Henry Cavill has revealed the surprisingly practical reasons behind hi🦩s most ic🍷onic scene in Mission: Impossible.

Tom Cruise is the star of the show in Mission: Impossible but, for a brief moment, he was overshadowed in 2018’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mission: Impossible – Fallout by Henry Cavill&r🐭squo;s August Walker and his ‘reloading&rsqu🔥o; arms during one fight scene.

podcast (H/T ), Cavill explained the movement came about after an especially long shoot.

"Everything starts to get quite sore after a while, because 𒀰it’s a lot of repetitive motion. And the connective tendons in my biceps were getting sore, so I had to warm them up before I threw punches. I would literally do that to warm them up," Cavill explained.

He continued, "I did it once, and I thought ‘oh, god that probably looked really stupid’… And I said, ‘oh sor🌱ry [to director Christopher McQuarrie], I’ll do that again.’ And he’s like, ‘do what?... And then I did another take without doing it, and he’s like, &l💖squo;why didn’t you do that thing? That was really good.’ And I was like, ‘that was good?’ And he said, ‘yes! Definitely do that.’ And we did."

Mission: Impossible is returning – without any arms being reloaded, we expect – for an upcoming two-parter. Dead Reckoning Part One will release on July 14, 2023 with Pa🐷rt Two to follow on June 28, 2024.
