Tom Cruise’s ‘Nervous’ Moment Revealed: Simon Pegg Recalls the One Stunt That Got to Him!

Tom Cruise’s ‘Nervous’ Moment Revealed: Simon Pegg Recalls the One Stunt That Got to Him! Simon Pegg, who has played the lovable and often wide-eyed Benji Dunn in the Mission: Impossible franchise since 2006, is no stranger to Tom Cruise’s daredevil stunts. As the actor gears up for what could be the final installment of the beloved series, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (set to release on May 23), Pegg opens up about the jaw-dropping stunts Cruise has performed over the years — and the moments that left him both in awe and, at times, nervous. A Life on the Line for the Audience Cruise, known for pushing the limits with every Mission: Impossible film, has made a name for himself by performing some of the most death-defying stunts in Hollywood history. And according to Pegg, the actor isn’t just performing for the thrill of it, but for the audience, willing to risk his life for their entertainment. “I’ve said, ‘You’re absolutely nuts’ many times to him,” Pegg shares with People in their special Mission: Impossible edition. “But he just cares that much about it.” With each film, Cruise, 62, has continually raised the stakes, from his now-iconic high-flying stunts to his heart-stopping motorcycle jumps. As Pegg says, having been part of the franchise since Mission: Impossible III, he’s seen it all firsthand, and it’s never less than impressive. Hanging Off the Burj Khalifa: A ‘S— Eating Grin’ Moment One stunt that left Pegg in awe was the iconic scene in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011), where Cruise scales the outside of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the world’s tallest building. For Pegg, watching Cruise literally hang off the side of the towering skyscraper wasn’t just terrifying — it was oddly exhilarating. “I remember just leaning out of the window and seeing Tom sort of hanging there, smiling, this big s— eating grin on his face, like, ‘I’m having the best time,’” Pegg recalls. For Pegg, the image of Cruise enjoying the thrill of the stunt with such abandon was both surreal and a bit terrifying, as the actor was risking his life for the audience’s benefit, and there he was, seemingly loving every second of it. The Heart-Stopping Motorcycle Off-a-Cliff Stunt While many of Cruise’s stunts have left fans gasping, Pegg cites the motorcycle-off-a-cliff sequence in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) as one of his favorites. Describing the atmosphere on set, Pegg recalls how the cast and crew watched in suspense as Cruise disappeared off the edge of the cliff, only to wait with bated breath for the sound of his parachute opening. “It was nail-biting,” Pegg says. “Because we’d literally see him just disappear, and then we’d have to wait to hear ‘good canopy’ on the radio.” It was a breath-holding moment for everyone involved — a reminder of just how dangerous and daring Cruise’s stunts truly are. A Moment of Nervousness: The Plane Stunt in Rogue Nation Despite Cruise’s reputation for fearlessness, Pegg recalls one stunt in particular that made the actor visibly nervous: the opening scene in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015), where Cruise clings to the outside of a military plane as it takes off. The sequence, which exposed Cruise to potentially dangerous flying debris, was so intense that it made even the veteran actor question his decisions. “It was the first time I’d seen him nervous,” Pegg says. “There were a lot of variables involved in that stunt… a lot of things that could have gone wrong.” For Pegg, who is usually in awe of Cruise’s fearless nature, witnessing the tension in that moment was a stark contrast to the usual high-octane confidence Cruise exudes. Cruise himself admits that when the plane taxied down the runway, he thought, “Oh, maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.” Yet, once the scene was shot and they reviewed the footage, he was thrilled with how it turned out, especially in how it added to the story. “When we looked at the shot, I was like, ‘Oh, it really works in the story.’” His late mother, however, had a different reaction after seeing the footage. “I’m so glad you didn’t fill me in on that one beforehand,” she told him. Benji’s Role: The Audience’s Voice Throughout these extraordinary stunts, Pegg’s character, Benji, has often been the audience’s stand-in — the one who watches in awe, sometimes terrified, and marvels at Ethan Hunt’s bravery. “It’s fun to play the guy who is almost like a member of the audience,” Pegg says. “To be the one that’s kind of going, ‘This is crazy.’” Benji’s reactions are often our own, reflecting the incredulity we all feel watching Cruise defy death for the sake of cinematic spectacle. The Final Reckoning […]

Tom Cruise’s Heartfelt Tribute to Val Kilmer—His ‘Very Special’ Last Reunion Will Leave You Speechless!

Tom Cruise’s Heartfelt Tribute to Val Kilmer—His ‘Very Special’ Last Reunion Will Leave You Speechless! Tom Cruise has paid a heartfelt tribute to his late friend and co-star Val Kilmer, fondly recalling their emotional on-screen reunion for Top Gun: Maverick. The 62-year-old action icon, who returned as Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in the blockbuster 2022 sequel, described their time together as “beautiful” and “very special,” especially in light of Kilmer’s recent passing from pneumonia complications. Kilmer, beloved by fans as the steely rival-turned-ally Tom “Iceman” Kazansky in the original 1986 Top Gun, made a moving comeback for the sequel despite significant health challenges. For Cruise, the chance to share the screen again with Kilmer was nothing short of a gift. “To come back all those years later, and it was amazing being on set for Top Gun: Maverick because it was like time had not passed,” Cruise told Sight and Sound magazine. “We were laughing and it was joyous.” Cruise spoke with admiration about Kilmer’s ability to slip seamlessly back into the Iceman persona. “He became Iceman. The power that this guy has—even not saying anything, to become that character. You see how even the sniff that he gave… he was Iceman,” Cruise marveled. Their chemistry and the powerful dynamic between Maverick and Iceman was, for Cruise, deeply personal. “It was very special, to say the least, for me personally,” he reflected. “I just tell people… you take Iceman from the first film and you look at it here, that whole journey, he became Iceman. And he didn’t even have to speak.” For Cruise, Kilmer’s performance was more than acting—it was a legacy. “That’s what he’s able to do. Beautiful, really beautiful. A gift that he had and that he shared with all of us,” Cruise concluded. As fans mourn the loss of Val Kilmer, Cruise’s poignant memories offer a reminder of the enduring power of friendship, talent, and the unforgettable magic they created together—both on screen and off.

Tom Cruise Nearly Went Blind Filming ‘Final Reckoning’ Underwater Scene — You Won’t Believe What He Wore!

Tom Cruise Nearly Went Blind Filming ‘Final Reckoning’ Underwater Scene — You Won’t Believe What He Wore! Tom Cruise is no stranger to pushing cinematic boundaries, but his latest revelation about Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning demonstrates just how far he’ll go for authenticity. In a recent appearance on “The Tonight Show,” the action superstar broke down the extreme challenges behind the film’s much-anticipated submarine infiltration sequence—one of the most physically demanding stunts of his decades-long career. Cruise described filming the scene as a “blind” ordeal. “A lot of times I cannot see because of the reflection of the light,” Cruise explained. The intense underwater lighting, needed for camera clarity, bounced off every surface and rendered him virtually sightless as he maneuvered through the murky depths. “So, I would go in, kind of blind, spend a lot of time on the set figuring out [the movement] as we’re figuring out the shots. Then, when I’m doing it, I have a hard time.” If performing such a complex sequence without vision wasn’t enough, Cruise took it to another level by donning a custom diving suit that weighed over 100 pounds when wet. “Plus the suit, when it’s wet, increases in weight by about 125 pounds. So, the kind of workouts and things that I have to do just to prepare for these things, it’s years of development. And yeah, and I’m producing it, so it’s also that kind of thing,” he said, emphasizing the immense physical preparation and mental focus the role required. Cruise’s dedication to realism didn’t stop there. He revealed an additional danger: the risk of carbon dioxide build-up from his diving gear. “I’m breathing in my own carbon dioxide,” Cruise said. “It builds up in the body and affects the muscles. You have to overcome all of that while you’re doing it, and be present.” The effect, he explained, was a physical and psychological challenge—muscles aching, senses dulled—yet he had to remain perfectly focused for the camera. This is hardly the first time Cruise has risked his safety for a Mission: Impossible set piece, but the extended underwater scene in The Final Reckoning may be one of his most ambitious yet. The actor, a four-time Oscar nominee and the film’s producer, insisted on authenticity at every stage, reportedly working for years with trainers, stunt coordinators, and technical teams to prepare for the role. The result? A sequence that promises not just high-octane action, but a glimpse into the near-superhuman commitment Cruise brings to his craft. As the release of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning draws closer, fans can expect not just edge-of-their-seat thrills, but a masterclass in dedication and physical endurance from one of Hollywood’s most fearless stars.
