Will Smith on top of the Burj Khalifa, looking like he’s slightly losing his mind. (YouTube)Sitting on a small spire more than 800 metres above the ground would be a nerve-wracking experience for most people.And here ‘most people’ definitely includes Smith, whose smile for his photo looks more like a grimace.The Men in Black star climbed the tower as part of a video on fitness and weight loss. At the top, he appears to be trying to maintain his composure while gripping onto two boxes either side of him.For Cruise however, it’s a very, very different story.The Mission Impossible star – who’s credited for doing his own wild stunts in his films – climbed the tower for a stunt in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.The photo shows him perched on top of the boxes wearing a casual outfit, and barefoot.Not only that, but he was leaning over to one side as though he was casually chilling on the beach.

Tom Cruise on top of the Burj Khalifa, looking incredibly unphased. (X)While he doesn’t appear to be wearing a harness, fact check websites have suggested that he almost certainly is.People took to social media to share their thoughts on the comparison, with one writing: “One is sitting in bare feet and a t-shirt looking as relaxed as possible and the other is draped in harnesses, clinging on for dear life, looking like he’s making peace with God.”A second posted: “I love how Will is all strapped up and hanging on for dear life, but Tom is not only just sitting there, nary a rope in sight, but he’s LEANING.”And a third commented: “Tom looks like he is posted on his front stoop just vibing and Will is the living embodiment of terror.
