Ten minutes of pure gold! Tom Cruise totally smashed a Lip Sync Battle against Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon on Monday, July 27 — busting some awesome moves and showing off his impressively sexy lead singer persona!
The 53-year-old actor revealed he was quite excited to take part in the now-famous talk show bit. “This is so ridiculous, I love it!” the Top Gun star said before the battle commenced. But it turned out, Suri Cruise‘s dad was taking his challenge pretty seriously — and the results were impressive!
Cruise started his lip syncing by crooning his way through The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face.” Word-perfect and totally getting into the song, the Mission: Impossible hunk ran his fingers through his hair as he smouldered at the microphone, ending his performance with an impressive 360 degree turn.
Knowing he would soon be upstaged, Fallon then did his own rendition of the Rolling Stones classic, “Undercover of the Night,” nailing Mick Jagger‘s trademark strut and carrying off his big lip impersonation with style.
But Cruise was back to put Fallon in his place when he performed a one-man duet of Meat Loaf‘s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light,” singing both the male and female parts, and shaking his head dramatically as he went between characters, to the delight of the crowd.
Watch the whole amazing clip in the video above and see how dramatic the finale got when Fallon and Cruise teamed up for a version of “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling,” by the Righteous Brothers!
