The 45-year-old simply can’t fathom how he is a sidekick to Tom Cruise, 53, in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.
I never imagined being in one let alone three
“It’s interesting how my character has grown over the last three Mission: Impossible films, especially as I never imagined being in one let alone three,” says the Shaun Of The Dead star.
“To be playing a guy ‘in the field’ with Tom is something that has left me pinching myself. This is the kind of thing you grow up dreaming of. Quite how I got here, I don’t know.”
