Sydney Sweeney is not afraid of heights. The“Euphoria”actress posted a video Monday of herself standing on top of a yellow biplane as it flew through the sky, and then the plane rolled upside down. She stayed attached and smiling the entire time, wearing safety goggles and a red vest. Her caption?“Watch out Tom Cruise.”
The official Top Gun Instagram account responded with“Feel the need for speed,”and fans flooded the comments praising her bravery. Some even suggested she’s ready for a Mission Impossible role. Cruise performed a nearly identical biplane stunt in the 2025 film“Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,”and previously said the experience almost broke his back and caused him to lose consciousness during filming. Sweeney made it look easy by comparison.
Cruise hasn’t publicly responded to Sweeney’s challenge yet, but the internet is already debating who would win in a stunt-off. It also raises a fun question for all of us: would you ever try something that terrifying if you knew you were safe? Let us know in the comments.
