Tom Cruise ’s quest to become America’s most death-defying stuntman continues to pay off.

Thanks in large part to the Mission: Impossible franchise, Tom Cruise has become as well known for his death-defying stunts as he is for his acting. His stunts are such a phenomenon that Guinness World Records has awarded him a new record, one as improbable as the dangerous feats Cruise undertakes.
