Cavill recalled a memorable moment when Tom Cruise started reciting classic lines from the movie “Top Gun” while the crew was flying in a helicopter in New Zealand. According to him, that moment was really “wonderful” and made the whole crew feel excited, as if they were making a sequel to “Top Gun” right in the sky of New Zealand.
The experience of “Mission: Impossible” with the cast and crew made Cavill feel like joining a big family, where everyone was not only talented but also very friendly, sociable and always created a fun working atmosphere. Especially with Simon Pegg, the two formed a lovely “bromance”, as he humorously shared.
During dangerous action scenes, although he knew he was safe, Cavill admitted that there were times when he felt nervous, especially when he had to hang outside the helicopter at a considerable height. There were times when he couldn’t hear the instructions clearly because his headphones were noisy. He had to guess when to film and start acting without clear signals, making Cavill feel like he was acting “in his head” amid the chaotic sounds.
In addition, Henry Cavill also shared about the process of filming a cold battle scene, hanging outside the helicopter, in the harsh weather of New Zealand. He had to face the numbing cold and needed to find a way to keep warm mentally when his body was almost “frozen”.
In short, “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” is not only an action adventure movie but also a challenging journey and profound experience for Henry Cavill. He was not only impressed with Tom Cruise’s professional working style but also admired his co-star’s absolute dedication to art, turning every moment in the film into an unforgettable memory.
