During a segment, he opened up about the group chat that the film cast is quite famous for, revealing that the leading star,Tom Cruiseis not a part of it.
It is quite a weird thing since he is quite a crucial part of the movie and the group’s major purpose was to keep in touch with everyone. He revealed that the actor’s jam-packed schedule and other prior engagements were kept in mind before leaving him out of the group.
Pullman shared,
“Our crew is still on a thread. Not Tom; we don’t need to bother him with all of our memes. He’s got more important stuff to do. But he’ll take a call at any point if we ever need help.”
The cast was quite thoughtful as they would not want to disturb theMission: Impossibleactor with their memes as his hands are full of other important matters. However, he did assure that Cruise would be available for them in case of any assistance.
