Jimmy Fallon & Tom Cruise Play 'Face-Breakers' On Tonight Show - Smashing Good Fun?

  • 06 June 2014

"So we'll be throwing footballs at that wall of glass with our faces on it," are words any average person would never think they would say. But not if you're Jimmy Fallon who challenged Tom Cruise, during his Thursday (5th June) night show, to a game of "Face-Breakers".

Jimmy Fallon was less successful than his acting counterpart.

Fallon started off fairly poorly, throwing his ball through his own face on his first - and second - go. Fallon did improve on the third round, with a little encouraged from Psy's 'Gangnam Style' and successfully smashed through a Cruise panel.

I think we all know who won. Cruise of course! The actor successfully hit 6 of the 16 panels and, in addition to Fallon's two own goals, rid the board of Fallon's face altogether. Fallon meanwhile, had made a brave effort and hit a number of his opponent's panels during the speed round, but ultimately was left with three Cruise panels intact.

Cruise was on the show promoting his latest film, Edge of Tomorrow, which is released in US cinemas today (6th June) and is already out in UK cinemas.
