DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Actor Tom Cruise is literally hanging around Dubai as he films scenes for a new movie.
Cruise proved how much he really loves doing most of his own stunts as he dangled almost 2,717 feet in the air from the tallest building in the world.
The actor spent this past weekend filming near the top of the Burj Kahlifa in Dubai for scenes for the fourth “Mission: Impossible” movie, London’s Daily Mail reported.

On Saturday, the actor was photographed hanging from the observation deck of the building, which is 124 floors high, as fans gathered below watched in amazement.
Dressed all in black, the 48-year-old Cruise dashed from window-to-window as the film crew taped the scene from an open window above him.
Cruise is well-known for doing his own stunts in all his movies, especially the “Mission: Impossible” films.
“I love having the camera right there in front of me, where you can see me holding a shot all the way through,” he told The Daily Mail in an interview over the summer. “I think it adds to the excitement for an audience. It’s something that is challenging to do and fun for me.”
“Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol” is slated to hit theaters in 2011.
