Hollywood is no stranger to stunt doubles who perform dangerous stunts on behalf of the industry’s stars. These individuals are typically selected based on their physical similarity to the actors they’re standing in for, often leading to striking resemblances that can blur the lines between the real stars and their doubles.
This phenomenon emerged when a picture of Tom Cruise’s stunt doubles surfaced on Twitter. The photo, capturing the doubles rejoicing after the filming of ‘Mission: Impossible – Deadly Doom,’ sparked an online frenzy due to the uncanny resemblance between the three.
The compelling likeness between Cruise and his stunt doubles didn’t just cause surprise; it led Twitter users into humorous speculation about a world inhabited entirely by clones of Tom Cruise. The tongue-in-cheek comments ranged from people confessing they initially failed to recognize that none of the trio was the real Tom Cruise to others humorously questioning if it’s the actor himself performing in all those blockbuster films and series.
