Jumping off cliffs at the age of 61 isn’t something many would partake in unless it’s Tom Cruise, who is quite habitual to risking his life in order to elevate his films.

Tom Cruise’s Death-Defying Stunts Had a Minor Impact on Louis Theroux’s Marriage

Known for his numerous documentaries with BBC and foremostly his exquisite Jiggle Jiggle rap, which took the internet by storm in 2022, Louis Theroux expressed his interest in interviewing Tom Cruise. Although the journalist has interviewed many A-listers in the game, from Helena Bonham Carter to Michaela Coel, he is adamant about chatting with Cruise for a variety of reasons. While the MI Star’s history with Scientology is a major reason, Cruise’s habit of pulling off death-defying stunts is another factor, especially his recent stunt in MI – Dead Reckoning Part One.

Among the millions of viewers who were fascinated by Cruise’s jump off a cliff, one was Theroux’s wife, which led to a moment of self-doubt for Theroux. He jokingly explained to Amelia Dimoldenberg, claiming that he’ll confront Cruise on the matter, saying,

“I don’t know if you saw the stunt that went viral of him jumping off a cliff on a motorbike and a parachute. My wife watched it approximately 100 times almost in a way, almost as if to say like, ‘If you were a real man, you’d be doing things like this. And Tom Cruise is older than you… If I ever interview Tom Cruise, I would definitely talk to him about that”

While Cruise and Theroux are still yet to share the same room, fans will hope the two eventually cross paths and engage in a conversation, which surely will be a sight to behold.
