During an interview with BBC Radio 1, theTop Gunactor spoke about how all of the crew on the set including him were amazed byHenry Cavill’sperformance inFallout. The actor especially acknowledged the scene when theMan of Steelactor approaches Ethan Hunt and we could watch his full beard.Tom Cruisewent on to describe that the scene even made him jealous and made him think, that it would be awesome if he could also do that:
“The editing room were going, ‘How did you do that, Henry?’ OK, he is so talented that he can do that. I remember the time I saw the take and he did that, I was like, ‘This is awesome! This is amazing.’ I wish I could grow a beard like that. I was like, ‘That happened,”
He further added that no matter how he watches that scene, every time it comes, he gets baffled by that shot:
“But, you had to play it back, and you could play it back in slow motion and I still can’t figure it out. It is the wildest thing,”
Now it can’t be denied that the character of August Walker has been a fan favorite since his first glimpse on-screen but sadly the ending of the movie killed him and thus Henry Cavill’s Mission Impossible journey got limited to only a single project.
