Comparing himself to the Top Gun star, Smith talked on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon about the heavy toll of filming your own stunts.
“I started [filming the movie], and I told myself that I was doing all of my stunts. Tom Cruise was just hanging on the side of an airplane at 50. I was like, ‘Man, I am better than Tom Cruise.’ I did like two stunts, and I was like ‘I’m not better than Tom Cruise.’”
