The cast of “Mission: Impossible 7” praised Tom Cruise for his efforts and willingness to take risks to get the most beautiful and valuable footage.
In an interview with E! News , Simon Pegg – the actor who plays special agent Benji Dunn in the Mission: Impossible series – said he has worked with Tom Cruise since part 3 of the action franchise in 2006. For him, Cruise is a “1-0″ character. -2”.
“Tom directs from top to bottom and inspires those around him. There is no one like Tom, he is the last movie star of the old action genre,” Pegg shared.
When he first came to Hollywood and met Cruise, Pegg was impressed with his openness and sincerity. He saw the good side of Cruise, far different from what the media said. “He made me feel welcome. Tom was relaxed and generous,” Pegg recalls.

Pegg has been friends with Cruise for more than 17 years. To him, Cruise is an extraordinary man and tries his best for the audience. Pegg admired his friend for always risking his life to get the most beautiful and valuable footage.
Once said to be in love with Cruise during filming, Hayley Atwell (as Grace) still freely shared about the male lead. She praised Cruise for his professionalism, bringing a sense of safety to his co-stars when performing extremely risky scenes.
Meanwhile, Vanessa Kirby was inspired by Cruise’s fierce spirit. She is still afraid and haunted by the scene of a motorcyclist jumping off a cliff. The actress plays arms dealer Alanna Mitsopolis in part 7 of Mission: Impossible.
