Hollywood actor Tom Cruise has made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for his parachute stunt in the film 'Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning.'

On the 5th (local time), U.S. media Variety reported that Tom Cruise set a Guinness World Record by performing 16 jumps with a flaming parachute while filming an airplane scene in 'Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning.'

Recently, the production company Paramount released behind-the-scenes footage of the aerial stunt. Tom Cruise noted just before the jump, "If the parachute twists while it's on fire, I will spin and burn. I have to untwist and light it within 10 seconds," adding, "We will do it smartly. It's not about doing it dangerously. Of course, we won't take risks."

Afterward, Tom Cruise drew attention by performing a stunt where he jumped from a helicopter 16 times while wearing a parachute.

In addition, Tom Cruise has gained attention for directly challenging various stunts in this film, from 'wing walking' action on top of an airplane to underwater submarine action.

He conveyed during a recent press conference that regarding stunt acting, "What I've realized is that I enjoy the burden. I appreciate the responsibility of making films. I often do extreme things, and people ask if it’s not scary. Honestly, it is scary. However, it's perfectly fine to feel that way and not to be afraid. I never just look for what has been safe before. Having already done many things, some feel mostly safe. Still, I come to understand myself and also understand humans. I've always had curiosity about humans, and I enjoy learning more about it. I learn new skills and apply them."

Meanwhile, 'Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning' is an action blockbuster film where Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the IMF team members risk their lives in a single mission that leads to a life-threatening crisis threatening all of humanity. It is the eighth installment of the series, encompassing the 30 years since the debut of the 'Mission Impossible' series in 1996.
