Matt Damon & Tom Cruise Have Different Approaches To Death-Defying Stunts | CONAN on TBS

I am a massive fan of the Bourne movies I think we all are I just absolutely love those movies it's really nice cuz I enjoyed them all so much and now my son is an age where he and I we're watching them together and he's seen him for the first time and he's absolutely hooked that's great and so we're watching it and the action is so amazing and then I read somewhere that you're afraid of heights and I thought that's not possible because I've seen you do too many cool stunts where it looked like you couldn't possibly be afraid of heights yeah I didn't know that I was afraid of heights too I mean I did these stunts like I jumped off a bridge in the Bourne in the second Bourne movie and now I was fine I was wearing a cable I know I had a cable and a harness it was a big crane that I was attached to I was like this is fine and I and I did it and but I I was in Dubai in 2004 and and went to the top of this building with my wife and on this helicopter pad and walked out and and it was one of those I went full lizard brain and I realized oh my god you mean you just froze I completely froze I couldn't I was like I couldn't physically move it was crazy and right and I subsequent like subsequent to that I haven't done anything really that involved Heights but I did I had so I had dinner with Tom Cruise like years ago after he did that thing out out of the building yeah that may be so many insane he's done so many insane we hung off a plane and he hung off the plane and he's hanging he's running down buildings like it's absolute at once oh I saw that one and I and I and I ended I happen to have dinner with him Emily Blunt was making a movie with him a really good movie called edge of tomorrow that I did years ago and I was in London and and and we all had dinner together and so I I kind of cornered him and I said hey tell me about this like I'm afraid of heights how did you do this thing and he goes oh I you know and he's you've met Tom he's very like you're the only person in the world when everything else yeah yeah it's you right in the eye it's not even that everything else disappears for him everything else disappears for you like it's just everything else went away and suddenly I was like falling in love it's good it could be it could be but I know exactly what you're talking about yeah but he just laser locked and he was like cuz he really wanted to talk about he said I've been dreaming of this shot for 15 years of this sequence and finally I had a chance to do it and I goes well so how did it come to pass and he goes ok ok so I go to the safety guy I tell this one I'm gonna do this one I'm gonna explain the whole the whole the whole gag to him right the safety guy says you can't do that because that's too dangerous and I'm like uh-huh uh-huh and he goes so I get another safety guy I'm tapping out cuz you win you are the best at that point when you get to set the safety guy yeah whose only job is to keep you safe yes says that's too dangerous yeah my reaction is too bad we can't do that sequence I came up with it we've been really cool right his reaction is no we're getting another safety yeah you're out you're out service guy Samy safety chef have you ever done safety on a movie nope no the first time probably my last yeah I told mr. Cruz he could run off the top but he said he could do it I believe Cruz just laser lock I'm the guys to my world just disappeared and I'm in love and yes you can jump off he could turn to taking some people he's that good [Applause]
