Amid the buzz for Mission Impossible's latest film, Hayley Atwell, who plays Grace, said there was a stunt of her co-star Tom Cruise that she remembers growing up.
During an interview with Collider, the actress said the stunt was in the first installment, where the megastar hung upside down on the cable.
“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," she said.
But Tom is not the only one doing stunts in The Final Reckoning. Hayley also dipped her toes in the stunt pool.
"During this fight sequence, we came back to it a few times to add a few elements to it,” the 43-year-old told about reshooting a stunt scene on The Tonight Show. “And in this clip, I’m actually eight and a half months pregnant.”
She continued, “I’m serious. Yes. And I have to say, I was taken such good care of. Everyone was so supportive and they were like, ‘Oh, you can sit down, and we’ll have a stunt double do it.’”
“And I was like, ‘No! I’ve worked too hard. Let me do it.’ So I did it, and here it is," Hayley concluded.
