Tom Cruise Hires Body Double For Mission Impossible 8

Tom Cruise hires body double for Mission Impossible 8.Tom Cruise, renowned for his death-defying stunts, reportedly used a hand double for a surprisingly mundane task in the latest Mission: Impossible film: flipping a single sheet of paper. A report in the Mirror revealed that the 62-year-old actor, exhausted from the demanding production schedule, opted for this unusual substitution.

A source cited in the report stated that while Cruise performs his own high-stakes stunts, a body double was used for this simple action to allow him a brief respite. The revelation, accompanied by a video circulating online, has sparked amusement and discussion among fans.

Online comments ranged from humorous observations about the unexpected use of a body double to insightful notes on the common practice of using stand-ins for shots where an actor's face isn't visible. Some joked about the potential dangers of paper cuts, while others poked fun at the irony of Cruise's meticulous commitment to dangerous stunts contrasted with this seemingly trivial exception.
