There is just no stopping The Cruisester. From jumping on sofas to Missions most Impossible, he is the king of high-octane action and exhuberance.
At 54, he shows no sign of slowing down and is clearly proud of how he made everyone around him throw up during the making of the new Universal action horror.
But it wasn’t the scene with the giant rats, nor was it the moment he woke up in a morgue. Totally naked…
Cruise told Graham Norton and his fellow guests Annabelle Wallis, Zac Efron and Beth Ditto all the gory details.
Crusie said: “I had to convince the studio to let me do it and Annabelle and I had to do the scene 64 times! It took us two days and the crew was flying around and vomiting in between takes.
“You couldn’t train for this. Normally stunts take months of prepping but we just did it. It was wild and I can’t believe the studio actually let me do it!”
Wallis, herself, revealed that she did her best not to imitate the crew.
The actress said: “Can you imagine being cast with Tom Cruise? If you get any job you are excited but doing a stunt with him that he has never done before is just incredible.
“And, not vomiting on him!”
Cruise told the audience that he was drawn to the project because the original versions had terrified him so much a s a small child.
He said: “I loved all the old black and white original horror films… I was about six years old and saw all of them and was so terrified I had to sleep on the floor of my sister’s bedroom.”
Tom Cruise is on the Graham Norton Show on BBC1 at 10.35pm tonight
