Hayley Atwell heaps praise on Tom Cruise's work

Hayley Atwell has just heaped praise upon praise over Tom Cruise’s work ethic.

During an interview with Collider.com, the Hollywood actress candidly discussed her experience filming with the Mission Impossible – Final Reckoning’s co-star too.

In the movie, Grace, played by Atwell, joined Ethan Hunt’s team who work for a secret government agency to stop a harmful AI, which has a potential to destroy mankind, before it reaches enemies' hands.

"We filmed Grace's first-ever introduction in the second film, so her first appearance in the movie is the last thing that I shot,” the Agent Carter actress said.

"I remember that day, Tom had said, 'Movies are not something I do, it's who I am.' And I could see that. I saw that every day for five years. He lives it and breathes it and has devoted his life to it.”

"To work with someone with that kind of work ethic is remarkable," the 43-year-old actress noted.

Referring to Cruise’s stunt of 1996 Mission Impossible in which he was hanging upside down on cable, she concluded, “Probably the vaults in the first one. Yeah, that's the one I remember the most growing up. It’s quite iconic, so I'd like to give that a go."

Hayley Atwell and Tom Cruise starrer in Mission Impossible – Final Reckoning was released on May 21, 2025.
