Tom Cruise's Top 5 Moments On The Graham Norton Show!

[Applause] this is odder than i thought it would be do you ever get over the fact that my expression through the whole movie is tom cruise he really is you know it's just straight up all those movies and he looks just the same at the top of your game it's phenomenal and this is apropos nothing but i was a kid and i went to america and the first movie i saw in america was like an audience test screening of risky business come on i know really i'd fill in the car and i could have wrecked your career but that was kind of that was the beginning really isn't it do you remember kind of the moment when fame hit and you thought oh actually i can't arrange to meet a friend outside a coffee shop anymore i can't you know your life changed do you remember your life changing yeah i remember right after yeah it did right after risky business it changed a lot and then top gun it was very good he said top gun i feel like we shouldn't ask any questions we'll just sit here and look at him for a while oh now tom please you aren't legendary for the amount of time you spend with your fans and the signings and all that time when you meet your fans you've got this huge back catalogue of movies so do people want you to like do lines for movies do they do catchphrases is there any particular categories they always want to hear well there's different ones from different films you know that sometimes they'll ask or they'll they actually kind of shouted at me sometimes you know and it's the one that's top of the list there's not like one no basically i was like do something oh okay oh yeah all right okay i'm sorry yeah okay [Applause] okay amuse us with some patrons yeah you complete me you had me at hello [Applause] [Music] oh help me help you i want the truth oh yes oh do i feel the need for speed sometimes you just got to say what the yeah obviously business yeah oh risky business i don't know 10. i'm coming here i i sound like your mother because you you do the stunts and i worry for you i work i just think stop now luck running out you know there's only so many times you can do these crazy things like the last mission impossible you learned how to hold your breath underwater tell the people how long this is incredible how long could you hold your breath for underwater six and a half minutes good right those takes underwater because it took from the time you get rid of the regulator get rid of the bubbles get on the side and we wanted to do it in one shot so there were very very long shots so these takes took you know they'd i'd have to hold it consistently you know safely up to four minutes almost for every take almost to the point of why bother i know but we were committed everyone was there the camera was set up i'm just like what am i gonna say it was too late to say no how is that possible is it circular breathing do they do that no it's just you have these free divers that came in and trained me how to do it and it's it's it's not pleasant it's really kids you no actually you you get to the moment where you train your your uh your system to i'm now under i'm controlling the breath so i've got a low heart rate anyway and i would very low heart rate which means my body's not using as much oxygen but also we did stuff to bring the heart rate down lower and certain breathing exercises and i trained for a long time to the point when i finished the sequence there'd be times i'd be sitting there talking in meetings and i wouldn't breathe i realized i am not breathing and i had to turn my autonomic system back on to breathing in that's bad that's bad that was a little i i did that so i'm done with that but actually jude though no no no stop it first the runnings in the young pope you do hold your breath for about 40 seconds it was quite a long yeah it was no six and a half minutes but it was a long time yeah it's no six half minutes thank you did you train for it so you know you still want agony i mean it's painful i didn't actually because it's not it what it really isn't that long uh basically it was it was in the script that uh he's uh he's he's he's had this trauma i don't want to give anything away uh he he give him a little bit he has a prayer and he decides he wants to get away from everyone so he's in the bottom of his palatial swimming pool so that the shot starts on the back of me and we had to time the length of the prayer over a minute let's say that yeah and it comes around and we had the time you said it comes around and like you're saying the thing that takes the longest is once you're down there you're waiting for the bubbles to clear yes and they're ready and then you hear well because they've got microphones in so you're awkward then you start to feel you do a little pain because i would i was just trying to count it or or recite the prayer but then i worried that the prayer would start changing speed so i started counting and then i knew every time i got to like 70 i was always starting to think okay i hope they're there soon because then i had to trust that they were in front of me for when i opened my eyes do this and then i go up so wow but it was no six and a half minutes still you know that pain i mean i had to train stuff to do the first time i did it was like yeah learning that kind of stuff is honestly i think yep no six and a half minutes no uh but it is it's a perk you know you learn to do these weird things and wonderful things so not a useful thing to know how to do i mean learn french say you're out with you know when you get thrown out of the boat and you're down there now you know how to hold your breath i could stay alive for an extra six minutes you beat them all yeah he was the last one to die you're the last one to go yeah you get to wave them all goodbye they all hate you as they die yeah that's impossible obviously you're pays your money you want the the big big stunts now last time you were on the show you were kind of hinting at this big set piece in this movie that you spent years preparing yes so i think you can tell us a bit more about it now right now i could tell you a bit more okay i spent uh really two years mc and i were talking about a sequence and it's an aerial sequence with helicopter and i've wanted i've studied you know many different films and so when i went and i got my helicopter license and we're flying uh airbags i was surprised you didn't have a helicopter license it's also not you when they were telling me you got it and he got his head away really i'm sure i've seen him flying helicopters before were you flying without a license previously yes not to get into trouble or anything but yeah so who were you okay sort of wonder you got it quickly i know i know it's very fast okay so you get the license yeah and then we uh you know we just started really working on the sequence to see what can we do practical i mean i think in terms of action this is probably the largest practical action film ever shot like when you look at the films there's no cgi so we're going through paris the motorcycle it's just full-on cars you know we're all doing our own stunts and the helicopter sequence is just incredibly uh exhilarating and very dangerous so there's really only one country that would allow us to do it where we had to build special camera rigs for the helicopter and so i got my license and we just i trained up on aerobatics and it's different i fly aerobatics and airplanes but helicopters are very different so we're flying very low very close to rock faces in a chase and i'm chasing you know henry into sequence and we've got some pictures of it here so now this is so there you that's you fly this is the end of the sequence or the beginning i think we've got these pictures the wrong way around i think no there it's i can't tell you that right now okay it's part of the scene all right well well i just think this might be out of the room because there's henry hanging out of the house there's henry back there flying he's hanging out he's not even flying a helicopter what he had to do because we're doing aerobatics he's at least i know my own fate you know he was there at times he was literally on the on his tail like a foot off the tail rotor at times he had no idea there were times where i genuinely thought it was like okay this is how it goes dedicated at least i get killed by tom cruise henry's lucky because he can actually fly anyways yes of course [Applause] so here you are now i'm guessing so that must be after this next bit because this next picture you're on the outside so someone must be flying that helicopter it can't be please tell me you didn't get out of the helicopter while it was going so that's that's you i mean and it is it's it's that is you hanging over the helicopter but this next picture is one it's just a beautiful picture but it's crazy so that's you yes i mean that okay i know right i can tell i can tell by this you're quite high we were on the ground that day we're in the ball hanging on the rest of the and because you know tom does all this stuff does that mean that you guys have to say yes to want everybody they can't wait you can't get these guys out of the stunt room do you know what henry's like in the helicopter he's loving it you were freezing in that helicopter oh we had a client yeah it's new zealand winter and the doors are open you posted a picture you posted a picture on your instagram of you doing a stunt which looks very painful it should be i think it's you being lowered down a cliff by your nipples i love the stiff neck and the thumb yeah i'm fine it's one of those moments where you're you're being lowered off this eighteen hundred foot cliffs yeah one of those moments i know i'm perfectly safe because the stunt crew is absolutely fantastic eastwood team is they're just they're really good you trust the harness and they've all triple checked everything but it's still 1800 foot backwards it's so high and the boats at the bottom in the fjord are about this big that it looks like a painting and so you lose all sense of like fear and adrenaline for the height you start thinking if i were to fall could i kind of like squirrel suit with my make it all the way to the water maybe just like skim you've been in superman too much uh you know with child now so that makes stunts harder but even when you did the last movie you seem quite unsuited i mean don't you did suffer from vertigo going into these oh yeah so i mean that does seem a bizarre thing to say yes to being in one of these films well i didn't really know what i was saying yes to okay i don't really know how these films were made so you know when i was on the camel in the desert very quickly and then the first day of shooting tom what did we do we jumped off a building yeah the first day of shooting i think we've got a picture of you so that that that's me swearing and shouting the naughtiest words ever in my ear in your ear i'm so sorry swear switzerland did i say that i'm so sorry i'm just so the worst words ever and then we jump off and he just looks at me and the tom cruise comes away and goes welcome to missionary [Applause] [Music] you said it to all of us i remember my special day too now normally and gentlemen on a show like this we would uh show a clip of mr possible but you haven't finished the film yet sorry so uh it's not gonna happen so we thought we'd make it a snatch of one of our own now uh one of the most iconic stunts that you do tom is that running away from something exploding you're very good at it thank you very much we've got some stills there's uh running away from a van oh that's in the channel tunnel there this is the exploding fish tank oh yeah there you go joe i've just looked that's a very good movie i like that's down that's x score that is very good so i think presumably timing is key because these are real they're real explosions they're real explosions so yes that one was particularly very crazy was this the one where no one properly told you the timing yeah the guy was over there and he said okay we're gonna go on three and he started going three two one i said whoa whoa stop stop and then we'll stop waiting you know we have an explosion's going to go in my head and he said i said you just said on three he said well i meant three what does that mean so now we're gonna go i said just everyone's please it was like two in the morning and they're setting it up and there's broken there's glass and just tons of water and he said well i'm gonna three two one and i said then i do i go then or do i go do i go on one like when do i go do i go on one are you going to push the button is it going to explode on one it was you know it kind of looked at me like i don't know i'm not sure [Laughter] what we've done is uh we've got a green screen here so we could raise up the green screen at a great speed while we're waiting for that we're gonna get some members of the audience should to do this but in terms of this tom so what we're gonna do is they're gonna start back there they're gonna run they're gonna run okay they're gonna run to here and then that's the type of experience and then they're gonna want to get a height and presumably facial expression so what in terms of jumping what's the best way to get height are they going to land in the mats yeah that's the idea first of all watch your ankle on the mat because he knows this he knows it okay let's get some people let's get people to do this uh we'll might we'll get to you hang on uh who now uh who wants to do it you want to you want to do it okay you can come do it come do it what's your name jamie jamie lovely okay jamie so tom tips for jamie before so what sort of a facial expression should you go for um whatever it feels natural just most important thing is don't get blown up don't get bored yeah you're trying not to do it i'm escaping you're escaping you're escaping but you're brave yeah you're great he's great yes you know you've got to look terrified you're frightened but you're still brave yes frighten the brain i'm not going to go too high what i'll do for you i like that what's the countdown is it three two one three two one go okay so you're going on one on three one let's go you do it suddenly three two one okay here we go here we go jamie okay so it's three two one go oh that was good [Applause] okay let's see it let's see it oh there's jamie he's running he's running [Applause] do you'd like to do it okay here you go here you go you are in that dress okay fine what's your name maddie all right buddy up here there you go okay here comes maddie now so you saw jamie yeah you saw jamie so it's very important that you just piss all over that okay buddy so women just do it the same right rebecca yes we do we do absolutely and think you go think up okay i want you to think up elevation we're looking for elevation next your face jamie was like a stone one thing one thing jamie did when jamie did it which you saw in the playback was it looked like jamie did a really big fart don't do that okay here goes maddie here goes okay so here we go three have fun two one go [Applause] oh okay here's maddie [Applause] should we do one more one more one more let's get someone uh uh you'd like to do it oh you'd be so good at it go wrong have a go have a go dude come on right now you're fish at the moment you're okay okay okay you've seen the others you've seen the others i think the important thing is particularly because you look so beautiful big face at the end okay so we're looking for high chair evelyn heights take my and then forward okay okay yeah you're good okay okay okay okay this is evelyn [Applause] there we go okay let's have a look good job let's watch evelyn [Applause] i'm nearly finished hope so you've been filming since when last year last year last march or april i mean so it's been a year yeah yeah so you must be nearly finished it's cause i broke my ankle we had to shut down but we're about six weeks away the ankle this is that so are you fully recovered are you well it's still broken but i'm doing well no you're kidding is it still broken yeah i mean it's not fully healed but we're shooting but that's nuts because we've seen no you've seen a picture of you you're running and doing all this stuff again yeah now but we have a release date so we got to keep going yeah otherwise you'll end up going live much better you probably i'm sure you all saw the the footage in in it was on the papers and things on online of the accident yes and i think we all kind of thought well how did you break an ankle doing that does it look like you should have broken your jaw or something i know everyone said that was the stunt i mean i'm going to run across and hit the side of the wall and then pull myself over that wasn't the mistake so you're always meant to not yes land on the roof okay so what you've done is you brought us some footage i think this is so cool to see this from the different angles this is what i i can't watch this i haven't watched it most of it's fine there's one clip but i will warn you it's not for the squeamish growth you see i'm wearing two wires they're basically just safety wires because i go to full tilt and i'm sprinting as hard as i can and i hit the side of the wall and that's the stunt i hit the side of the wall and then i'm chasing after henry actually and uh all his fault i blame him i hit the side of the wall and then i i climb up on the wall and i'm supposed to run past kevin okay so we've got uh this is the shot from behind you so this is you see the the speed and the momentum of the run and it's in london there we go so it's keeping the uh okay so here he goes look at that whoa and now it's good noise everybody but you get my point that you think how did you break a leg so let's look at it from the side this is it from the side no no no no this isn't a bad one this isn't the bad one rebecca so this is from the side here we go we shot it with three cameras okay here he goes and boom now now we've got our camera which focuses on the foot now if you are squeamish don't watch this because it still hasn't seen it keep trying to show it to me and i'm like yeah i mean a bone doesn't pop out or anything but it is an odd angle for anyone's foot to be nobody's foot should ever have to do this yeah here we go here we go oh my gosh so he jumps that speed that momentum here we go and now watch that watch this but here here is why here is why tom cruise gets paid the big bucks okay because this is it from the front angle okay so you've just seen what's happened to his foot now watch this i knew i broke it instantly so you're down now anyone else would go well that's over no up he gets a pig and he's running [Applause] i didn't want to do it again i knew i knew instantly it was broken and i i just run past camera we got the shot it's in the movie that profile shot both those shots are in the movie and henry everybody said when when you got up and ran out of shot oh that's so him to complete the shot like with your foot hanging off [Laughter] i just went i said sorry guys it's broken you know take me to the hospital it's broken that's a wrap everyone everyone crew got on the phone and made their vacation arrangements i made a baby [Music] you
