"There's always that adrenalin before you do a stunt," the death-defying star told the Daily Record this past summer. "I want to entertain the audience, and part of making these movies is doing my own stunts."
Mission: Impossible 4 -- in which Cruise plays agent Ethan Hunt -- hits theaters early next year.
