“Tom has always gone above and beyond in everything he’s done,” O’Brien — who stars in the film alongside Cruise, 62 — exclusively said Us Weekly while walking the Out100 red carpet in Los Angeles on Wednesday, December 11. “So if you thought that little motorcycle stunt in the last movie was something, this is absolutely terrifying.”
In Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One —the seventh film in the beloved franchise — Cruise drove his motorcycle off the edge of a cliff, flew off his bike and then parachuted to the ground. In preparation for the film’s death-defying scene and pulling it off safely, Cruise reportedly trained with a stunt coordinator Vade Eastwood for months.

“Tom is behind the camera and working with you the whole time.” It’s kind of crazy,” she added. “He’s right there in your face all the time. So I just think it’s great and they’re so passionate about it.”

Many stars boasted that they were on the list to receive the coveted Christmas cake from Tom Cruise. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in November 2019, actress Cobie Smulders revealed that she gets a wonderful holiday gift from Cruise every year. Calling it “the most glorious time of the year,” Smulders explained (…)

Glenn Powell, Jimmy Fallon, Henry Cavill, Kirsten Dunst and they all allegedly received more the so-called “cruise cake”.
