Tom Cruise Sets Guinness World Record For Death-Defying 'Mission: Impossible' Stunt

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. The British institution announced Thursday that Cruise now holds the title for 'most burning parachute jumps by an individual' for leaping out of a helicopter 16 times before lighting his chute on fire in the latest franchise installment, 'The Final Reckoning.' 'Tom doesn't just play action heroes — he is an action hero!' wrote Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief at Guinness World Records. 'A large part of his success can be chalked up to his absolute focus on authenticity and pushing the boundaries of what a leading man can do.' Cruise and Paramount Pictures both posted behind-the-scenes footage of the stunt on social media. Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie can be seen plotting out logistics with the stunt coordinators and acknowledging the danger before Cruise attempts his jump. The stunt was filmed in the Drakensberg, South Africa. 'What I'm going to do is, I'm going to be deploying,' says Cruise in the footage, shot during a production meeting on location. 'If this is twisted while it's burning, I'm going to be spinning and burning. I have to kick out of the twist and then ignite within 10 seconds.' The result onscreen shows Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt, forced to cut the burning nylon tatters free to deploy a reserve chute at the last second. The stunt was shot with a chute that was soaked in fuel to light on fire. Over the course of his films, Cruise has run along the exterior of the 163-floor Burj Khalifa in Dubai ('Ghost Protocol'), harnessed himself to an airplane during takeoff ('Rogue Nation') and base-jumped into a canyon after riding off of a cliff ('Dead Reckoning'). 'Tom is no stranger to record breaking,' Glenday wrote Thursday. Cruise does indeed hold another Guinness title for 'most consecutive $100-million-grossing movies' for an actor, for the 11 films between 'Jack Reacher' (2012) and 'Final Reckoning.' The latter hit theaters in late May and has grossed nearly $400 million worldwide.

David Shaw and Tarriona ‘Tank' Ball Bring the Heat to New Orleans' Musicians on Musicians Event

Even with Bourbon Street bustling outside, nothing matched the buzzy energy of The Jazz Playhouse at The Royal Sonesta Hotel New Orleans as musicians David Shaw of the Revivalists and Tarriona 'Tank' Ball from Tank and the Bangas sat down with Rolling Stone senior music editor Joseph Hudak for the latest installment of the 'Musicians on Musicians' series in partnership with Sonesta International Hotels. Sitting on stage, closely surrounded by Sonesta Travel Pass guests and a lucky handful of their biggest fans, Shaw and Tank bonded over their unique artistry, friendship, and connections to New Orleans. 'The real focus is how place and location influence your creativity,' said Hudak, referring to the city's culture and how deeply entwined it is with both Shaw and Tank's music. More from Rolling Stone Making Music and Memories in Myrtle Beach How TikTok Is Rewriting the Rules for Emerging Artists How to Buy 'Rolling Stone Presents: Amplified, the Immersive Rock Experience' Tickets Online Shaw described moving from Ohio to New Orleans in 2007 to work for a gas company during the rebuild after Hurricane Katrina. 'I was a construction worker and also making music,' he said. Coming from what he described as 'cowshit and cornstalks,' New Orleans 'felt so different and foreign in such an amazing way…Immediately I could tell the city had a special feeling to it.' Still, he is careful to pay homage to the local musicians whose hard work and legacy have carved out the Crescent City as a premiere destination for great live music: 'Not being from here, it's really about respect and respecting the lineage.' As a spoken-word artist, Tank—who won her first Grammy in 2025 for Best Spoken Word Poetry Album with Tank and the Bangas' The Heart, The Mind, The Soul— got her start at local open mics. 'What made my open mic night really special is it was a poetry open mic and so I always felt so comfortable to be myself because the poets were so encouraging,' she recalled. It was this support and community that provided her with the space to create her signature combination of R&B and poetry. 'New Orleans is about authenticity,' Shaw added. 'Just be you and the wind will carry you.' Both artists have been fans of each other for a long time and recently played together at this year's Jazz and Heritage Festival. 'I love a good live show and I love a good live singer,' Tank gushed to Shaw. 'You're like a rock star to me!' Mentioning her influences (which range from poets Maya Angelou and Nicky to musicians like Queen and Tina Turner), she was also quick to add, 'The Revivalists are dope, too.' Asked what people get wrong about New Orleans music, Tank and Shaw encouraged visitors and locals alike to explore the city's culture beyond the big events like Mardi Gras. 'There's an underbelly of a different type of artistry that locals make come alive,' explained Tank. 'People in New Orleans entertain every day and half the time the music is free…They pour their life into it because it is a part of us.' Following the conversation, guests refreshed their cocktails, which included spicy palomas and local rye-based favorite the Vieux Carré, snacked on beignets, then settled in for intimate sets by both artists. Shaw, playing the acoustic guitar, kicked things off with 'Come Back Home' off his solo album Take a Look Inside. He then introduced a new song 'Lost and Found,' saying, 'It's probably my favorite song I've written in awhile…I'm a pretty shy guy, but—dammit—I'm proud of this one!' After more songs and stories, he reluctantly finished with 'When You Love Somebody,' telling the audience, 'Someone's gonna have to cut me off because I'm having too much fun.' Next, Tank took the stage with the Bangas, first playing the contagiously joyful 'Spaceships' from 2019's Green Balloon. The band's energy never flagged as they moved onto songs including 'Boxes and Squares' and a cover of fellow New Orleanian Louis Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World,' with a special spoken word addition by Tank. Calling to the happy audience, she sang, 'If you love New Orleans, say it's a wonderful world!' As the Sonesta International Hotels hosted 'Musicians on Musicians' events continue, Sonesta Travel Pass members will have the opportunity to attend and cheer on celebrated artists in multiple cities throughout this year.

Kristen Kish dishes on Season 22 of ‘Top Chef,' Emmys, and the show's global impact: ‘It's all driven by the fans'

Kristen Kish, the Emmy-nominated host of Bravo's Top Chef, returned for her second season at the helm, offering a fresh perspective shaped by her experience as both a former contestant and a champion of the iconic reality TV cooking competition. The Season 10 winner stepped into Padma Lakshmi's shoes as the host of Top Chef last year — and wasted no time proving she was up to the task. Her debut earned her a 2024 Emmy nomination for Best Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program.

Jackson heads to Taylor Sheridan's 'NOLA,' and the rest of today's top stories 'Survivor 50' spoilers: Jeff Probst on the 'competitive, dramatic' first challenge and what the 24 players told him at the marooning Now, as Season 22 nears its spicy finale on June 12, Kish dishes on everything from her favorite moments in the kitchen to her dream guest judges: "My parents! They're the classic Midwest mom and dad—I'd be highly entertained by their commentary.' Plus, she reveals why she's settling into hosting —'The joints are looser, I feel more at ease' — and breaks down what makes Top Chef an unstoppable force in the culinary world. Gold Derby: How was it filming Season 22 in Canada? Kristen Kish: I love filming up north. It's not a drastic departure from the U.S., but I got to use my passport. I love Canada — it doesn't feel that much different. Maybe a little more "Canadian nice," but other than that, it was very familiar. Do you have a dream destination where you'd like to see go next? Korea, Japan, and Australia. You're settled into hosting for your second season — how does it feel compared to the first year? The show itself is a completely well-oiled machine. They have everything taken care of. I think for me, it feels more familiar this time around. You feel more comfortable. I definitely feel more confident and settled. The joints are looser. I feel more at ease. How has being a former contestant shaped your approach to hosting? It impacts how I communicate with the chefs, but each contestant experiences competition differently — some are excited, others nervous, or insecure. While I can relate to the enormity of the experience and the pressure, my background allows me to approach the chefs with a bit more compassion. I've stood where they are, waiting to hear whether my dish succeeded or failed. What's the hardest part of hosting? Telling someone to "pack your knives." It's hard, especially when the chef knows they've made a mistake before deliberation even starts. That feeling of knowing you didn't perform your best is tough — it's not great to send someone home. But, even if a chef doesn't win, there's hope for success afterward. You just don't know what opportunities await them. Season 21 earned you an Emmy nomination for Best Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program —what was that experience like? I was honored and surprised. It's not everything to be nominated, but it felt amazing to hold the standard that Padma Lakshmi set for so many years. I was thrilled not just for myself, but for the show as a whole—that meant so much more to me than my individual nomination. What happens if a dish contains ingredients you dislike, such as smoked salmon or lamb—how do you judge those? Personal taste doesn't matter. Judging is based on technique: Is the dish seasoned properly? Is it cooked well? Are the proportions correct? Even if a dish contains something I don't particularly enjoy, I eat it—and I can still appreciate the skill and execution behind it. Do you have a favorite dish from your time as host? Oh, yeah. César [Murillo]'s pickle tart from the "Pickle Me This" episode was outstanding. A close second would be Massimo [Piedimonte]'s winning dish from that challenge — it was incredible. Tristen [Epps] also made a mackerel dish with a burnt pickle situation, jus lié — it was amazing. All three of those dishes were absolutely outstanding. You won as a contestant. What's your perspective on its role in the competition? I'm thrilled Last Chance Kitchen exists — it's a great platform for second chances, much like the restaurant industry itself. Sometimes you just have a bad day, and this allows chefs a shot at redemption. As someone who benefitted from it, I know how valuable it is to have that opportunity to prove yourself again. What's one dish you would rather order than cook yourself? Chicken fingers, preferably from the kid's menu. I don't enjoy making them at home; the best ones are always brought to you. Same with meatloaf — my mom's meatloaf is unbeatable, and I've only attempted to make it twice. I screwed it up so badly I just refused to ever do it again. What did you enjoy the most about this season of ? This group of chefs is incredible. It's anyone's game. Each one had such strong, unique points of view in food. From César's wacky concoctions to Tristen's hot streak and Bailey [Sullivan]'s comforting Italian dishes. They were so consistent. It's been an incredible season so far. Why has had such a lasting impact in the culinary world? The show has integrity — it magnifies the beauty of the food industry without focusing on interpersonal drama. It challenges chefs in meaningful ways but mirrors real-life culinary situations. Then there's the "Top Chef effect," where fans seek out chefs' restaurants, and dining scenes transform practically overnight. It's all driven by the fans and the community around the show. Who is your dream guest judge for ? My parents! They're the classic Midwest mom and dad. I'd be highly entertained by their commentary, though I'm not sure how helpful it would be for the chefs. My mom would be terrified, but it's fun to dream about. Top Chef airs Thursday nights on Bravo and is available to stream on Peacock. This interview has been edited for clarity and length.
