Tom Cruise’s train-travelling style for Mission: Impossible VII is causing some serious double-takes in Norway. TikTok user Tomas Haugland Spangelo posted a wild video of Cruise sitting and balancing on top of a speeding Norwegian train, shot from a car travelling on a road adjacent to the tracks. At one point Cruise, 58, smiles and waves with his feet dangling over the side of the moving train and his hair blowing, as the car passengers howl with glee. “It is he sitting there,” Spangelo wrote in all caps below the video in Norwegian.
