Watch Video: Tom Cruise rides BMW R nine T on the streets of Paris in Mission Impossible: Fallout

The 56-year-old star, Tom Cruise did a motorcycle chase sequence in the heart of Paris for Mission Impossible: Fallout. He has done several like chase sequences like the one in the last film, riding a BMW S1000RR in Morocco, and in one of the earlier films riding a Triumph Speed Triple.

But this time Cruise performed the chase sequence himself, without even basic safety gear, like a helmet.

"I spent a lot of time training for the motorcycle stunts," said Cruise in the video. "We had a safety rig for this challenging shot, and that rig just didn't work. So, I said, we gotta roll, we gotta go, and we gotta shoot. I said, put the camera and get the pursuit, and I'll come around this corner as fast as this bike could possibly go."

In  behind the scenes video released by BMW Motorrad, writer and director Christopher McQuarries says the chase sequence around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris was "infinitely more dangerous, infinitely more challenging than the sequence in Rogue Nation."

In the latest instalment, called 'Mission Impossible: Fallout', Cruise rides a BMW R nine T on the streets of Paris, where he is chased by police on bikes and cars. Cruise rides around the Arc de Triomphe against the traffic in what is indeed a dramatic motorcycle chase sequence, which ends with him crashing into a car.
