Henry Cavill was beyond impressed with his co-star, the 60-year-old Tom Cruise when he starred alongside him in Mission Impossible 6.

“I am officially impressed” &#8211; When Henry Cavill Gave His Badge of Approval to His &#8216;Mission Impossible&#8217; Co-star Tom Cruise

Save Tom Cruise, Hollywood could not produce another action hero that not only
commanded the screen but also had worldwide acclaim for many years. Until, of
course, Henry Cavill [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] came along.
Starting out in a period drama, The Tudors, the actor quickly gained fame for
his impressive physique and looks. But he quickly proved that he isn’t just a
pretty face. He quickly grew into an action star with his roles in Man of Steel,
The Man from U.N.C.LE, and Mission Impossible: Fallout. However, after he worked
with the senior action star, he realized why he was the OG. 

Henry Cavill was touring with his Mission Impossible: Fallout stars to promote
the film in 2018. During an interview with E! News, the Brit revealed his
thoughts about the veteran star. He admitted that he was not easily impressed.
However, when he saw Tom’s dedication to his craft and his doing all the
dangerous students without a double, it just left a big impression on him. He
realized that the 60-year-old had set a bar too high.



It is not news that Cruise can fly. He expertly maneuvered the helicopter in the
mountains during the last fight scene. That scene especially left the
39-year-old stunned. “Watching Tom do these stunts, especially in the mountains
in that helicopter. I just thought, ‘Okay I am officially impressed,'” Cavill
shared in his interview with E! News
[https://www.eonline.com/videos/276079/mission-impossible-stars-expose-the-real-tom-cruise?query=henry%20cavill]. 

The Top Gun star goes the extra mile to learn all the new skills. He takes
lessons and courses for months to prepare for the role. And this has made the
younger actor respect him even more. “And he learns all these skills for these
movies and does them to an elite level. It is remarkable, truly remarkable,” he
added.

TOM CRUISE STOPPED HENRY CAVILL FROM ATTEMPTING THE HALO JUMP

Brimming with excitement, the Superman actor wanted to join Cruise in the C-17.
However, the Enola Holmes actor didn’t go through rigorous practice lessons to
prepare for the jump. 

Cruise made the judgment that it would endanger his as well as his crew’s life.
And Cavill had no choice but to respect his judgment. Well, now we know how he
managed to keep himself alive, right?
