Sydney Sweeney appeared to playfully put Tom Cruise on notice after taking on one of the action star’s most famous daredevil moves.
The 28-year-old actress, who recently drew attention for channeling Wonder Woman icon Lynda Carter, shared a jaw-dropping Instagram video showing herself wing walking on an airplane while it was in flight.
In the post, Sweeney gave a cheeky nod to Cruise, 64, who performed a similar high-risk aviation stunt in last year’s blockbuster Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.
The Anyone But You star was seen standing boldly on the aircraft wing as the plane soared through the sky, captioning the clip for her nearly 26 million Instagram followers: “watch out tom cruise.”
Wing walking is an adrenaline-fueled aviation stunt that involves standing or moving along the top wing of a biplane while it is airborne.
Cruise memorably executed the stunt on a vintage biplane in the final Mission: Impossible film, a spectacle that helped fuel the movie’s global box office haul of nearly $600 million.

Meanwhile, over the weekend, Sweeney put on a busty display in a sizzling new couple’s costume with her boyfriend Scooter Braun.
The actress wore a plunging Wonder Woman outfit that served as an echo of Lynda Carter’s classic 1970s turn as the superheroine.
Meanwhile, the 45-year-old music mogul showcased his own musclebound physique in a skintight Superman unitard as he posed beside his girlfriend.
Sweeney had welcomed a group of loved ones to her Idaho lake house, which she nicknamed ‘Camp Runamuck’ as a place for her family to frolic about freely.
She posted an Instagram album of her latest escapades there with some of her intimates, including videos of them singing such songs as Mamma Mia! by ABBA and Creep by Radiohead during a karaoke session.
The Euphoria bombshell was pictured beaming as she held a tray of shots, and filmed driving a jet ski as a passenger who appeared to be Braun clung to her from behind.
Sweeney revealed last year that the lake house had been in her family for ‘five generations,’ noting that both her mother and grandmother were born there.
When her great-grandparents died, the family sold the property off ‘to another couple,’ she explained on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

In last year’s final Mission: Impossible flick, Cruise famously wing walked on a vintage bi-plane which no doubt helped the film gross an incredible near $600million worldwide during its theatrical run
However in 2022, having firmly established herself as a Hollywood starlet, Sweeney marched up to the home and said: ‘I wanna buy back my great-grandma’s house.’
Sweeney’s lake house was originally constructed in 1937 and is currently in her mother Lisa’s name, according to records obtained by Realtor.
Her latest getaway to the Idaho vacation home comes after she and Braun performed volunteer work in her hometown of Spokane, Washington, amid devastating wildfires she said had impacted members of her own family.
Sweeney and Braun had been bringing food to firefighters and helping prepare and distribute meals to those affected by the fires, according to TMZ.
The pair volunteered with Second Harvest Food Bank in Spokane and World Central Kitchen.
Sweeney was also seen buying groceries and working with restaurants in the area to secure food and shelter for residents who have been uprooted from their homes, a source told the publication.
The Euphoria star has also reportedly made generous donations to a number of relief organizations.
She took to her Instagram Stories with a series of messages as government officials said August 4 that the blaze had scorched more than 10,546 acres and affected at least 700 structures.

‘Spokane has always been home to me,’ the A-list actress wrote on the social media platform. ‘It’s where I grew up, where my family still lives, and where so many of the people and places that shaped me are.’
Sweeney, who’s received Emmy nominations for her work on shows such as The White Lotus and Euphoria, said that ‘the devastating fires have changed countless lives in ways that are hard to put into words.’
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Sweeney for further comment on the story.
Sweeney said that her relatives were among 65,000 people officials estimated were under orders to evacuate their homes, according to USA Today.
‘Thousands of families have lost their homes, their belongings, and places of business, including members of my own family,’ Sweeney said.
The star said that ‘this devastation is something our community has never experienced on this scale.’
Sweeney added that ‘unlike larger cities that often receive an overwhelming amount of national attention and resources, Spokane doesn’t have the same spotlight.’
‘If you’re looking for ways to help, these are four organizations I’m supporting that are on the ground right now helping this community that needs us,’ she said.
Sweeney added links to organizations she said were ‘doing the real work on the ground’ – including Innovia Foundation, SpokAnimal, Watch Duty and Second Harvest.
She noted, ‘Every donation, no matter the size, will help support those affected as they begin the long road to rebuilding.

‘Thank you for standing with my hometown during one of its most difficult moments. Love, Syd.’
Sweeney subsequently reposted a post from the nonprofit Baby2Baby, which indicated it had delivered almost ‘350,000 emergency supplies including diapers, wipes, formula, hygiene products, towels, comfort items and bottles to support children and families displaced by this disaster.’
Sweeney opened up to Harper’s Bazaar Australia three years ago about how her maternal side of the family was from the area.
She said that the 2008 economy crash ultimately led them to move from Spokane to Los Angeles, where she was getting her beginnings in show business.
‘It’s very difficult coming from a small town and a lower-middle-class family, affording two places at the same time,’ Sweeney said. ‘Then the crash happened, and my dad lost his job, and we lost our home.’
‘My parents just made the decision, “Let’s just stay in LA; we don’t have anything holding us back home anymore.”‘
Upon establishing herself in Hollywood, Sweeney said she eventually purchased a house that her great-grandparents once owned.
‘To be able to put memories like that back into our family was very special,’ she told the outlet.

On August 3, officials announced that Spokane resident Aaron F. Farinacci, 37, had been taken into custody and held on $1 million bond in connection with suspicion of first-degree arson, according to the AP.
Farinacci, who denied starting the blaze, had been questioned by authorities twice last year in other fire-related probes, per records in Spokane County Superior Court.
He had previously served about 10 years in prison after fatally shooting his father in Mesa, Arizona in 2010, authorities said.
He entered a guilty plea to manslaughter and aggravated assault in 2012, court records indicated.
