Tom Cruise Reflects on His ‘Mission: Impossible’ Film Series

NEW YORK: Tom Cruise shared his two cents on his Mission: Impossible movies this weekend as he promoted the eighth installment.

The actor, 62, was at the NYC premiere of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning this Sunday, during which he answered some burning questions on the red carpet.

“I gave it my all, and it represents all the effort of everyone involved in that special moment,” he told People magazine.

“I watched it and I really see what it takes to make these movies and what I’ve learned about storytelling in that particular genre,” Cruise added.

When asked if he would change anything about the Mission: Impossible movies if he had to do it all over again, he said no.

Cruise also spoke about Michael B. Jordan’s surprise appearance at the film’s London premiere, where they shared a heartfelt conversation and a hug.

“He’s so talented,” he said on the red carpet. “He’s a great actor. He’s dedicated to his craft. I really respect him.”

“I love seeing people do good things in life,” he added. “I’ve worked so hard to do everything I can to help people, to see them do good things — filmmakers, actors. People know my door is always open.”
