According to a couple of move web sites, action man actor Tom
Cruise is going to attempt Everest once he's finished filming Mission
Impossible III.
Cruise,
who is known for preparing meticulously for his roles and likes to do
his own stunts, started climbing as preparation for the opening
sequence of the original Mission Impossible film and has since become
a bit of a rock jock in his spare time.
Now it seems he want to tackle the biggy. According to reports,
the actor says "Every little boy's dream to climb Everest. I believe
I can make that dream become a reality."
The $50,000 odd cost of the expedition would be peanuts to Cruise
who probably earns enough from one film to buy most of Nepal, but we
can't decide whether it's life imitating art or art imitating life
or, erm, well, it's 'mission impossible' isn't it? Let's hope he can
tell the difference.
