Tarzan is absolutely incredible! Hearing him talk about doing his own stunts and the intense dedication he brought to filming Mission: Impossible and Top Gun just shows how committed and passionate he is about his craft. It’s not just impressive—it’s inspiring. The effort, training, and mindset it takes to be part of such high-octane films is no joke, and he handled it all like a true pro. Massive respect to him for pushing himself and delivering such powerful performances. Can’t wait to see what he does next!
Tom does have stunt doubles. He also has a stunt team.
any proof
@wc999proof? You don’t really think he does everything do you? Who do you think make his stunts safe? Who do you think plan all the logistics? He has an entire crew helping him.
Tom Cruise does use stunt doubles and a stunt team for some of his action scenes, especially for safety or highly technical sequences. For example, in the Mission: Impossible series, while he performs many stunts himself—like the Burj Khalifa climb in Ghost Protocol—industry reports and behind-the-scenes footage confirm stunt coordinators and doubles are involved for complex or dangerous shots. Check out the Mission: Impossible making-of featurettes on YouTube, where they credit the stunt team.
@wc999do research. Actual research. Tom had a huge stunt team. Do you think it’s him planning it all and making it safe? He has a whole crew making it as safe as possible. Stunt doubles are involved in the dangerous and complicated shots. Yes it is Tom most of the time. But not every single shot.
@axelstone3131 you said it so cite your source/s
@waquasalam1450Tom’s stunt double for his climbing in Mission Impossible 2 at the start, is a guy called Ron Cauk. He’s a professional rock climber. In 1992, Kauk trained and doubled Sylvester Stallone along with late climber Wolfgang Güllich for Cliffhanger. He also doubled Michael Rooker, Leon, and actress Janine Turner. In 1999 Kauk trained and doubled Tom Cruise for the climbing scenes in Mission: Impossible 2.
Tom has help. It’s one thing training 6 months to a year for something, it’s another when you’ve trained 20 years.
Why lie? All the actors except Tom have doubles…
hes among the actors who tom trained to fly for top gun maverick
why would he lie about having a stunt double
@wc999 right! THIS guy is clearly not a liar! he never minds telling the truth and it wouldn’t hurt his career or reputation to say so.
Tarzan, come on…you know you had a stunt double. Izzy was your stunt double.

This is the real gains of acting for me! The experiences. Experiences can grow you as a person. And certainly within perspective. The friendships, finances, and fun are all just cherries on top for me! 🍒 The *need* to keep studying, stay fit, and hold yourself (leading with your character) at a higher standard makes this career like none other… …if you can keep away from all the pitfalls that can come from Hollywood.
And, hey, if y’all ever put this man in too much makeup and far too high lighting again I’m going to have to do somethin’ about it! 😄🩵 LoL Either get it right or let that beautiful face BE! Hahaha
That pensive moment… “I don’t understand why he was chillin by the window so much.” Belly laugh.
