This happened in November 2025, when Cruise flew to the set by helicopter. At that moment, the team was working on a spectacular lightsaber duel, and Levy jokingly suggested that the actor take on the role of cameraman. To everyone's surprise, Cruise agreed.
As a result, the actor found himself in a pond, standing ankle-deep in muddy water, trying to find the best angle for the shot. Shawn Levy noted that Cruise proved to be a true professional, despite the unusual role for him. However, in the process, he likely ruined his expensive shoes.
Fans will be able to appreciate Cruise's work as a cameraman on May 28, 2027, when the premiere of Star Wars: Starfighter takes place, featuring Ryan Gosling in the lead role, along with Amy Adams, Matt Smith, and Mia Goth.
