The way that Tom Cruise has decided to wish his fans “safe and happy holidays” this Christmas has been more than just quirky and, of course, an excellent marketing idea for his next film. The actor has decided to send good wishes seconds before jumping out of a plane on the set of the latest film in the saga Mission Impossible.
Cruise, who seems as comfortable falling out of a plane as most of us see ourselves throwing ourselves on the sofa at home, explains in the video the reason for his special Christmas greeting: “I didn’t want the year to end without thanking everyone for coming to the movies,” and for supporting the highest-grossing film of his career.

The actor refers to the excellent data from what is his highest-grossing film so far. Is about Top Gun: Maverick, the sequel to the 1984 classic, which has been a hit with audiences and critics alike, and has grossed nearly $1.5 billion worldwide, making it only the second film to top $1 billion since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, behind Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The seventh installment in the series Mission: Impossible, Dead Reckoning: Part One, It will be launched in 2023. It has been written and directed by Christopher McQuarriewho is precisely the one who accompanies Cruise sitting nervously next to the movie star in the helicopter before he falls into the void.

With mock concern, McQuarrie warns Cruise that he still has a scene to shoot, pointing to the clock. The actor asks the director if he is going to accompany him on the jump, and he answers confidently: “Not on your life!”
As he plunges through the sky, Cruise once again thanks the audience for “allowing us to entertain you” calling his work “the true honor of a lifetime,” taking advantage of the spectacular speech as he descends to wish us all a “happy and safe vacations”, just before disappearing below the sky.
