Tom Cruise – Mission: Impossible

Tom Cruise appears desperate to meet Xenu, or whatever happens when you die in Scientology (The Richest didn’t have the budget to allow me to reach the thetan level that tells you). There’s literally no stunt the man won’t do. From sitting atop the tallest building in Dubai for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol to his latest bout of insanity for Rogue Nation in which he hangs from the side of a plane during take off. For the same film, he also was adamant about staying under water for up to six minutes, despite a stunt crew on set just in case he had a moment of clarity.

The actor also flew his own jets in Top Gun, performed the motorcycle chase in Knight and Day, and allowed himself to be blown forward by an explosive in Edge of Tomorrow. Surely, there must be some stuntman union regulations he’s breaking, taking work from hardworking daredevils.
