Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt became quite the duo after they starred in the 2014 iconic movie Edge of Tomorrow. Being a sci-fi/action movie, there were bound to be stunts in the movie which Cruise would personally star in to continue his legacy.
Recalling an incident when Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise were both involved in a stunt, they were hanging upside down from a rope. Since it was too much to bear, Emily Blunt imitated Cruise’s honest reaction when the Top Gun actor was praying that the camera would start rolling.

Although this wasn’t the “Upside Down” from Stranger Things, the upside down from which Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt were suffering, wasn’t so good either. Talking about the story while shooting the iconic 2014 movie Edge of Tomorrow, Emily Blunt talked about a hilarious story during filming.
Stating that to shoot the scene in which both she and Tom Cruise jump from a plane, the set was created quite small. Stating that it was claustrophobic, Blunt revealed that the camera crew would often bump into the actors who were hanging upside down from the rope to portray the action of falling.
“We’re hanging in the extra suits and the entire weight is like on your groin. Miserable people, just like this [she becomes stiff]. And Tom [Cruise], that insatiable positivity, I can just see it starting to unravel”
The Jungle Cruise actress further continued.
“He was pouring with sweat. I remember looking at him and he was like ‘Guys, please. Please roll, please roll.’ And I just looked at him and I swear [mouthing ‘this sucks’] like that and he looked at me and goes ‘It’s a challenge’ (while nodding her head)”
Well, turns out that this wasn’t the only incident/accident that happened on the sets of Edge of Tomorrow. As per the reports, after missing her mark, Emily Blunt slammed the car right into a tree almost killing Cruise who was sitting in the passenger seat!
