Tom Cruise's Insane Moves For 'Mission: Impossible IV - Ghost Protocol': How He Did Them (VIDEO)


First Posted: 12/02/11 12:17 PM ET Updated: 12/02/11 12:33 PM ET

We've spent months hearing about -- and through trailers, seeing glimpses of -- Tom Cruise's insane vertical grappling up the side of the Burj Khalifa building in Dubai.

Now, we finally get to learn how he actually pulled them off.

In this new video for ET Online, Cruise and the rest of his "Mission: Impossible IV - Ghost Protocol" co-stars discuss the crazy climbing, amongst a number of other topics. Cruise trained for months, running up and down vertical walls to get his stamina built up for his big scenes. Meanwhile, Paula Patton prayed that he'd be okay on filming days -- and Jeremy Renner, as he said last week, nearly puked.

Others run up and down the tallest buildings in the world for fun? I thought those who do get extra hazard pay for that.

Yeah - while tethered in a wired-up suit, I think even YOU could do what the Teeny Fruit did.

I saw a trailer for this on TV, it was hilarious because Cruise was not even in it, except for a few seconds at the end of him swinging from a rope. tells you everything doesnt it when they studio cuts him out of the promo

The television trailer for this film is FANTASTIC.
Perhaps you should clean your eyeglasses and turn up the volume on
your tele the next time the ad appears.

Just saying ................

he wasn't in the trailer i saw, that's all I am saying. And funny enough, I saw a billboard today for this movie, and only his chin was in it, everyone elses face was but his. very interesting

I couldn't care less about his religion. I still and will always like his movies (especially the action flics).

I have to agree with you. I've always thought his acting is phenomenal. His personal life seems nutty as can be, but I don't concern myself about anyone's personal beliefs unless it's harmful to others.

He is not my favorite actor, but I applaud his passion towards his work. His religion and bis personal lote have nothing to do with it.

The CULT he follows has no deity - it preaches no good deeds or charity....it is NOT a "religion."

If you ever break training, he did a great performance in Tropic Thunder that would amaze you. It was hard to believe it was Tom, both in appearance and outrageous character.

It's still not enough to prove to the world that you're straight and secure with who you are. I've never seen anyone who overcompensated more than Cruise.
