The Oscar-nominated action star didn't want to let pal Hugh Jackman down after he challenged the entire cast of Mission Impossible 5 to get dunked in freezing water to raise money and awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis through the ALS Association -- so he did it for them!

"Greetings Hugh Jackman and the cast of Pan. Chris McQuarrie and I are here to accept your ALS Ice Bucket Challenge," Cruise announced.

"The entire cast and crew are spread out over three continents but we didn't want to miss the 24-hour deadline so Tom and I are here to take a hit for the team," McQuarrie continued.

"Chris and I are also making donations on behalf of every member of our cast and crew who were lucky enough not to be here today," added Cruise.

Katie Holmes' ex-husband then sat down on a chair, took off his sunglasses and braced himself as eight large buckets of iced water were thrown over him.
