"Real Life Hero" Tom Cruise Saved The Life Of An Actress

The actor is a true man of action who has not hesitated to save his co-workers on more than one occasion.

Although it is usual to see Tom Cruise as a man of action in the films he stars in, it was recently learned that his heroic role has transpired on more than one occasion in real life. The first of them even saved the life of his co-star, actress Elisabeth Shue.

The facts were revealed by a member of the staff of the filming of the film Cocktail (1987), who narrated to the British newspaper The Sun, the amazing act of Cruise, who did not hesitate and pounced on the actress, who could have been decapitated by the propeller of a helicopter.

"We were shooting the scene from a helicopter, where Tom and Elisabeth are riding horses along the beach," Bennett wrote in his post. “After a couple of takes, the pilot would land the helicopter on the beach, and Tom and Elisabeth would come over to watch the reshoots and take notes from the director. The only monitor was in the front left seat of the helicopter," said Bill Bennett, who was a camera operator on the aforementioned film. 

 

But Tom's acts of bravery do not stop there, it recently emerged that during the filming of the seventh installment of Mission: Impossible, the actor rescued a cameraman who slipped from a moving train car while filming a risk scene.
