Ever Wondered How Tom Cruise Preps For A Massive Stunt? (I Honestly Would Not Have Guessed ‘Almost A Dozen Eggs’)

BBG News

As a dedicated movie enthusiast, I’ve always admired Tom Cruise for his unwavering commitment to performing his own stunts. The anticipation of witnessing his next death-defying feat is what often lures me into the cinema when a new Mission: Impossible film hits the screens. But have you ever wondered how he prepares for something as daring as clinging onto a biplane’s wing? Well, it all starts with a solid breakfast, just like any other day.

I’ve always been captivated by Tom Cruise’s unwavering dedication to his craft. He doesn’t just act; he masterfully executes everything you see on screen. From soaring through the skies in helicopters and planes, to gracefully dancing, and even performing death-defying stunts – all of which require an extraordinary level of physical fitness.

Rumor has it that his diet could give The Rock a run for his money. According to an interview with People, before his daring plane stunt in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Cruise fueled himself with a massive breakfast to sustain him throughout the day. He certainly has a way of turning up the intensity!

As someone who takes on the challenge of wing-walking, I make sure to fuel myself with a hearty breakfast that’s packed with energy. The chilly heights where I perform demand it – my body needs all the sustenance it can get to keep up with the intense training. So, I dig into a generous serving of sausages, nearly a dozen eggs, bacon strips, toast, coffee, and fluids. It’s not just about eating; it’s about powering through the cold air at high altitudes.

It’s not immediately obvious that one would consider the need for extra calories before attempting a stunt like wing walking, but it certainly becomes clear upon reflection. A maneuver like that demands a large amount of energy just to execute, and it often necessitates numerous attempts. Filming such an exhausting sequence might have taken up the entire day for Cruise. If he’s not well-fueled, he simply won’t be able to pull it off.

It’s unlikely we’d expect Tom Cruise, who doesn’t resemble Dwayne Johnson physique-wise, to have such an eating habit. However, the 62-year-old actor’s appearance has never seemed to reflect his age, and that might be due to reasons we don’t know. Maintaining physical fitness is crucial when you’re planning to hang off planes or scale buildings. It seems Cruise may adopt this diet before many of his action sequences.

In addition to the thrilling wing walking scene shown in the trailers of The Final Reckoning, there are even more jaw-dropping stunt sequences to come. For instance, a large water tank was constructed that could be tilted and rotated, into which Tom Cruise plunged for a significant underwater sequence. It’s safe to say he probably enjoyed a hearty breakfast beforehand as well.

Although it remains undecided whether “The Final Reckoning” will indeed be Tom Cruise’s last Mission: Impossible movie, the film seems determined to end with a bang. Regardless, this could provide Cruise some time to unwind and enjoy his mornings peacefully for a while.
