Tom Cruise is every inch the daring stuntman as he takes on the Pont de ... trends now

He has thrown himself into filming the latest instalment in the high-octane and iconic film franchise.

And Tom Cruise was every inch the stuntman as he got onto a motorbike to speed through the streets of Paris while filming intense scenes for Mission Impossible 7 on Thursday.

The Hollywood legend, 61, was dressed in a brown leather jacket with matching gloves, and beige trousers. 

He took on the thrilling Pont de Bir-Hakeim Bridge in Paris during the filming of the upcoming Mission: Impossible movie. 

This action-packed scene captures the essence of adventure that the franchise is known for, set against the picturesque backdrop of one of Paris' iconic bridges.

The actor was recently back in the UK to film the eighth installment of Mission Impossible and was spotted shooting in the heart of Westminster, just roads away from Downing Street.

The untitled film - which will likely be called Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two - is scheduled to come out May 23, 2025, after Dead Reckoning Part One was released in July last year.

MI:8 was supposed to hit cinemas this summer, but production had already been delayed due to the Hollywood writers' strike.

Production on the eighth film had originally halted so that the cast could promote Part One, and then the strike began causing further delays.

The Mission: Impossible film series began in 1996 and is based on the 1966 television series of the same name.

As well as starring Tom, the eighth film will also see the return of stars Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff and Vanessa Kirby.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One underperformed at the box office compared to the previous films in the franchise, despite Tom's attempts to extend its run.

Tom has been mixing work and play during his time in Europe, even partying the night away with his friends the Beckhams at Victoria's 50th birthday bash on Saturday night.
