thousdands of feet up in the air as he dangles out of a helicopter before falling backwards to the ground. Previous Mission: Impossible movies have seen the star climb the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and cling to the roof of a moving train but director Christopher McQuarrie explained that a scene in the latest flick made him 'want to puke' from 'the stress'. Cruise previously admitted that he joined the franchise for Brian De Palma's first entry in 1996 because he hoped to transform the action genre after a string of critically acclaimed performance that raised his profile in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
