Tom Cruise, 61, shows off his muscle-bound physique in a skintight top as he lands at a London Heliport to film Mission: Impossible 8

Tom Cruise looked pale in a tight black top on Tuesday as he landed at London Heliport in Battersea to continue filming Mission: Impossible 8.

IMF agent Ethan Hunt, 61, looked stylish in black sunglasses as he tried to protect his hair from the wind at London’s only licensed heliport.

Tom kept warm in a black hat, which he pulled over his ears, and wore tight-fitting dark blue jeans.

He completed his outfit with a new pair of white Nike sneakers and smiled as he left the heliport.

Feeling warm, Tom decided to carry his navy blue padded jacket in one hand and strolled past an ambulance.

The Top Gun star risked tripping over his black backpack which he kept low and on just one of the arms.

Tom was last seen filming in April, closing roads just steps from Downing Street.

Dramatic scenes hinted at trouble for Impossible Missions Force agent Ethan Hunt as the actor was seen kneeling in surrender on the road.

Filming of the British scenes of the eighth installment of the Mission Impossible franchise initially took place between March and December 2022.

Production resumed soon after, but was suspended in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Filming resumed in March 2024, but came to a halt again in May, reportedly due to a faulty gimbal (a camera aid). It has since restarted.

Mission Impossible 8 was originally intended to be filmed back-to-back with Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which grossed over half a billion at the box office.

Without the strikes, MI:8 would have reached fans by the end of the summer: the planned release date is now May 23, 2025.
