Tom Cruise, renowned for his daring stunts in the "Mission: Impossible" franchise, has also made a name for himself as an exceptionally generous gift-giver. His co-stars from the latest installment, "Dead Reckoning," have shared stories of his thoughtful presents, which range from thrilling experiences to delectable treats.
Simon Pegg, a long-time collaborator, recounted a memorable day off where Cruise treated the cast to a helicopter ride and shark diving excursion. Pegg described it as a quintessential "Tom Cruise kind of day," highlighting the star's penchant for extraordinary gestures.
Hayley Atwell, who joined the franchise for "Dead Reckoning," revealed she's a recipient of Cruise's famed Christmas coconut cake, a tradition she's enjoyed for several years. She also mentioned a unique birthday gift – a beautiful amphora, which enhances the taste and clarity of water.
Pom Klementieff, another "Dead Reckoning" co-star, shared her love for the coconut cake, admitting to indulging in it daily, despite the sugar rush. However, the most impactful gift she received was skydiving lessons, a passion she discovered thanks to Cruise's generosity. He arranged for an instructor and even jumped with her after she obtained her license.
Cruise's generosity extends beyond the "Mission: Impossible" set. "Top Gun: Maverick" co-star Glenn Powell received flying lessons as a Christmas gift, fulfilling a dream inspired by Cruise's own aviation enthusiasm.
Furthermore, Cruise frequently demonstrates appreciation for his fans. He recently surprised an Atlanta audience by introducing "Dead Reckoning" in person, posing for photos and creating a memorable experience.
