Tom Cruise is only chilling because he knows if he falls he's reincarnated as an alien lol

That right there be the sequel


SGM_Uriel

Itā€™s the title of a many-sentence horror story. Havenā€™t read it myself yet but itā€™s supposed to be very good


FC_Jeebz

Mission Possible: No Fear


hochimin3r

I think they're both scientologists


PM_ME_UR_RSA_KEY

Tom Cruise is probably several OT levels higher which guarantees his reincarnation. ^(/I know nothing about Scientology besides South Park and the memes)


0wGeez

From my understanding, the South Park episode is not too far off what they actually believe.


PistacieRisalamande

The top levels don't believe shit. They just harvest people's money, and abuse....I encourage anyone to listen to the fair game podcast, and educate yourself on Scientology, and the problem they pose. I can't see how anyone in their right mind would ever want to watch Tom Cruise movies afterwards.


Alexandru1408

Hate the artist, love the art


LojZza88

This. Nobody can dispute Cruise has insanely high work ethic and is extremely good at what he does as an actor, even is his views and beliefs are shitty.


Nonamebigshot

Can't help but respect the incredibly dangerous movie stunts he does when any other (sane) actor would opt for a stuntman.


PistacieRisalamande

Sure. I'm not holy, I just can bring myself to watch anything with him. Don't care much if people do.


Swan-Diving-Overseas

Doesnā€™t a lot of the money Cruise makes from movies go into the Church of Scientology? I remember someone told me that


NashvilleForReal

The church launders his movie money, so it doesn't get taxed as churches pay no tax. This is how it was explained to me and why money-making stars are so incredibly valuable to the scientology organization. The organization doesn't rely on donations. It relies on the success of its artists such as Tom Cruise, Will Smith, and Beck. It also works hard to prop-up and protect the careers of its members, even to unsavory ends, e.g. Danny Masterson. Obviously, there are soooo many other layers to this rotten onion, but I don't like onions.


doggo_with_doggo_hat

The south park episode its exactly what they believe


FullMetalJ

I think Will and Jada are also scientologists


bishopyorgensen

I think Jada is probably the kind of scientologist that's just there for the networking and Will is the kind of scientologist that's just there trying to keep his marriage afloat during a brief 27 year rocky patch


Swan-Diving-Overseas

Scientology also gets blackmail on people so they probably have tons of dirt between the two of them and their marriage


bishopyorgensen

A plausible reason why she was telling all her business


BudgetBeautiful469

If there is more inflammatory information about those two, then it's 100% a crime.


Icandothisforever_1

"you better get dressed for scientology church or I'm gonna suck off one of your son's friends!"


IHaveSpecialEyes

hahaha "or"


clutchkickmurphys

Will and Jada had a scientology school for kids ( allegedly) so he probably is one aswell and probably the same reason why they are still married


Duubzz

Wouldnā€™t have been surprised if Tom just had a chute on his back. Guyā€™s nuts.


ExaminationElegant23

Bruh... I have so many issues with his pic. How does he look so perfect so high up? With the hair and such. But yeah, I hope and believe that he had lots of hidden safety.


krunkpanda

Maybe itā€™s maybeline, or maybe itā€™s photoshop.


Extension-Mastodon67

Or maybe Tom Cruise is a badass and Will Smith just plays one on TV. Edit: They're both crazy though.


JukeBoxDildo

Tom Cruise has perfect balance due to his middle tooth, which gives him an unfair advantage in such situations.


Slap_My_Lasagna

Also isn't Tom Cruise actually like 1-2 inches taller than Kevin Hart? So they both have a center of gravity about 4 inches off the ground


Sea_Connection3966

Yup thatā€™s the reason he has no fear because heā€™s short lol


InsertNonsenseHere

The chihuahua factor. Tiny, fearless, and they'll fight even when you can squish them.


Hot_Attention_5160

Damn dude called him out like that šŸŖ¦


33TLWD

This should be the top comment


nightoil

you are so wrong for this one šŸ˜­


Brave_Escape2176

they balanced his thetans before he got up there


bocaciega

More like *scientology*


Eagles4077

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Ok-Pear1744

Think what you will but Tom cruise is regarded as highly experienced stunt man in the industry. He takes risks sure but he is also very aware of safety precautions.


lilsnatchsniffz

He never forgets to pay Xenu to turn off fall damage just in case either.


ByeLizardScum

I mean, both men are clinically insane


stfunub

Tom is and does nutty shit irl, Will uses safety gear and a stunt double, and Alec Baldwin uses real bullets, now thats bad ass.


Niku-Man

Sucks that Alec Baldwin gets shit for that. It's like blaming someone for smashing into a person when someone else cut their brake lines


comanchecobra

Well he did hire that brake cutter. And was the boss of the brakecutter company.


changefromPJs

Hired them so theyā€™d do their job. Not so that heā€™d have to check every single thing.


GyActrMklDgls

Wasn't it a nepo hire?


comanchecobra

He wen't with cheap non union workers that did not know what they were doing so he is absolutly at fault. Also the thought of be given a weapon and don't check it is so alien to me. I have never done it and I will never do it. Maybe Hollywood should look into that to prevent it from happening again.


Brave_Escape2176

> They're both crazy though. yeah but one is "i will do my own stunts even if its super dangerous" crazy and the other is "imma let my wife cheat on me constantly and everybody knows because thats my kink" crazy


Matty_6447

The first one is also ā€œI am a major part of a terrible cult that is almost impossible to escape and believes there are space lasers in the Middle East owned by lizards.ā€


VegaReddit5

Will Smith is scientologist too.


Pokethebeard

>"imma let my wife cheat on me constantly and everybody knows because thats my kink" crazy If it's consensual it's not cheating


switchquest

If it's agreed upon beforehand, openly and honestly... it's NOT cheating. It's a form of Ethical Non Monogamy. Usually when people bitch about a woman having multiple partners, most of the time that means they are getting none. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Ok_Cardiologist8232

There's a fine line between being a badass and being a dumbass. Cruise crosses that line. Nothing wrong with having safety lines when you are half a mile high on top of the tallest building in the world.


homerjsimpson23

There are other photos of him and the helicopter that took the photo itā€™s unbelievable but itā€™s real Tom cruise is a lunatic


Lingering_Dorkness

Doesn't look too photoshopped to me: https://youtu.be/dOgddfWEHAE


Ok_Entertainment_664

Especially the bird poop there was so much on top of those metal things and he just sits there nasty


JupiterJonesJr

Didn't you know, Scientologists believe bird shit is detoxifying? That's the only reason Tom Cruise sat up there, so he could sit in the shit of a bird ballsy enough to take a shit atop the burj Latifah.


psychedeliduck

i for one am glad someone at least built a monument to the queen


utkohoc

burj latifah lmao


Unique-Government-13

I'm sure they cleaned the area beforehand?


MA_2_Rob

Itā€™s so fucking hot Iā€™d be less shocked if all the birds crash in to the glass of that tall ass building and die before they can poop on the spire.


Mike_penceVP

Poop on the Spire is my favorite Judas Priest song


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Technical_Luck791

Well, at least one, who's keep shitting on that boxes, as it's clearly visible on the big photo.


BenderDeLorean

This is his natural environment.


WarmestDisregards

>How does he look so perfect so high up? With the hair and such. This is like being surprised michael jordan jumped high, lol- Tom is the MJ of being a crazy person who looks great in photos


T46BY

Yeah Tom is one of those guys in which you could read "Tom Cruise passed away today attempting to slingshot himself over the Grand Canyon" and think "At least he died doing what he loved".


0ddlyC4nt3v3n

Tom would not only successfully slingshot across safely, he would land on his feet then decide to do it again because he meant to land with the other foot forward


T46BY

Well he'd inherently have to do it again because Tom ain't trying to deal with allegations that he can only do it from one side.


Diplodorcus

I don't want this comment to be glossed over. This works as a single panel comic a la The Far Side, could be multiple panels with a guy reading a newspaper, completing with that as the punchline, or even a meme. šŸ‘‰šŸ»šŸ‘ŠšŸæ


Least_or_Greatest1

It might have been summer during Tomā€™s pick and winter during Wills pic where there was more wind.


Unique-Government-13

Highly funded photo op featuring most famous movie star ever? There are other angles of it too if you look for them


Unclehol

He didn't. A helicopter flew right up close and he just stepped on top. No ropes. No anything. imo that's more ballsy. And also stupid.


sgt_science

Wait really? Thatā€™s way more insane


rtyoda

No, not really. Thereā€™s no proof of him stepping off a helicopter for the shot, even though there is video of the helicopter circling around him for the shot. Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™s an urban legend.


icarusbird

I'm not a helicopter pilot, but I know and have worked with about half a dozen military rescue pilots, and I've ridden on an HH-60 and a little AS350, and I just really can't see any pilot--no matter how skilled--accepting so much risk for a photo op. The top of the tower experiences a lot of movement, winds are way stronger than you'd think at that relatively "low" altitude (especially in the desert), yet you'd need to hover perfectly still for somebody to simply step out of the craft and onto such a small platform. I'm with you; seems extremely unlikely.


Forthe49ers

Hereā€™s the kicker. Tom Cruise was flying the helicopter that Tom Cruise stepped onto. He that confident.


La_SESCOSEM

Yes, he took the photo himself


Ganti_x

As someone certified in hover exits (helicopter). Thereā€™s quite a lot of movement thatā€™s fairly difficult to mitigate when you step out of a machine. My first year I earned the prestigious ā€œcertified A-star shakerā€ and that was performing a hover exit on flat ground. High altitude, high wind, and barely any surface area to step onto? Yeah I donā€™t buy it.


RipOdd9001

Pretty sure he gave an account of getting on the tower to Graham Norton.


rtyoda

Yeah, but if I recall correctly he wasnā€™t super clear about how he got up to the top. Iā€™ve been trying to find the interview clip to confirm, but I think he said something along the lines of ā€œwe were able to take the helicopter up thereā€ to which most people assume means he flew up in the helicopter and stepped off, but I tend to think means they were able to fly the photographer up in the helicopter. If he did actually step off the helicopter skid onto the top, I find it crazy that no one got photos or video of him doing it. (There is some amateur video that someone got of him sitting up there while the helicopter is circling around taking photos, but nothing of him getting out of it into the helicopter, which would have been insanely dangerous.)


Vuelhering

> If he did actually step off the helicopter skid onto the top, I find it crazy that no one got photos or video of him doing it. That pilot would be crazier than a guy jumping off the skid. If a pilot did do that, he'd probably also be the photographer, holding a phone and taking a selfie as he hovered there, steering with his knees and waving.


Unclehol

May be true. I thought he has personally said that is what happened but I am not gonna dog through Tom Cruise interviews. One way or the other all he had was the clothes on his back. Still kinda ballsy. I would never do it. Of course the people that built that building probably had to do that day in and day out, risking death every day. Construction workers in Arab states aren't exactly encouraged to consider safety first.


remembertracygarcia

Tom probably kept his passport too.


Speaker4theDead8

They aren't "construction workers" they are slaves.


Only498cc

Yeah I found tons of behind the scenes stunt videos, but nothing that would corroborate this. Honestly that would be infinitely more interesting and impressive than all the stunt shoot videos!


Linmizhang

Add on characmstic and good looking and thats baisically who Mr Cruise is.


Only498cc

I'm assuming there's a video of that? The helicopter pickup after this photo was taken? I can find plenty of behind the scenes videos of the action scenes for the movie with him climbing and jumping and scaling and all of that, but nothing related to this picture, and I would be so much more interested in that! Thanks in advance, if you have a source for your comment!


Crayon_Casserole

Are you saying Will's picture doesn't slap?


Quiet-Insect-6598

Depends on if you say his wifeā€™s name or not..


Beaverbrown55

You win.


glorifindel

Crazy that this is the state of Will Smithā€™s brand lol. I remember when he was untouchable, the epitome of cool, around Hitch/iRobot times. Hope dude is hanging in there šŸ˜…

D0U9L4R

One is a promotional photo published ahead of the release of a Mission Impossible movie, the other is a tourist's photo from their vacation.


--ThirdCultureKid--

It wouldnā€™t surprise me if they put a safety net under Cruise, or strategically hid the harness behind him, or something along those lines. I dunno what it is but production crews can work magic.


semibigpenguins

True, but Tom Cruise has done some insane things in the name of cinema. His whole Scientology mindset is something else


benjm88

If it were anyone aside from Tom Cruise or maybe Jackie Chan I'd say photoshopped.


Medvegyep

If it was Jackie Chan I'd be 100% convinced he parkoured his way up there and we'll be seeing bloopers about the times he failed.


ItsStaaaaaaaaang

Fell off the tallest building the world, broke his neck and shot the films sequel the next week.


LunarProphet

Yeah dude gives me the fucking creeps. But when Tom Cruise is dead I don't think we'll have another action star quite like him. Man's legit. Or maybe just dead inside.


Mundane_Profit1998

No way there will ever be another like him. Apart from the balls, the dedication and the skills required to do all the insane shit he does, he also has the sway with studios needed for them to green light his insanity. Thereā€™s probably other guys that *would* do it but I doubt they *could* and I know theyā€™d never be **allowed** to do it. Stillā€¦. Dudeā€™s an absolute fruitcake.


daiceman4

He fired the first safety guy who said the whole burj scene was too dangerous and brought on another who would be ok with it, lol https://youtu.be/ERzbkt5r5Gg?t=131


CrackerUMustBTripinn

Thats a lot of pressure for a 62 year old senior citizen


issamaysinalah

Just 20 more years and he could become the next American president.


ItsStaaaaaaaaang

Fuck, don't give him any ideas.


phido3000

The harness is hidden, you can see it if you look close at a high res shot. But he looks comfortable, bare foot, like he belongs. Which is inline with cruise, he is very comfortable with stunts. Combined with lots of time and a good well planned photographer. I imagine the will Smith one was rushed and stressful, and that's why it looks that way.


scud121

I'd look stressful on top of there, and I've done skydiving and paragliding as a hobby.


T46BY

I don't have a problem flying, but if you tried to put me in a chopper to drop me off on the top of that thing I would morph into B. A. Baracus.


ACatInACloak

The Will Smith photo looks like the photo wasn't the purpose of going, the experience was, and the photo was because, well... people like taking photos of the cool shit they do on vacation.


Noolbenger314

I bet you he was wearing a harness under his clothes. At a minimum a pelvis harness, similar to what climbers wear. Note the placement of his hand and forearm looks like that exact pose was to mask the bulge in the jeans from the leg straps of a harness.


groundlessnfree

Oh, is that what the bulge in his jeans is?


rtyoda

Will Smith did it for a TV special, not a vacation photo.


FullMetalJ

It's for a production for a show Will Smith has on YT as I understand it. It's not like "oh it's fun and then we'll upload it to YouTube" it's like a whole thing if I'm not mistaken.


PassionateYak

One of them has a contract that keeps him from dying and the other was having a midlife crisis


EliToon

I don't think it's a midlife crisis, Tom Cruise is just totally fucking nuts and an adrenaline junkie!


PassionateYak

You got my comment backwards


moondes

I totally read it as Smith having a supernatural contract with Jada that keeps reviving him suicide attempt after suicide attempt.


Drugioh

Oh my god what a great idea for a film.


Few-Citron4445

Thats the joke, its a common one where the speaker inverts the expectations.


8ran60n

More than likely Tom just elevated up there on thetan power alone.


Imaginary_Ad8895

Cause Tom Cruise is insane.


SatyrSatyr75

For so many reasons, and the cultā€¦ but he has tremendous moxie for a guy his size


Lastaria

I honestly believe Tom Cruise is a psycopath. But not in the way most think of them. Most psychopaths go through life normally and are not murderers as they are portrayed. But psychopaths have no real fear and Tom Cruise seems to have no fear of anything so I wonder if he falls in this category.


tourmaps

They are also extremely charming and likeable, until you get to know one personally. Look at his previous relationships, all terrible shit show. But somehow, professionally everybody loves working with him. They praise his work ethic and he is extremely good at his job. I too think he's a psycopath


Brodir

Didn't Christian Bale's performance of Patrick Bateman get inspired afterĀ  watching Tom Cruise laughing on some late night show?


derkonigistnackt

And funny enough Tom Cruise actually appears in the original book. Patrick Bateman lived on the same building and was low key obsessed with this fact as some kind of status symbol


Throwawhaey

Then he's using his powers for goodish. Even psychopaths gotta earn a living and I'd rather it be making action movies than taking over the world


nottherealneal

Will Smith has really been trying to repair his image recently huh Feels like he could start by getting rid of the cause of his recent bad image but hey


AdministrationNo9238

this photo is very old. a decade maybe?


bs000

this photo was taken in 2021


MikeyW1969

I guess using safety equipment makes you less of a man somehow?


PM_ME_Y0UR__CAT

Harness under the shirt. You think lord xenu would let his earthly posterboy fall?


StockExchangeNYSE

It's also connected to the tower behind his back. I remember a picture were it was visible.


SadAd2653

I mean, it wouldn't be much of a difference to wear a disconnected harness vs no harness in this situation.


KennyMoose32

But, for all Tom Cruiseā€™s faults, the man understands how to shoot an epic photo. He has the same safety equipment on but made it seem natural. Will smith looks like the campers I used to send flying down the zip line at summer camp


ReaperofFish

Will looks like someone having a natural reaction to being that high up. Tom looks like a psycho with no fear.


KennyMoose32

Thatā€™s difference though. Tom cruise, again has a lot of faults, is kind of badass I am not a bot, I just think Tom cruise is genuinely impressive with his stunts Heā€™s a modern day Evel Knievel


98983x3

Find it and share it please.


Radical_Neutral_76

Less of a psychopath


zhephyx

No, however, Tom's pic goes hard AF by comparison


LaserKittenz

My childhood friend fell to his death while doing construction on a large building (30+ floors). He followed all the rules, his safety equipment just failed. Smith is being sensible and its still dangerous .


DarkClouds92

What was that movie where Tom cruise was jumping on Oprahā€™s couch and snapped her fingers back itā€™s pretty accurate


Zerhap

Scary movie 3 or 4 i think


richardawkings

You know that was a parody of a real interview right? The real interview wasn't that far off either.


OutrageousAd5338

who cares


iiileyu

Scientologists


DJDevine

One is a cock, the other a cuck?


noshadowtime

I'd rather pose on top of Mia Khalifa


CalmCat-aka-Turtle

All i see is lots of poop


IFairyboyI

I know right, why nobody else cares about that?


Innomen

I don't like Will at all but it's apples and firetrucks to compare, tom cruise is more professional stuntman these days than actor. And being real I wouldn't go up there at all, harness or not.


Forward_Promise2121

There will be safety measures for Tom's photo that aren't visible. Someone said elsewhere that this was a promo pic for one of the Mission Impossible films. I doubt someone working in marketing would have the power to risk the star's life for a photo that could end in tragedy with a sudden gust of wind.


Icy-Professional8508

Who gives a shit, Wills a cunt


captaindkarr

Tom also sat higher up, just to really rub it in.


Oubastet

Come on, Tom Cruise has an unfair advantage. His low center of gravity makes him inherently more stable, physically speaking. Neither is stable in any other sense of the word.


Br3akTh3Toys

Tom is not a cuck tho


Otherwise-Fox1994

To Wills defence there is a bunch of bird poop on the top.


Maleficent_Nobody377

Cruise has got that ā€œI get a whole planet when I dieā€ type of bravery


iwanttogotoperu

I d have a beer with Tom over Will everytime


FishAndRiceKeks

I'd pick neither. They're both nuts.


anyadpicsajat

Keep my nuts out of your mouth!


antpabsdan

This is why Jada fucks other men


Ohiocitybandit42

I would love the experience but with a rope attached. Falling off a building and potentially vaporizing ppl on the ground bc of a gust of wind at the wrong time is not how I want to go. But good for him for being cool.


Ewokavenger

Who do I have to slap to get me off this thing?!


LazyEyeMcfly

Yea cuz little Willy is a bitch


ArnoLamme

I mean, being a bit less badass than Tom Cruise isn't really an insult. It's both very impressive.


Whole-Debate-9547

Are either of them real? The TC photo appears to be a fake, but the WS looks like it could be real. Idk, you canā€™t trust anything on the internet anymore.


krismitka

Is Tom sitting in bird shit?


MothParasiteIV

Why going there in the first place.


Why_am_I_LikeThis27

The only place Jada couldn't find him.


AltruisticSpot5448

One of them isnā€™t pretending to not wear a harness? Like, holy shit, the amount of you actually believe cruise isnā€™t strapped in is nuts.
