Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's just Tom Cruise parachuting off a cliff. The "Mission Impossible" star, 59, surprised some hikers when his helicopter landed near their walking trail in England’s Lake District.

Cruise exited the chopper with a few other people and then proceeded to parachute off a nearby cliff.The actor was apparently practicing for a stunt.

The hikers spoke to The Sun and admitted the encounter left them "totally flabbergasted." "I certainly wasn’t expecting to bump into Tom Cruise during my hike," Andras Katica said.  "But he was really friendly and offered to have his picture taken.

He looked like he was having a great time but was also clearly involved in some serious work for the filming," the hiker said.
