Overview
- Sweeney posted an Instagram video Monday showing her strapped to the top of a yellow biplane as the pilot performed loops and barrel rolls while she wore a safety vest and goggles.
- Her caption read “Watch out Tom Cruise,” and the official Top Gun Instagram account responded with “Feel the need for speed.”
- News outlets compared the footage to Cruise’s 2025 Mission: Impossible airplane sequence and noted his long record of performing his own aerial stunts.
- Reporters highlighted the visible safety gear in the clip but said there is no public confirmation that the stunt was staged for a film role, with coverage treating the post as a personal adrenaline stunt shared for social media.
- The video follows a summer of high‑adrenaline posts from Sweeney, including a tandem bungee jump with Scooter Braun, and may intensify attention on celebrity stunts and questions about oversight and safety.
