During the conversation, Cruise addressed a rumor that co-stars were not allowed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lori-lightfoots-texts-reveal-nasty-combative-interactions-dont-come-to-me-for-s\/\" title=\"Lori Lightfoot's Texts Reveal Nasty, Combative Interactions: 'Don't Come to Me for S***'\">make eye contact<\/a> with him, a claim that McQuarrie debunked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Simon Pegg, who has appeared in multiple \u201cMission: Impossible\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/celebrities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">films<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, also chimed in, describing Cruise as a fun and outgoing individual. Pegg revealed that during breaks from filming \u201cDead Reckoning Part One,\u201d the 61-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/media-shocked-gina-carano-fought-back-as-her-movie-deal-with-daily-wire-goes-viral\/\" title=\"Media Shocked Gina Carano Fought Back As Her Movie Deal With Daily Wire Goes Viral\">action star<\/a> took the cast go-karting and zip-lining, adding an element of adventure to their time together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019ve managed to unravel all the peculiar myths that surround him,\u201d Pegg continued. \u201cOn one hand, he&#8217;s Tom Cruise \u2014 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mission-impossible-director-recounts-weirdest-tom-cruise-story-he-ever-heard\/\" title=\"'Mission: Impossible' Director Shares Strangest Tom Cruise Tale\">enigmatic film star<\/a> everyone is curious about. On the other hand, he&#8217;s just a regular guy.

However, Pegg does playfully tease Cruise about his fame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe joke about it,\u201d Pegg shared. \u201cI mean, I always make fun of him for it, you know, about the things that he can do. We were recently filming on a mountain in South Africa when he suddenly decided he wanted to swim with sharks. He flew us in a helicopter to a seaside location, and we ended up diving with sharks. At the end of the day, we said, \u2018That was a true Tom Cruise kind of day.\u2019 He appreciates the absurdity of it all sometimes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMy relationship with him is simple and friendly. It has always been effortless,\u201d Pegg added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhen you meet the person behind the veil of mythology, it&#8217;s a different experience. He thrives on the fame and it fuels his drive. Personally, I don&#8217;t think I would handle it well. It would be overwhelming and make me want to retreat. I&#8217;m content where I am.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMission: Impossible \u2013 Dead Reckoning Part One\u201d hits theaters on July 12.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMission: Impossible\u201d director Christopher McQuarrie revealed that Tom Cruise shared the strangest story he had ever heard.
