"I'm running out of altitude, so I have to get back to work."

NEW YORK (Dunya News) - Tom Cruise posted a video clip from his Twitter handle from the set of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning in South Africa to express his gratitude for his fans’ support and wish them happy holidays in the middle of a daring stunt on Sunday.

"Hey everyone," Cruise, 60, began the video. "Here we are over stunning South Africa, where we re filming Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning parts one and two. And I didn t want the year to end without thanking you all for coming out to the theaters and thank you for supporting Top Gun: Maverick."

Dead Reckoning director who was also the Top Gun: Maverick screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie later interrupted the actor as he playfully reminded him to keep his speech short. "Listen, we really gotta roll, we gotta get the shot," McQuarrie, 54, said.

"Where was I?" he asked while free-falling. "Oh yeah. Thank you for supporting Top Gun: Maverick, and thank you for allowing us to entertain you. It truly is the honor of a lifetime."

"I m running out of altitude, so I have to get back to work. We have to get this shot. You have a very safe and happy holiday, we ll see you at the movies," Cruise continued before starting to descend.
