Tom Cruise Pulls Off the Impossible in Unbelievable ‘Lip Sync Battle’ With Jimmy Fallon (Video)

“Rogue Nation” actor finds his true calling on the “Tonight Show” as he recreates famous “Top Gun” scene with late-night host

Giving his best performance since he serenaded Kelly McGillis in a bar in “Top Gun,” Tom Cruise dominated the “Lip Sync Battle” against Jimmy Fallon on Monday’s “Tonight Show.”

“Tonight I am facing off against one of the biggest movie stars of all time,” the late-night host announced, before Cruise came out in force.

“My first song has been on the top of the charts all summer long, it’s the song of the summer,” the “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” action star said as he took the mic for The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face.”

Cruise didn’t need any of the costumes or props that have become commonplace on the Spike spin-off show, as he expertly channeled the band with intense facial expressions and slick hand gestures.

Fallon’s attempt at a comeback with the Rolling Stones fell on deaf ears as Cruise dominated the competition.

He went on to recall nights of steamy teenage romantic make-out sessions as he took off his jacket, rolled up his shirt sleeves and jumped into Meatloaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” — flawlessly miming to both sets of vocals.

“You did a one-man duet! I’ve never seen that done before,” Fallon marveled.

The “Tonight Show” host then went on to steal Cruise’s signature song right from under him as Fallon took on the Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” and told the audience “this one goes out to Goose.”

Fortunately, helpful Cruise offered a hand with the backup vocals to recreate the iconic scene from his 1986 role.

“Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” hits theaters on Friday, July 31.

“The Tonight Show” airs at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.

Tom Cruise Has Epic Lip Sync Battle With Jimmy Fallon, Covers Hit Songs by The Weeknd and Meatloaf

By zach johnson • published july 28, 2015 • updated on july 28, 2015 at 11:33 am.

Tom Cruise always gives 100 percent.

That was certainly evident when he agreed to have a lip sync battle with Jimmy Fallon on NBC's "The Tonight Show" Monday. Like John Krasinski and Emma Stone before him, the 53-year-old "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" star proved he's more than capable of challenging the late-night host's skills. In fact, the comedian himself admitted, "I'm facing off against one of the biggest movie stars of all time."

Before it even began, Cruise said, "This is going to be ridiculous."

As was the case with previous lip sync battles, neither the host nor the guest knew which songs their opponent picked to perform. Fallon and Cruise selected two songs each, and Cruise went first. "My first song has been at the top of the charts all summer long. It's the song of the summer. Right, Jim?" he said. "Remember that? It is by the enormously talented The Weeknd and it's entitled 'Can't Feel My Face.'" Cruise was so committed to his performance that even Fallon was seen dancing on the side of the stage. "Come on!" Fallon yelled. "Why am I even trying?"

Fallon admitted Cruise would be "hard to beat," but he still gave it his best shot. "My first song is one of my favorite bands, The Rolling Stones. This song is called 'Undercover of the Night,'" he said. Mick Jagger would be proud of Fallon's moves.

Before Cruise performed his second song, he asked, "What can I do now?"

That's when The Roots played the opening bars to Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll." Cruise slid over to the microphone, "Risky Business" style, as Fallon stared at the actor in disbelief. "That wouldn't be fair, would it?" Cruise asked. The comedian pleaded, "Please do not do that! That would not be fair! Please!"

Cruise removed his suit jacket, but alas, he did not strip down to his briefs.

"No, that wouldn't be fair," he conceded. "So look, instead I'm gonna do something that takes me back to high school, the parking lot, on Friday night. Those Jersey girls would sing all the lyrics. Do you mind holding my coat for me? And the guys would just sit there and sweat, hearts pounding. This is for all those Jersey girls on the hot summer nights. It's by Meatloaf. It's called 'Paradise by the Dashboard.'"

Needless to say, it was a killer rendition. "Wow, that was awesome!" Fallon told Cruise. "You did a one-man duet! I've never seen that before!"

For his final song, Fallon asked Cruise for some help in lip syncing The Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Loving Feeling." The actor happily obliged, and together, the two even serenaded one lucky audience member.

"Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" is in theaters Friday.

Tom Cruise Can't Feel His Face In This Intense Lip Sync Battle

This is not the greatest lip-syncing performance of Tom Cruise 's life, because that honor will be reserved, forever, obviously , for his underpants-clad rendition of "Old Time Rock and Roll" in "Risky Business."

But this one is still a close second.

Cruise was on "The Tonight Show" Monday (July 27) to promote the latest "Mission Impossible," where he took the stage opposite Jimmy Fallon in a battle to see who gave better lip.

The actor did an emotional rendition of The Weeknd's "I Can't Feel My Face," and an energetic rendition of Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," but we're gonna go ahead and say that he won the compteition on Jimmy's turn, when it turned out that a lady in the audience had lost that lovin' feelin'.

Whoooooaaaaa-oh-oh-oh OHHHHHHH .

Watch Tom Cruise Lip Sync ‘I Can’t Feel My Face’

he can’t feel his face when he’s with you

Hot off the heels of some of the best reviews of his career , Tom Cruise showed up on The Tonight Show last night, and you knew that whatever competition Jimmy Fallon had lined up for him, the super competitive Cruise would go hard . That was exactly the case when Fallon, wishing for his own funeral, challenged Cruise to a lip sync battle.

The whole thing was pretty alright—a little too many oldies for our taste—but it hit sublime levels when Cruise pretended to sing The Weeknd's unstoppable hit, "I Can't Feel My Face," which he correctly referred to as the song of the summer. The performance was pretty impressive given that Cruise probably heard the song for the first time one hour earlier in his dressing room. But you don't become one of the biggest movie stars of all time, as Fallon introduced him, without being able to pretend you're down with the cool kids.

Tom Cruise scorched The Tonight Show stage Monday night during an epic “Lip Sync Battle” that left host Jimmy Fallon wide-eyed and slack-jawed. The Mission Impossible actor’s turn was so good, he at one point relegated Fallon from the role of host to glorified coat rack.

Cruise kicked off the game with a rendition of The Weeknd’s summer smash, “I Can’t Feel My Face,” that was so sultry and smooth its creator offered this praise on   Twitter , “I can’t believe @TomCruise is singing my song. @jimmyfallon you’re the MAN for this one… that shit got me hype… lol I can’t lie.”

The Weeknd was an equal opportunity praiser, tweeting  to rival host Jimmy Kimmel, “you’re still my boy too.”

The kind words were ultimately deserved as Fallon settled into his rendition of the Rolling Stones’ “Undercover of the Night.” Already well-versed in mimicking Mick Jagger’s mannerisms , Fallon pursed his lips and strutted like a frantic peacock, but had to nix the frontman’s ostentatious hand claps due to his bandaged finger .

Come for the Torture, Stay for the Poetry: This Might Be Taylor Swift's Most Personal Album Yet

Taylor swift unveils double album ‘the tortured poets department: the anthology’, dickey betts, allman brothers band singer-guitarist, dead at 80, taylor swift’s new album opens with a stevie nicks poem.

For his follow-up, Cruise feigned the most obvious selection, Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll.” He even slid up to the mic to the opening piano stabs like he did in Risky Business , before grinning at Fallon and admitting, “That wouldn’t be fair, would it?” Instead, Cruise made Fallon hold his jacket while he performed Meat Loaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” with the melodramatic theatricality — hands to the heavens, down on his knees, the mic stand haphazardly discarded several feet away  — only a trained actor could muster.

Fallon essentially ceded the contest after that, but rules are rules, and the host dutifully performed his final song, the Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” — the second most obvious choice from the Cruise oeuvre . Fallon fittingly dedicated the song to Goose from Top Gun and insisted Cruise join him. The pair then proceeded to croon the track and compete for the charms of a lucky lady in the front row, alternately kissing her hand, blowing her hair and rubbing her face.

The weeknd got excited about the performance on twitter..

Jimmy Fallon brought out Tom Cruise last night for the latest Lip Sync Battle on The Tonight Show . The famous actor’s initial song choice showed that he’s been keeping his ear to the ground—or at least turning on pop radio every now and then. “My first song has been at the top of the charts all summer,” Cruise noted. “It’s by the enormously talented the Weeknd .” Then he launched into a rendition of “Can’t Feel My Face,” hunching over the microphone and staring into the camera with his trademark intensity.

The Weeknd was thrilled to see Cruise honoring his song on national television. “Can’t believe @TomCruise is singing my song,” he wrote on Twitter. “That shit got me hype.” You can see the rest of his enthusiastic tweets below.

Tom Cruise faces off against Jimmy Fallon in amazing lip-sync battle

Sure he can act and even do his own high-flying stunts , but can Tom Cruise beat Jimmy Fallon in a lip-sync battle?

That was the question when the two men faced off on "The Tonight Show" Monday night. And the answer? Well, it came in the form of a few amazing and hilarious turns at the mic.

The actor kicked things off with The Weekend's "Can't Feel My Face," complete with backlighting, intensity and one sexy spin.

And while Fallon asked "Why am I even trying?" before taking the stage for a version of The Rolling Stones "Undercover of the Night," he actually did have moves like Jagger.

But then it happened ... those first few recognizable notes from Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll" played and Cruise slid across the stage, reminding the cheering audience that he was a master of lip-syncing long before this battle .

Alas, the "Mission: Impossible" star took pity on Fallon and put the "Risky Business" maneuvers on hold.

You'll have to watch their second round of performances to see who won: Cruise or Fallon — or the audience member who found herself serenaded by both men!

See even more from Cruise when "Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation" hits theaters Friday.

Watch as Jimmy Fallon learns a lip-sync battle with Tom Cruise is risky business

On Monday, it was more of the same as Fallon was forced to lip-sync battle Tom Cruise in front of a live studio audience.

Okay, enough with the sarcasm. Everything we’ve mentioned so far sounds awesome, and Fallon’s battle with Cruise was just as epic as you might imagine.

• This 2017 Tom Cruise thriller is the most popular movie on Netflix. Here’s why you should watch it

It started off with Cruise’s sensual rendition of The Weekend’s Can’t Feel My Face, to which Fallon responded with a pitch-perfect Mick Jagger impression, belting out The Rolling Stones’ Undercover of the Night.  

Round 1: Fallon

But then Cruise got frisky — and even threatened to get risky.

As the first few notes of Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll” played, Cruise slid across the floor, cradling the mic stand … but then took pity on his opponent. “That wouldn’t be fair would it?” Asked Cruise. “Please do not do that,” Fallon replied “that would not be fair.” Busting out a reprisal of one of the most famous moments in the history of lip-syncing could certainly have been considered cheating, so Cruise went with a Meat Loaf classic instead, revving up the crowd with Paradise by the Dashboard Light.

Round 2: Cruise

Since Fallon seemed to know he couldn’t beat ‘em after Cruise crushed his second song, there was only one thing left for the comedian to do.

Fallon joined his opponent for a stirring, harmonious rendition of The Righteous Brothers You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feelin’ and the two actually knelt down to serenade an unsuspecting (and thoroughly embarrassed) fan.

The Tonight Show host continues to make late-night television loads of fun and seems to have a knack for getting even the most image-conscious celebs to let their guard down. We’re excited to see who will step into the ring with Fallon next.

For most movies, the only cut that we get the chance to see is the one that's released in theaters. Sometimes, a Blu-ray release will include some deleted scenes, but it's rare for those scenes to be reintegrated into the film. On some rare occasions, though, we get a chance to see what a director would have done with a movie if they had been granted final cut. Usually, these director's cuts come from some of the best directors ever to work in Hollywood, and they're sometimes even directorial debuts.

Sometimes, these director's cuts aren't that different from the theatrical versions, or it turns out that those cuts are actually worse than the ones we saw in theaters. Other times, though, we get cuts that are genuine improvements on the original film.

Somehow we missed the time when Tom Cruise appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, shocking the audience with his impressive pop star performance.

The Top Gun: Maverick actor went all out in 2015, taking part in the ‘Lip Sync Battle’ segment of the show, and doing a freaking fantastic job of it.

He mimed along with The Weeknd’s ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ followed by Meat Loaf’s ‘Paradise by the Dashboard Light’, and it is clear how impressed everyone was by his rendition.

Even The Weeknd was enthralled:

can’t believe @TomCruise is singing my song. @jimmyfallon *** you’re the MAN for this one. #tomcruisetomcruise ||| https://t.co/xVFZSkYCCx — The Weeknd (@theweeknd) July 28, 2015

Enjoy the full segment:

He may be lip-syncing, but Tom can actually also sing, notes Smooth Radio :

He’s belted out the likes of ‘Great Balls of Fire’ in Top Gun, ‘Free Fallin” in Jerry Maguire and ‘Addicted to Love’ in Cocktail. And of course, in 2012, he starred as stadium rock legend Stacy Jaxx in the musical Rock of Ages, where he convincingly performed various ’80s anthems like ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’ and ‘Pour Some Sugar on Me’.

There is not much this guy can’t do.

He’s even pretty decent as a deep fake.
