Pegg’s friendship with Cruise, 59, began in 2006 when they shotMission: Impossible IIItogether.
“He likes me because I make him laugh,” Pegg said.
“I’ll pull him up on stuff and I can be frank with him.
But he’s still Tom Cruise.
When you’re on set, he’s the boss.”
Even Cruise’s bad moods usually have a reason behind them, Pegg said.
Pegg has watched his friend deal with being in the public eye for years.
He understands that’s the price for the level of movie star he is.
He’s perhaps the only movie star left."
Mission: Impossible IIIwas Pegg’s first outing as IMF Tech Benji Dunn.
“We train together a lot of the time,” Pegg said.
“And yes, Tom called me Six-Pack Pegg.
He thought it was funny.
I didn’t mind.
At 48, I was quite pleased that I was able to locate my abs again.”
Cruise and Pegg will be back in action next year inMission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One.
