Wow, a real life Scientology Super Hero. He's a movie alright, that whirlwind promotional tour he did for Mission Impossible was impressive.
Here's a few others he's saved:
Super Agility
In March 1996, he came to the aid of an aspiring actress who was a victim of a hit-and-run in Los Angeles, summoning an ambulance, following her to the hospital and then paying her $7,000 emergency-room bill.
Super Sight
Then in August, while sailing the Mediterranean off the island of Capri, Cruise, with wife-at-the-time Nicole Kidman, spotted a sailboat on fire and its five passengers floating on a raft nearby. Cruise immediately sent over his yacht's skiff -- arriving shortly before the sailboat sank. After the incident, Cruise's publicist at the time proclaimed, "If I ever get in trouble, I hope Tom Cruise is nearby."
Super Strength
Later that year, at the British premiere of the first "Mission Impossible," Cruise spotted two young boys getting crushed against barricades by the crowd. Cruise lifted Laurence Sadler, 7, and Christos Tzanetis, 13, to safety. "We are very grateful to Tom," one of the boys' mother said afterwards.
Super Speed
In 1998, Tom rushed to the aid of a woman being mugged in London. The woman in peril, who could have lost nearly $150,000 in jewels, told a local paper after the incident, "Tom was brilliant. He rushed down the road with his bodyguards and chased the attackers away."
The story on the home page about him issuing rules over how the Brits should behave around his daughter is kind of weird though.
