Nothing’s impossible when “Mission Impossible” is filming on location.
A man was hiking through England’s Lake District when Tom Cruise parachuted out of a chopper and into the middle of the hiking path Friday, according to The Sun, which published wild footage of the stunt.
The bewildering encounter, part of filming for “Mission: Impossible 7,” left Andras Katica and his friend Tutyi “totally flabbergasted,” the article said.
“I certainly wasn’t expecting to bump into Tom Cruise during my hike,” Katica reportedly said.
“But he was really friendly and offered to have his picture taken. He looked like he was having a great time but was also clearly involved in some serious work for the filming.”
Cruise, 59, famously does his own stunts, even when he’s not on the clock.
In August, he was forced to make an emergency helicopter landing in a Warwickshire garden due to a nearby airport being shut down.
“By the time he parachuted away there was a little crowd gathered but Tom didn’t show any sign of nerves. He obviously loves the thrill of being involved in his own stunts,” Katica told the outlet.
In June, Cruise reportedly had to self-isolate after cast and crew members tested positive for COVID-19. He was recorded last year lashing out at workers on set who he said were not taking COVID-19 protocols seriously.
The film is set to be released next fall.
