பிரபல ஹொலிவூட் நடிகர் டொம் குரூஸி, புதிய ‘மிஸன் இம்பொஸிபிள்’ திரைப்படத்துக்காக அபாயகரமான அதிரடிக் காட்சியொன்றில் நடித்து அனைவரையும் வியக்கவைத்துள்ளார்.
அவர் (52 வயது), பிரித்தானியாவுக்கு மேலாக 5000 அடி உயரத்தில் பறந்த விமானத்தில் தொங்கியவாறு மேற்படி காட்சியில் நடித்துள்ளார்.
வழமையாக இத்தகைய காட்சிகளில் நடிக்கும் கதாநாயகர்கள் தமக்குப் பதிலாக தம்மைப் போன்ற தோற்றத்தைக் கொண்ட சாகஸக் கலைஞரையோ அல்லது பொம்மைகளையோ பயன்படுத்துவது வழமை.
ஆனால் டொம் குரூஸியோ தானே அந்த விமானத்தில் தொங்கியவாறு நடித்துள்ளார்.
அந்த 4 இயந்திரங்களைக் கொண்ட எயார் பஸ் ஏ400எம் விமானத்திற்கு வெளியே தொங்கியவாறு பயணிக்கும் காட்சியில் அவர் விமானத்தின் கதவுடன் இரு பாதுகாப்பு இணைப்புகளால் கட்டப்பட்டிருந்தார்.
அத்துடன், விமானத்தின் வேகத்தால் தனது உடலுக்குப் பாதிப்பு ஏற்படாத வகையில் அவரது உடல் அசைவை கட்டுப்படுத்தும் பாதுகாப்பு ஆடையை அவர் அணிந்திருந்தார்.

Is this the most daring stunt EVER by a movie star? Tom Cruise clings to side of a military plane 5,000ft above British countryside for new Mission: Impossible film (and yes, that really IS him)
Tom Cruise has made it his personal mission to make any thrilling action scene look possible, by doing it all himself.
And in the fifth installment of Mission: Impossible, the 52-year-old actor wasn’t going to let someone else step in when he went 5,000ft above the British countryside for his latest incredible movie stunt.
The Hollywood actor surpassed himself when he put himself in grave danger, hanging from the side of an Airbus A400M in a full tailored suit in character as Ethan Hunt, while the aircraft flew over the UK
Most dangerous stunt yet: Tom Cruise hangs from the side of a moving Airbus A400 M flying over the British countryside for Mission: Impossible 5
Bracing himself: The stunt is thought to be his most daring yet, including sequences that have seen him scale the world’s tallest building and free run across moving cars
Tom, who’s scaled the world’s tallest building and free climbed Colorado’s 2,000ft canyons for the Mission Impossible movie franchise, was once again going solo on the death-defying stunt.
All his own work: With little practise on the ground, the Hollywood actor, 52, performed his own death-defying stunt at 5,000ft in a full suit, gripping tightly to the travelling aircraft when it took off across the UK
Perfect preparation: The actor, insisting on doing the stunt solo, is briefed on the best way to lower his risk in the air
Stunt pro: Well accustomed to the risks of doing his own stunts, the 52-year-old Hollywood hero gets himself into position before the aircraft takes flight
And the 5ft 6″ actor spared himself the protective clothing, dressing as Ethan in a charcoal slim fit suit that gave him limited movement and scaling the moving airbus in just brown brogues to offer him minimal grip.
Mission Impossible 5, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, sees Tom reprise his role as Ethan, a Field Agent for secret agency Impossible Mission Force, for a fifth time.
The fourth installment Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol was released in December 2011 and grossed more than $700million at the box office worldwide.
And the follow up is sure to be an exciting one as Tom was straight up to heights of 5,000ft on what was to be a clear day for flying in the rural UK location.
Holding tight: Tom has faced all sorts of dangers in his career, saying that one of his first was fearing being shot in 1981 film Taps
Flying high: The actor was suspended at 5,000 feet as the movie shot in Britain in September – Mission Impossible 5 has also filmed in Monaco, Austria and Morocco
Easy breezy: Tom, in character as Ethan Hunt, dressed in a tailored suit and brown brogue shoes that were not too practical for the stunt
All his own work: Pictures show the actor at a terrifying height, strapped to the aircraft door with only two safety harnesses
om – famous for action hero roles in movies such as Roy Miller in Knight And Day and Maverick in cult classic Top Gun – was shown the ropes by a double wearing his identical suit and an engineer wearing a boiler suit.
But the stunt pro didn’t need much convincing when it came to doing it himself, in what was to be his most ambitious stunt to date.
When Tom scaled the Burj Khalifa in Dubai for the movie’s prequel Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, he described the experience as a ‘learning on the job’ approach, in conversation with Total Film.
He said: ‘I literally had to figure a way to fly because even with months of training, I didn’t anticipate the crosswinds you get when you’re up that high.
