Tom Cruise’s injury, Henry Cavill’s difficulties… The not very glorious backstage of Mission Impossible: Fallout

As you probably know, Tom Cruise insists on doing most of his stunts himself. Although the actor is extremely competent, he sometimes gets injured… Unfortunately, that’s what happened on the set of a stunt in London where he had to jump between two buildings. Tom Cruise suffered a double fracture in the ankle, which required a break from shooting for seven weeks. As for Henry Cavill, who plays August Walker, the CIA’s most effective killer in the film, he confided that the stunts were much more difficult than those as Superman. In addition, his filming conditions were particularly trying, as the showrunner revealed: “The poor guy participated in all the scenes shot in the most grueling conditions, including the freezing cold, and without much clothing on his back. In particular, he found himself aboard a helicopter with an open door which moving at 160 km/h, 2000 meters above a glacier in the heart of the New Zealand winter, or hanging from a 600 meter high cliff in Norway.
