They\u2019re often once-in-a-lifetime experiences. But you\u2019ll never guess what else these two things share \u2013 sometimes they can happen at the same time! That\u2019s right, there are celebrities who skydive just like the rest of us. And when it comes to famous people skydiving, some of them are even <a href=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/skydiving\/licensed\/\">licensed and experienced<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>It just so happens that Skydive Perris is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/facilities\/film-tv\/in-the-media\/\">famous skydiving places<\/a> that draws in those adrenaline-seeking A-listers. So if you\u2019re wondering what famous people have gone skydiving, read on to peep just six of the 45+ <a href=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/facilities\/film-tv\/in-the-media\/\">celebrities<\/a> who have jumped at Skydive Perris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tom Cruise<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you likely already know, when you see Tom Cruise skydiving in a movie, it\u2019s not a double, it\u2019s actually Tom Cruise! He long ago earned his <a href=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/skydiving\/learn\/\">skydiving license<\/a> so that he can go full send on his own aerial stunts. He even took his airborne hobby\/job one step further and can be seen riding a motorcycle off of a cliff into a <a href=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/blog\/skydiving-vs-base-jumping\/\">BASE jump<\/a> in the 2023 film <em>Mission: Impossible &#8211; Dead Reckoning Part One.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cruise has become somewhat of a celebrity\u2019s celebrity when it comes to skydiving. He\u2019s even responsible for taking James Corden skydiving \u2013 at Skydive Perris, no less. The hilarious video of Cruise sharing the sky with Corden has been viewed more than 60 million times!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tom Cruise Forces James Corden to Skydive\" width=\"565\" height=\"318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G1wsCworwWk?feature=oembed&#038;rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">David Blaine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>David Blaine is, of course, a professional magician and mentalist well known for his mind-bending tricks and antics, but many people don\u2019t know that he\u2019s also a licensed skydiver. How else could he achieve a stunt like his 2020 airborne marvel, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/nUOG68HiluM?si=6ibArSTCs75-EQLt\"><em>Ascension<\/em><\/a>?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blaine actually earned his skydiving license at Skydive Perris in 2002 to prepare for an earlier stunt, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SrSK2V9SiDc\"><em>Vertigo<\/em><\/a>, which concluded with a 100-foot leap into a stack of cardboard boxes. He completed the Perris Skydiving Program in order to learn how to better control his body in the air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere didn\u2019t seem like any better way to learn,\u201d said Blaine.

In fact, the famous \u201cAdios, amigo!\u201d bit is actual footage of Swayze making a skydive with no stunt double!<br><br>What people don\u2019t know is that it was a family affair. It was Don Swayze, Patrick\u2019s brother and an avid skydiver, who brought him down to Perris to show him the ropes. To everyone\u2019s surprise, Patrick got right into it and earned his <a href=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/skydiving\/learn\/\">skydiving license<\/a>. According to his instructor, the star\u2019s athletic and gymnastic ability made him \u201ca natural.\u201d<br><br><em>Point Break,<\/em> and Swayze\u2019s role in it, is often credited with inspiring a generation of skydivers to look to the skies and dream of their place among the clouds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Funny story:<\/strong> One day, when the massively famous Swayze was at the dropzone, he went entirely unrecognized by most of the jumpers.

Now she\u2019s not only a fully-licensed skydiver, but she\u2019s also a Skydive Perris regular.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>With more than 200 skydives in her logbook, Klementieff articulates her passion for the sport in a way we can all relate to: \u201cI love the rush, I love the precision, I love how sharp it makes me.
