Simon Pegg Worries About Tom Cruise Doing His Stunts 

Simon Pegg said he and his co-stars were concern if Tom Cruise will be okay when performing his stunts. In the next Mission: Impossible film, Tom Cruise will reprise his role as Ethan Hunt and execute several dangerous feats. In the film’s trailers and the making-of documentary shown before IMAX screenings of Avatar: The Way of Water, one of these stunts is a motorcycle parachute leap down a cliff.

During an interview with Deadline at the Rome premiere of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Part One, actor Simon Pegg spoke about how terrifyingly close they were to losing Tom Cruise when filming one of Cruise’s signature stunts. But Pegg assures us that Cruise has always been fine in the end. Learn his thoughts on the topic in the following:

“You know, I’m lucky because Benji just kind of stays behind the computer and he does his thing. Tom is jumping off cliffs on a motorbike he’s hanging his you know, hanging off trains — it’s genuinely dangerous stuff. There’s always a sense that, you know, one day, something might go wrong we might lose Tom, you know. Anytime there’s a big stunt, we all have that sense of, you know, fear, but he always pulls it off.”

In addition to the automobile pursuit through the streets of Rome with Hayley Atwell, Cruise does a number of additional stunts throughout the film. A recently released extra revealed that Cruise drove most of the scenes himself, adding to the realism of the scene.
