Vanessa Kirby was amazed by Tom Cruise's discipline on set of 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout': 'You really have to step up'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After Vanessa Kirby's stellar debut as the black market arms dealer Alanna Mitsopolis in 'Mission: Impossible – Fallout', the 35-year-old actress is all set to be back alongside Tom Cruise's IMF Agent Ethan Hunt in 'Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One'.
While filming 'Fallout', Kirby was awed to witness the highly energetic approach of the 'Eyes Wide Shut' actor and decided to do a few of her own stunts after getting inspired by the actor's work ethic.
What did Vanessa Kirby say?
"It was really amazing having Tom's guidance and watching him do all the choreography," Kirby told Entertainment Weekly. "I remember there was one sequence where I was like, 'Oh my God, I'm literally working with a master.' I didn't feel like I was in some green-screen CGI action movie." Kirby also stated that during her time on 'Fallout', her job was not only limited to playing her role but to also show the same level of commitment as Cruise does in his movies.
The British actress credits Cruise for learning the amount of discipline required while filming a 'Mission: Impossible' film. "You have to meet him at his level, otherwise ...," Kirby said with a laugh in the interview. "You really, really have to step up, to be enthusiastic and on it and utterly professional. It's quite amazing to see him so disciplined and everybody so disciplined. I'd heard that about him but to actually do it was really true. Watching him taught me loads about discipline."
Tom Cruise's insane stunt works in his films
Tom Cruise, who is widely known for pulling off daring stunts which probably other actors do not even dream of, showed off his incredible HALO Jump from 25,000 feet in the air in 'Mission: Impossible – Fallout'. His other antics in the movie include climbing a rope to a flying helicopter, which he eventually takes control of. However, not every time things go according to plan, as the 60-year-old revealed that he was injured while filming 'Mission: Impossible 6'.
The actor fractured his ankle after leaping from one building to another during a chase scene. He even showed BBC talk show host Graham Norton behind-the-scenes footage of the injury which unfortunately happened. However, Cruise's never dying attitude and utmost dedication did not hold him back from pulling himself onto the ledge of the building, and kept running.
Kirby initially thought that Cruise was not going to perform all the stunts by himself
Kirby told the outlet she did not think that Cruse was going to pull off all the stunts alone by himself. But later all her doubts were removed when she witnessed the star's performance firsthand. "Tom does everything. I didn't really think he did until actually seeing him in person doing it all! And that is quite amazing — I don't know any other human being on the planet that does that to the extent that he does," the actress told. "You can talk about it and say, 'Oh, you know, Tom Cruise does his own stunts,' but to actually see a human being do the things that he does, it's just next level, really."
