Swedish-English actress Rebecca Ferguson, known for her role as daredevil secret agent Isla Faust in the Mission: Impossible franchise, has recently opened up about her experiences working with Tom Cruise and her new venture into the world of nature documentaries.
Rebecca Ferguson Working with Tom Cruise:
Ferguson has been a part of the Mission: Impossible franchise since 2015, starring in Rogue Nation, Fallout, and Dead Reckoning Part One, with the follow-up due for release in 2025. She has praised Cruise’s extraordinary work ethic, describing him as a “happy, excited, professional movie star” who is “kind, wonderful, and driven.” According to Ferguson, Cruise’s enthusiasm is infectious, inspiring the best from his cast and crew. She said, “He expects the best of everyone. That’s probably the one thing I’ve really taken with me. If you can’t deliver, that’s fine, you always look for other solutions. But he’s the first one on set and the last one out. If you ask that everyone be their best selves, you need to deliver that for yourself. And he does.”
