Tom Cruise is a one-of-a-kind actor. I mean, how many actors do we know who does his own stunts at 55 years old? While this specimen of a man continues to wow fans on screen, behind the scenes, he also gets bruised up quite badly while jumping off cliffs and climbing up towers. That is the case when the actor jumped off a building while filming "Mission Impossible 6." A failed stunt left the actor limping off the set and obviously hurt.

Facts about 'Mission Impossible' stunts
Cruise has been in London for a few months now, filming the sixth installment of the movie franchise. "Mission Impossible" is best known for outrageous stunts, and the 55-year-old actor does all of them by himself.
In "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation" the actor clung to the side of a flying plane. He also climbed the highest tower in the world, the Burj Khalifa, in "Ghost Protocol." In true Tom Cruise fashion, "Mission Impossible 6" is no different and the actor is focused on doing his own stunts again.
