Tom Cruise has disclosed that he begins his day with a massive breakfast to sustain his energy for the high-octane stunts in 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.' The iconic actor recognizes the rigorous training and physical demands required for stunts, like wing-walking on a biplane. Director Christopher McQuarrie emphasizes Cruise's unique role in the production, acting as a one-man crew. This dedication to authenticity is underscored by stunt coordinator Wade Eastwood, who assures that all stunts were done in real conditions, contrary to possible perceptions of green screen usage.
I actually eat a massive breakfast. The amount of energy it takes - I train so hard for that wing-walking. I'll eat, like, sausage and almost a dozen eggs and bacon and toast and coffee and fluids.
Anytime you see Tom in the plane, he's at the controls. He's basically a one-man film crew: operating the camera, acting and flying.
I remember seeing old footage of wing-walking. Those aircraft were only traveling at, I don't know, 40, 50 miles an hour. This aircraft is up to over 120 miles an hour.
Everyone will think we did some on green screen on the ground. I guarantee there was not one single shot that was not on a plane flying for real.
