‘Now we’re underwater, huh?’ Fans laugh as Tom Cruise reportedly risks hypoxia for his latest ‘MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE’ stunt

Tom Cruise is a man of many talents, and the whole world knows that. His talents transcend that of a mere mortal, so to speak, which also means that reports of him pushing his boundaries and testing his limits are constantly coming out.

In the latest news, it seems like this man of many talents is seeing how far he can take things underwater (because apparently, doing it on land is no longer thrilling). images of the veteran actor all geared up, and in nothing but briefs, posing underwater for MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: THE FINAL RECKONING is going viral, but mainly because of how long he is staying there.

As reported by Empire Online, the actor revealed that he can only sport his gear for 10 minutes at a time, at the risk of contracting hypoxia, which is when body tissue doesn't get enough oxygen.

“I’m breathing in my own carbon dioxide,” Cruise tells Empire. “It builds up in the body and affects the muscles. “You have to overcome all of that while you’re doing it, and be present,” Cruise notes.

Nonetheless, the internet has been reacting with some silly, albeit hilarious jokes, and we've rounded up all of them to end your day on a lighter note.
