While Cruise may be a worldwide movie star, he’s also “just a guy" who happens to love making movies, according to hisDead ReckoningcostarsSimon PeggandHayley Atwell.
Pegg, 53, toldThe Timesthat Cruise is involved “in every part of a film” — from filling its lead role to helping out on-set caterers. “I just don’t think anybody else can be as arsed as he can,” he told the outlet.
Atwell, 41, added that, similar to his treatment of everyone on a film set, Cruise values viewers and their experience with a movie above all else.
“He doesn’twant to make movies nowto punish an audience,” she toldThe Times. “He doesn’t want films with the message that if you do not understand this, you’re not smart.”
An example of this, Atwell said, was during a script read for aMission: Impossiblefilm — notDead Reckoning Part One— when Cruise told the crew he “didn’t get” a line, which translated to “the audience will not get it," and thus it was cut.

While Cruise famously sends his friends in Hollywooda coconut cake every yearfor the holidays, for hisMission: Impossiblecostars, the actor-producer was even more generous.
Pom Klementieff, who goes head-to-head with Cruise inDead Reckoningas one of the film’s villains, is also a fan of the coconut cake — but another gift was even more addictive.
“I wanted to skydive with him and also the stunt team, but they said that I needed to get my license,” the actress, 37, told PEOPLE. “So when I wrapped the movie, he gifted me, as my wrap gift, the lessons of learning how to skydive.”
“He found a teacher for me and I learned how to skydive and I got my license and we even did jumps together. And now I’m addicted, so that’s my new thing now,” she added.
Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part Oneis in theaters now.
