Tom Cruise Injured, Fractured 2⃣ Bones on ‘Mission: Impossible 6’ Sets!

Tom Cruise has always prided himself on his ability to perform his own stunts in all his movies but perhaps that’s about to change.

The 50-year-old actor injured himself when jumping from one London rooftop to another on Aug. 13 while filming Mission: Impossible 6. And, contrary to previous reports, it appears the injury was so serious, production has been shut down and Tom has flown back to the U.S. to recover.

The Oscar-nominated thespian broke two bones in his ankle when he slammed into a building and it will take months for him to heal, according to sources with the Daily Mail.

Because Tom is the film’s leading man and the entire story revolves around him, there’s little that can be filmed without him present. The delay could mean that Mission: Impossible 6 will be bowing on Christmas 2018 rather than the prior summer.

Footage of the accident has been released showing the beloved leading man attempt to make the jump between rooftops, only to tumble into the building’s outer wall, which was padded.

But the collision was clearly hard enough to break bones. After his failed jump, Tom limps around and clings to his ankle in apparent discomfort.
