Tom Cruise has become a Guinness World Record titleholder for a fiery "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning" stunt. In the stunt, Cruise jumps out of a helicopter and deploys a parachute, then lights it on fire.

Tom Cruise’s quest to become America’s most death-defying stuntman continues to pay off. The Oscar-nominated actor has spent the last couple of decades primarily focused on his action-packed “Mission: Impossible” films — and just set a Guinness World Record for one of the most daring stunts in the series.

Tom Cruise has set a very specific new world record after performing an incredible stunt while filming Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. The Ethan Hunt actor has been awarded the Guinness World Record for "most burning parachute jumps by an individual" for the stunt, which he performed a whopping 16 times during filming.
