Speak against 9Honey celebrity on the red carpet of the movie’s Australian premiere, Tom said there was so much going through his mind while filming this scene.
“I was thinking about performing, because you see me at the beginning, I have to act, but I also think about the helicopter going down, the speed I have to go down that slope,” he said.
Before taking on the death-defying stunt, the A-lister did a lot of training and practiced skydiving for the scene and had a ramp built in England so he could do a few dry runs.
This is Tom’s seventh MI film and will be released in Australian cinemas on July 8.
