For me, it was really exciting because I grew up watching Mission: Impossible when it was a TV show, and then it became a motion picture, and of course, I’ve been watching Tom Cruise for so many years. He’s a gentleman; he’s so nice, friendly, and welcoming. He’s a great actor, and he does all of these amazing stunts, and he really does them himself.”
