Back in August, Tom Cruise broke his ankle while filming a stunt for Mission: Impossible: Fallout and has not spoken publicly about it since. Today on The Graham Norton Show, not only did he described what happened, he also showed us from 3 different angles and a closeup on his leg as it broke. All I have to say is ouch.
That and what a professional he was to finish the scene even though he broke his ankle. How many other people would do that? I would be crying and cursing out the crew until they carried me away in the stretcher and gave me millions of dollars to stop crying.
Cruise also gave an update on his ankle and says it is still broken. When you think about it, most broken bones heal in about 6 weeks, he is going on 6 months. He really had to do a number on it, and yet he is back filming and doing his own stunts. Just hopefully none that require him to smash into a building again. Which I am pretty sure the producers will not allow.
