Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible co-star Simon Pegg described him as an extraordinary guy who risks his life to entertain his audience. Pegg was right considering how cool the Edge of Tomorrow actor is on-screen and off-screen. One of the highest-paid actors in the world, Cruise is often praised for his courteous behavior and his treatment of co-stars and fans.
The Collateral actor has garnered a legion of fans for his action-packed and sci-fi roles earning him a spot at the top of the industry. However, the much-celebrated actor sometimes poses a headache to his security personnel.
Tom Cruise’s Security Team Was Frustrated By The Actor’s One Behavior
Tom Cruise gave nightmares to his film crew when he performed daring stunts without stunt doubles in his action movies. The Jerry Maguire actor’s off-screen stunts can be equally crazy, which becomes a source of frustration for his security team. The Rain Man actor has been known to put on disguises, usually a cap and hoodie, to travel on public transportation.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the Top Gun actor humorously shared how his security team “loves” him for this behavior. Cruise said:
“…I’m ready for whatever’s gonna happen. So I don’t change my life. But look, I like talking to people you know. And as I said I make my movies for them. Yeah, I do go on Transportation. My security loves that when I do that. I do that like sometimes, I put on my hat, my earphones and I’ll just go in and get on the tube just if I want to get to this [place].”
The Vanilla Sky actor further went on to share the story of how one young fan spotted him on the tube in England. The girl was amused that no one else seemed to recognize the actor, however, Cruise gently signaled her not to tell anyone. Cruise revealed that the girl quietly took out her phone, clicked a picture of him, and went on her way.
Tom Cruise Appears At His Movie Screenings In Disguise
Tom Cruise often made appearances alongside audiences in theaters where his movies were screened. The Jack Reacher actor chooses international locations for these public outings. Cruise revealed that he wanted to understand the public perception, and witness how international audiences react to his movies.
It seems like fans celebrate the actor so much, that even small gestures showing him to be a simple man make headlines. In a recent video that went viral, the Magnolia actor was seen ensuring that his colleague entered the SUV before he did, amidst a chaotic scene. Fans were impressed with the 61-year-old actor’s gracious nature.
On the professional front, fans are eagerly waiting for Cruise’s return as the IMF agent Ethan Hunt in the eighth installment of the Mission: Impossible series. This movie also serves as the second part of Dead Reckoning released in 2023. Fans of Tom Cruise’s crazy stunts can catch all the Mission: Impossible movies streaming on Paramount Plus.
