Excited Cruise signs M:1 theme on set

Tom Cruise was so exhilarated on the first day of filming upcoming movie sequel Mission: Impossible III he began singing the classic TV show's theme song midway through an action sequence.

Tom Cruise was so exhilarated on the first day of filming upcoming movie sequel Mission: Impossible III he began singing the classic TV show's theme song midway through an action sequence.

The 43-year-old's impromptu a cappella performance left his co-star Jonathan Rhys-Meyers more than a little surprised.

Rhys-Meyers says: "The first day of shooting, Tom and I were on this speedboat. That was the first time I met him.

"The next thing I hear is him under his breath: 'Da-da-da-da-da-doodle-do.' He was so excited that he was humming the theme song.

"At first I thought they'd put the soundtrack on to give us more of a buzz. But it was Tom. Singing."
