To do the same, the actor looked up to the Top Gun star and complimented Cruise for his dedication. The actor said, “I mean, he is the guy. In the sense of the type of hard work and dedication that he puts into his craft and his stunts, was definitely motivated me and inspired me to want to do them myself as well.”
The Creed star continued to talk about Tom Cruise’s tremendous work and said, “So I’m all for building stunts and things that I can actually get in there and physically do myself, and also training for them specifically. I mean, he’s got to save some for the rest of us. I mean, because in his career, he’s checked off so many intense boxes and being able to come up with new and creative ways to push the envelope. And that’s why he’s the legend that he is.”
