Tom Cruise secretly stuffed his shoes to achieve iconic Mission Impossible scene
Today, Saturday July 3, 2021, legendary actor Tom Cruise turns 59-years-old. The American icon has appeared in countless films and has become one of the most recognisable Hollywood stars of all time. Perhaps his biggest cinematic franchise is the Mission: Impossible series. Before he was climbing up the world’s tallest building or jumping out of moving planes, however, he carried out a heist at the CIA’s headquarters.

This thrilling and tense scene involved Cruise being dangled from the safe room’s ceiling to hack into its computer terminal.
Cruise’s character Ethan Hunt had to avoid a number of motion sensors in the room, as well as a number of other safety measures, including temperature and sound detectors.
This all came to a nail-biting end when his colleague, Franz Krieger (Jean Reno), dropped Hunt before narrowly catching him just before he hit the floor.
What followed was one of the most iconic moments in the M:I franchise: Hunt hanging just centimetres from the floor.
