At 58, you’d think Tom Cruise would be looking to cut back on the death-defying stunts that made him a bonafide action hero.
But despite film studios willing to provide the A-lister with the best stunt doubles money can buy, he still insists on hanging out of choppers, leaping over buildings and flying his own planes.
“With technological advances in filmmaking, the studios are under more pressure to make action sequences crazier than ever,” says an insider. “Especially on something like the new Mission: Impossible film, which Tom is working on right now. Because he’s worth so much, the insurance for this dude is sky-high and the joke among the props department is that no one wants to be in charge of Tom’s parachute!”

Sources tell Woman’s Day that Tom, whose determination to perform his own stunts has already seen him break his ankle while filming Mission: Impossible – Fallout, has been advised to curtail the adrenaline-pumping scenes – or update his will accordingly.
