Tom Cruise posing with the Olympic flag (Image: GETTY) Mission Impossible actor Tom Cruise delivered a stunt to remember at the Olympics closing ceremony - but now his creative director and executive producer Ben Winston has admitted that it was a "nightmare" negotiating all the logistics that went along with it. Tom had insisted on being hands-on and jumping off the roof himself, rather than leaving it to a professional stunt double - so it was high energy from everyone involved. "[When I initially pitched the stunt to Tom], I told him, it was a man in a balaclava who jumped from the roof of the stadium," he recalled.
"Tom’s feedback was, 'I love the idea, only we’re not doing a stuntman in a balaclava. I’m going to be the one who jumps off the roof, and I’m going to be the one who drives through Paris.'" He continued to The Hollywood Reporter : "You forget what a nightmare it was.
I feel like live television might be that. You forget how much you go through." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
