Watch Tom Cruise Actually Hold His Breath For 6 Minutes
We previously reported that Tom Cruise held his breath for over six minutes to shoot the underwater scene in Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation. For those of you that weren't sure if this is something that you believe or not (since the sequence in the film wasn't captured in one long continuous shot), a behind-the-scenes featurette for the movie has been released that shows you a time-lapse video of the actor actually holding his breath underwater for six freakin' minutes.
One of the things I respect about Cruise is the fact that he is actually so committed to his films and the characters that he plays that he's willing to do his own crazy-ass stunts like this. Holding onto the side of an airplane while it takes off and holding your breath for over six minutes to shoot an underwater scene in the movie are both impressive as hell.
