The release of a Tom Cruise film is one of the most anticipated events among Hollywood film buffs. The superstar’s on-screen persona is only matched by his penchant for hardcore action that is an integral part of his films. The unique feature of his work lies in the fact that Cruise has always performed his stunts himself without involving a body double.
Action was always part of Tom Cruise’s life right from when he was very young. In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel on his show, the Mission Impossible star went down memory lane and spoke about his obsession to master different action techniques using unconventional methods.
Tom Cruise Used Creative Techniques To Learn Action

The much awaited film has gained even more hype after BTS footage that showed Cruise indulging in death-defying stunts on a motorbike. Recalling his obsession with action from a very young age, Cruise spoke of unconventional methods that he used to create and conquer stunts.
“Even as a little kid, like, I used to steal lumber from a junkyard or, you know. And then I’d ride down the hill as fast as I could and hit the ramp and go over garbage cans. You know, I tried to do that when I was a kid. It didn’t work.”
Cruise went on to add that his techniques used to land him in the hospital with bruises many times during his childhood and stated that these setbacks actually made him persevere even more in his efforts.
