Vanessa Kirby Says Her MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 7 Co-Star Tom Cruise Had "No Fear" Riding His Motorcycle Over a Cliff
We all know how famous Tom Cruise is for doing his own stunts on the sets of his action movies. He’s always pushing the limits and going above and beyond for his next project. His upcoming flick Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One is no different, and his co-star has receipts.
Actress Vanessa Kirby, who is reprising her role of The White Widow from Mission: Impossible - Fallout, recently told Variety that she was on set when Cruise parachuted from a motorcycle after riding it off a cliff in Iceland for the eighth installment of M:I.
“He did it many times in one day,” recalls Kirby. “He did it consecutively … and repeatedly so he could capture all the different angles and sides of it.”
If Cruise was nervous, he sure didn’t show it. “He was just so calm,” Kirby says. “He had no fear. He just found it exhilarating. That kind of belief in cinema and what one could achieve and his passion for it is so inspiring. He kind of believes he can do the impossible and then he does…I love being a part of the franchise. I’m really excited to come back.”
Kirby is signed up for at least one more installment. “I would hope they would have me,” she said when asked if she wants to do even more. “My character, I love playing because she’s kind of unusual, strange and fun and ambiguous.”
Dead Reckoning Part One will rush into theaters on July 14th.
