This Footage Of Tom Cruise Driving And Drifting One Handed Through The City of Rome For a Mission Impossible Car Chase Further Proves How Insane He Is

In Tom Cruise's latest attempt to end his life he agreed to handcuff himself to his co-star Hayley Atwell (twist my arm) while he drove through the busy, narrow streets of Rome for his upcoming Mission Impossible blockbuster. This psycho was just drifting all over the place like a maniac all because it makes for great cinema. You may think he's a weirdo Scientology nut, and he is, but when it comes to delivering the best version of action possible he will quite literally go to no end to make it happen. 

Stunt double? Never heard of one. Tom saw all the softies in the Fast and Furious franchise with their fake driving and decided he could do it himself. Just imagine Hayley Atwell's reaction when she found out this whole car chase was going to be 100% real. Yeah, acting with Tom Cruise is a whole different ball game than the CGI stuff she was dealing with in the Avengers as Agent Peggy Carter. There is no line for Tom Cruise, unless Shakira draws it, and then only maybe he'll stop. 

Whether it's hanging out of a plane...

He's incredible. Not good enough? Fine, he went outside a plane as he promoted this upcoming movie. 

You won't find someone more devoted to their craft than Tom Cruise. The man would rather die than fake three seconds of a scene. I imagine he's asked in the past if they could film with live bullets. Being Tom's stunt director/safety supervisor must be the worst job in the world. If you tell him no he just fires you. Actually though..

The best. We're less than a month from his next masterpiece, and did I mention Hayley Atwell is in it?
