Superstar Tom Cruise was photographed on Sunday afternoon standing on the roof of the BFI IMAX building in London. The unexpected sighting comes just a day before he is set to receive the prestigious BFI Fellowship, the British Film Institute’s highest honour, on Monday.
The actor, in town for the event, appeared to take a moment away from formalities for the unanticipated stunt. The BFI IMAX is currently wrapped in a massive advertisement for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the eighth installment in the long-running action franchise. While it’s not confirmed whether Cruise’s rooftop moment was part of a publicity stunt, sources close to the actor confirmed it was indeed him.
Cruise is no stranger to taking risks in real life that echo his on-screen feats. His latest film, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, hits theaters in the U.S. on May 23, with an earlier release in India on May 17. The film will also screen Out of Competition at the Cannes Film Festival on May 14, where Cruise and the cast are expected to attend.
The upcoming film continues the story from Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023), with Cruise reprising his role as Ethan Hunt. This time, Hunt is up against an artificial intelligence threat known as the Entity. The plot follows his race to retrieve a sunken Russian submarine that holds the key to defeating the AI.
The cast includes returning stars Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Angela Bassett, and Henry Czerny.
