Tom Cruise Honored With Prestigious Aeronautics Medal From Aero Club Of France


Tom Cruise can add a prestigious aeronautics medal to his long list of accomplishments.

The star of the forthcoming Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, who has a known penchant for piloting, jumping and hanging off of aircrafts, was honored with the Grande Medaille of the Aero-Club de France, presented to him by the organization’s president Catherine Maunoury Feb. 8. For Top Gun: Maverick, the movie star faced fighter jet g-forces, and for several Mission: Impossible installments, Cruise has conducted hundreds of skydives. Last year, the veteran actor jumped off of the Stade de France to close out the 2024 Paris Olympics, in a surprising feat that blurred the lines between his fictional characters and real life.
