Actor Tom Cruise climbed onto the roof of a cinema in London to promote his new movie

What film did the Hollywood star decide to promote in such an unusual way? And what was the actor wearing?

On May 11, the star of the iconic franchise "Mission: Impossible" was spotted on the roof of London's BFI IMAX cinema—not a scene from a movie, but reality. The footage was published by the DiscussingFilm account on "X".

The images show a man in a suit standing at the height of the sixth floor. Some immediately recognized the distinctive silhouette—and they weren't wrong.

One eyewitness, a user of the social network "X" under the nickname YUB17Y, wrote: I looked out the window during the holidays and saw Tom Cruise standing on the BFI roof.

The popular publication Deadline confirmed: the actor, known for films like "Rain Man" and "War of the Worlds," was indeed on the roof.

The reason? It's very much in his style. The BFI IMAX is completely draped in banners for his new film—"Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning."

The premiere is already on May 23, and it seems the actor decided to remind everyone in an unconventional way—by simply climbing onto the roof. Without cables, doubles, or unnecessary fuss. After all, is one of those actors who loves performing stunts himself.

According to People, in mid-May, Cruise will head to Cannes to present the film at the film festival. And who knows—maybe we should expect another spectacular appearance? The actor made a spectacular appearance in front of the audience in February 2025 as well. Footage of him was shown in a Super Bowl commercial, and many didn't recognize the celebrity's face then.
