Tom Cruise keeps pigeons off 'Mission: Impossible 8' set with THIS hack

Tom Cruise came up with a smart hack to keep pigeons off the set of Mission: Impossible 8.

The 61-year-old actor has been spotted several times in the UK in the past months as he is currently filming the eighth installment of his iconic film franchise.

A source told The Sun that Tom came up with a unique trick to keep pigeons off the scenes as London is home to three million pigeons and tend to get in the way of his shooting.

The action star reportedly “hired hawks,” which act as predator birds, to stop pigeons from ruining his thrilling sequences.

“It was a clever move and meant the scenes were filmed without a hitch,” the insider shared.

The update comes after Tom was seen shooting a fighting scene in London's Trafalgar Square on Sunday.

The untitled film, which will most probably be called Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two, is scheduled to come out on May 23, 2025, after the last chapter came out in July last year.

MI:8 was supposed to hit cinemas this summer, but production had already been delayed due to the Hollywood writers' strike.
