Last week (April 16), Cruise opened up about a daredevil motorcycle stunt he completes in the upcoming new Mission: Impossible film.

Speaking on The Graham Norton Show, Cruise discussed the logistics behind filming a scene in which he revealed he rides a motorcycle off an enormous ramp which overlooks a cliff.

Last year, footage emerged of the ramp in Norway as filming on the seventh instalment of the series got back underway following delays caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Speaking on the show, Cruise confirmed the stunt saying: “I ride a motorcycle off that ramp.”

He went on to reveal that he spent five weeks in Norway filming the stunt. “I did this particular one eight times, I did it six in one day and two the other day and we spent a good year prepping this thing and figuring [it out]…I’ve wanted to do it since I was a little kid,” he said.

“The first time I did it [was] pretty nerve-wracking, we didn’t know what was going to happen. No matter how much you train or what you do…there’s so many things…that were challenging. It is exhilarating attempting to do it.”

The next Mission: Impossible film, which was slated for a November 2021 release, will now open on May 27 2022 following delays caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
