Tom Cruise Thanks Fans For Supporting Top Gun While Filming a Death-Defying Stunt for MI: Dead Reckoning

Etonline.com: Tom Cruise is thanking Top Gun: Maverick fans in a big way!

Cruise delivered a special announcement to fans of the film in celebration of its record-breaking box office numbers. In a video shared from a plane on set of the next installment of the Mission Impossible franchise, Dead Reckoning, Cruise shows off his skydiving skills while thanking fans for going to the movies.

"Hey everyone," Cruise began. "Here we are over stunning South Africa, where we're filming Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning parts one and two. And I didn't want the year to end without thanking you all for coming out to the theaters and thank you for supporting Top Gun: Maverick."

Dead Reckoning director Christopher McQuarrie -- who was also the Top Gun: Maverick screenwriter -- also appeared in the death-defying stunt as he playfully interrupted the actor and reminded him to keep his speech short.

"Listen, we really gotta roll, we gotta get the shot," McQuarrie told the 60-year-old action star.

Returning to task, Cruise once again thanked fans for supporting the Golden Globe-nominated film before making his descent into the vast, blue ocean below. 

"Where was I?" Cruise, who is known for performing many of his own stunts, asked while free-falling. "Oh yeah. Thank you for supporting Top Gun: Maverick, and thank you for allowing us to entertain you. It truly is the honor of a lifetime."

He continued, wishing viewers a happy holidays, "I'm running out of altitude, so I have to get back to work. We have to get this shot. You have a very safe and happy holiday, we'll see you at the movies."
