Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham may remain tight-lipped about the actual plot of the upcoming Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning – Part Two, but she is happy to reiterate her previous kind words about co-star Tom Cruise.

“He’s a fabulous person, great to work with,” Waddingham told Deadline on the Golden Globes red carpet on Sunday. “It’s hilarious to be fractionally vilified for saying something nice. What have we become if we can’t say something nice? He’s gorgeous, as is Chris McQuarrie, the director.”

Last month, she had said on ITV’s James Martin’s Saturday Morning: “[Cruise] is without doubt one of the loveliest and encouraging, positive and inspiring human beings I have ever met.”

The eighth Mission Impossible installment aside, she is excited to discuss another of her upcoming films, The Fall Guy, which reboots the original 1980s Lee Majors-led television series. “It’s going to be with two cheeky little sausages who are going to be here [at the Globes]: Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling.”

In the film from Universal Pictures, which is set for release on May 3 this year, Gosling will take over the Majors role of stunt man Colt Seavers. Majors will also feature in the cast.

Gosling’s Colt character turns detective to find a missing movie star (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) for whom he once stunt-doubled. Blunt is Colt’s ex-girlfriend and movie makeup artist, while Waddingham is the producer of the star-less movie.

“That was a happy, happy job, this time last year in Sydney,” she said of the shoot. “It was absolutely fabulous. To work with [director and producer] David Leitch and [producer] Kelly McCormick was gorgeous. And spending a lot of days with Winston Duke, what’s not to like?”

Waddingham remains a fan of the original series, as is her brother, she said. “My brother is obsessed. He’s 52 and still watches Lee Majors now. I was so starstruck. [Majors] was like, ‘Do you know who I am? And I was like, ‘Sir. Please.’ It was a real privilege.”

Waddingham was Golden Globe-nominated for Female Actor in a Supporting Role on Television. Elizabeth Debicki ultimately took home the award for her role of Princess Diana on The Crown.
