To promote new movie “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation”

Tom Cruise has no qualms about jumping on couches on daytime TV to show that he’s in love, but he was feeling a bit awkward about having to go on Jimmy Fallon for one of his now-famous Lip Sync Battles.

He did it eventually and even came out the winner, as you can see in the video below. His training for “Rock of Ages” did him good, as also did his experience as an actor.

As is usually the case with these battles, both contestants lip synced 2 songs of their choice that the other didn’t know about, and Fallon crowned the winner at first. Since Cruise was his guest, he obviously deemed him the winner, but not before closing the show with an epic duet, which also included a moment when they serenaded one of the ladies in the audience.

Tom is now heavily promoting his latest “Mission: Impossible” movie, “Rogue Nation,” which opens wide this Friday, July 31.

Compared to other movie promo trails, Tom has been keeping a relatively low profile this time. This is his first appearance on US TV for “Rogue Nation,” but maybe more will come in the following days. They will probably not be as fun as this one, though.

Enjoy!
