Tom Cruise’s Midnight Misadventure: The Secret Behind His Sleep-Climb of the Burj Khalifa
Ever had one of those mornings where you wake up bleary-eyed and have to ask yourself: “Wait, why am I dangling from the world’s tallest skyscraper in my PJs, and where the heck did my other slipper go?” Yeah, me neither—but for Tom Cruise, apparently, that’s just another Wednesday. Sometimes I wonder if he’s really an adrenaline junkie, or if all these impossible stunts are just his way of sleepwalking through midlife. Maybe hustling up the Burj Khalifa was Tom’s subconscious flexing, determined to make us all feel lazy for struggling with the stairs. I mean, honestly—what do you even dream about after a night spent scaling steel and glass? Next time I lose a sock, I’ll think of Tom, 500 meters above Dubai, banging on windows and looking for a ride, and feel weirdly seen .

DUBAI—Rubbing at his eyes carefully with one hand and murmuring “shit” under his breath as he watched one of his slippers tumble toward the ground over 500 meters below, actor Tom Cruise reportedly woke up Wednesday while sleep-climbing the Burj Khalifa. “Oh, no, not this again,” said Cruise, who tightened his grip on the exterior of the skyscraper and then used his feet to bang on the window as hard as he could in a futile bid to attract the attention of a vacuuming custodian. “Hey! Hello! Can you hear me? Let me in! Oh, well. This certainly explains the dream I was having about being a tiny little ant scaling the leg of a picnic table. At least I have pajamas on this time.” At press time, Cruise was scanning the horizon for landing airplanes in the hopes he could jump onto a wing and hitch a ride back to the ground.
