Of course the 60-year-old actor doesn't do things by half, there was no way he was sending a thank-you message from his kitchen table.

When you have no fear in the world you simply have to jump out of a plane 😂

The video begins with Cruise sitting inside of a helicopter while preparing for a skydiving scene.

"I didn't want the year to end without thanking you all for coming out to the theaters and thank you for supporting Top Gun: Maverick"

After being interrupted by director  McQuarrie, who told Cruise that “we’ve got to get this shot,” Cruise gracefully jumped out of the helicopter.

“Where was I?” Cruise said, his arms outstretched in the air. “Thank you for supporting ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and (as) always, thank you for allowing us to entertain you. It truly is the honor of a lifetime.”

He goes on to promote Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning - Part One which is set for release next summer. Part Two is planned for the following year.
