During her appearance on the podcast, Blunt detailed the stress of filming the Doug Liman-directed action film and Cruise’s advice for her.
“We had to wear these enormous suits, which I think would’ve been great if we had CGI’d them, but we wanted to do it in a tactile way,” Blunt said, noting “there was nothing cozy about these suits.”
“It was like 85 pounds. It was so heavy,” she said. “The first time I put it on I just started to cry, just started to cry in front of Tom, and he didn’t know what to do.”
Blunt shared that Cruise’s straightforward advice for her approach to the movie came after she confessed her nerves over the production to him.
