Tom Cruise broke his leg on the set of the film "Mission: Impossible 6"

Tom Cruise nearly fell from the roof of a high-rise building, performing one of the tricks on the set of the sixth part of the film "Mission: Impossible", which are now taking place in London. The actor was seriously injured and nearly lost his life.

The actor-daredevil

55-year-old Tom Cruise, without fear, is a professional in his field. Feeling the need for thrills, the famous actor abandons the services of stuntmen and performs even the most complex tricks himself. But this time, luck turned from him ...

PE on the set

An unpleasant incident occurred with Cruz on August 13 while working on one of the scenes of the film "Mission: Impossible 6". According to the script, the protagonist, played by Tom, whom the pursuers are racing, must jump from one building to another.

During the jump, something went wrong and the actor, badly pushed off, could not jump to the next building. Cruz hit hard against the wall and only because of the safety ropes did not fall down.

The severity of what happened

He climbed himself up the rope to the roof and tried to get up and continue working, but he began to limp and knelt, and then he could not set foot on the injured leg writhing with pain.

After the examination in the hospital, it became clear that Cruz had broken two bones in the ankle joint. For a complete recovery, it will take about four months.
