A chilly reception! Tom Cruise breaks the ice at the Taiwanese premiere

Earlier in the day he was cooking dumplings, but now Tom Cruise flexed his action hero muscles to break the ice at the Taiwanese premiere of Oblivion... literally.The movie star was joined onstage by beautiful co-star Olga Kurylenko, where the pair were given a mallet each to go to town on some 'O' shaped ice sculptures.
With wide smiles on their faces, it was clear Tom and Olga were having a smashing time.

Oblivion's director Joseph Kosinski also took up a hammer, taking aim at the frozen sculptures with reserved delight.
 
But even though Tom wore sunglasses, he couldn't hide the enjoyment on his famous face.
Handling the steel weapon as though it was Mjölnir, the actor bludgeoned the ice with all the thundering power of Thor.

As the ice crumbled beneath the actors' powerful swipes, soon Tom and Olga raised their hammers in victory, beaming out at the gathered crowd in Taipei.
But while Tom looked laid back in a simple black jacket, jumper and jeans, his French co-star looked positively majestic.
Olga stood out in a varnished mahogany and gold mini-dress, that looked as futuristic as the movie she was promoting.

Oblivion is the latest sci-fi adventure co-written, produced and directed by Kosinski which is based upon his unpublished graphic novel of the same name.
Set in the not too distant future of 2073, Tom Cruise plays a former Marine commander named Jack Harper stationed on a fallen Earth that suffered from the attack by an alien invasion 60 years earlier.

But when Jack comes across Olga's enigmatic stranger who crash lands in a downed spacecraft, everything he thought he knew about Earth's near-destruction and life as he knows it.

Also starring Morgan Freeman and British actress Andrea Riseborough, Oblivion will hit UK screens on April 10th.
