The two actors successfully reached the highest point of the world's tallest skyscraper.
Tom Cruise and Will Smith were both photographed on the tallest building in the world, but people soon noticed a significant contrast between the two famous actors.
The Burj Khalifa, also known as the Khalifa Tower in Arabic, is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It currently holds the title for being the tallest building globally.
Dubai's tallest structure, standing at a height of 829.8 meters, is named after the former UAE president Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Tom Cruise and Will Smith reached the highest point of the massive building, not just the top floor, but all the way to the spire.
The elevator in the building goes up to the 160th floor, but floors 155 and higher are only for maintenance telecoms companies.
Offices are available up to the 154th floor, while the general public can access up to the 148th floor.
Only those with special permission, such as wealthy celebrities like Cruise or Smith, are permitted beyond this point.
And there was one noticeable distinction between the photographs of the two stars up there.

Being perched on a tiny spire over 800 meters high can be very scary for many individuals.
Smith is definitely one of ‘most people', his smile in the photo looks more like a grimace.
The actor from the movie “Men in Black” ascended the tower for a fitness and weight loss video. When he reached the top, he seemed to be struggling to stay calm while holding onto two boxes on either side of him.
Cruise's situation is completely different.
Tom Cruise, the actor known for performing his own daring stunts in movies, scaled the tower as part of a stunt in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.
He is sitting on the boxes in a relaxed outfit, with no shoes on.
In addition, he was also tilting to the side as if he was relaxing at the beach.

Despite not showing any signs of wearing a harness, fact-checking websites have indicated that he most likely is.
People expressed their opinions on social media about the comparison. One person wrote: “One is casually sitting in bare feet and a t-shirt, appearing completely relaxed, while the other is covered in harnesses, desperately holding on, and seems to be accepting their fate.”
Another comment read: “I adore how Will is securely fastened and holding on tightly, while Tom is simply sitting there without a rope in sight, and he's even leaning.”
And another person added: “Tom seems to be chilling on his front porch, while Will looks absolutely terrifying.”
“That's not a smile that's a death grin. He's got 63 harnesses tied to him. Legend says he's still holding those boxes.”
