Tom Cruise cut off the oxygen of his co-passenger in aircraft
An old video of Tom Cruise resurfaced on social media and is going viral among fans of the actor. The video is from the 1999 appearance of Mission: Impossible star on the Late Show with David Letterman. In the clip, the actor is seen laughing his gut out as he tells the story about a co-passenger when he was flying an aircraft. Letterman called him out for his irresponsible action.
Cruise told Letterman that he turned off the oxygen mask of a passenger on his plane while they were traveling at a high altitude during a flight. Cruise said there wasn’t enough oxygen in the aircraft to fly at the desired altitude, thus he decided to turn off oxygen from his co-passenger’s mask. He said,
“One time we were flying to Colorado, and I was flying the airplane. We had to go on oxygen, and the winds were better at a higher altitude so we climbed up and I realized that we couldn’t stay at that altitude if I had to descend because I didn’t have enough oxygen.”
“I had a passenger in the back so we figured out you know me and the co-pilot that if we turned off the oxygen of the back guy then we could make it in this altitude.”
Tom Cruise could not complete his sentences as he burst out laughing uncontrollably. He also shared how the male passenger reacted due to the lack of oxygen.
“He was very quiet and he fell asleep. He fell asleep. He slept the whole way,”
Jack Reacher actor recalled the passenger saying,
“My hands are tingling, I slept the whole way. Must have been the way I was laying.”
Cruise claimed that after they landed, the passenger had woken up confused and disoriented.
David Letterman’s reaction to the shocking actions of Tom Cruise
The host of the show David Letterman was visibly shocked by the action of the actor and called him out for risking the life of his co-passenger.
Letterman said,
“Looking at it from another direction isn’t that attempted manslaughter? You just turned a guy’s oxygen off. You’re lucky you’re not doing time, for the love of God.”
Tom Cruise was unbothered by his concerns and continued laughing, unaffected by Letterman’s criticism.
Tom Cruise will be next seen in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One, due to release on 12 July 2023.
