6. Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise’s fascination with doing his own stunts has brought him terrifyingly close to death more than once; nearly lost his head by a sword on a faulty mechanical horse and nearly smashing into a mountain after a parachute failure. Even co-stars like Emily Blunt have joked about almost killing him during wild car chases.
Cruise might be Hollywood’s ultimate action star, but behind the thrill is a man who’s constantly gambling with his life for the perfect shot.
