It's really nice because I enjoyed them all so much and now my son is an age where he and I, we're re-watching them together and he's seen them for the first time and he's absolutely hooked.

And so we're watching it and the action is so amazing.

And then I read somewhere that you're afraid of heights and I thought that's not possible because I've seen you do too many cool stunts.

It looked like you couldn't possibly be afraid of heights.

Yeah, I didn't know that I was afraid of heights till, I mean, I did these stunts, like I jumped off a bridge in the second Bourne movie and I was fine.

I had a cable and a harness and there was a big crane that I was attached to.

And, but I was in Dubai in 2004 and went to the top of this building with my wife and on this helicopter pad and walked out and it was one of those, I went full lizard brain and I realized, oh my God.

I couldn't, it was like, I couldn't physically move.

And I, subsequent, like subsequent to that, I haven't done anything really that involved heights, but I did, I had, so I had dinner with Tom Cruise like years ago after he did that thing out of the building.

He's done so many insane, he's done so many insane stuff.

He hung off a plane and he's hanging, he's running down buildings.

Well, so that one, so I saw that one and I ended, I happened to have dinner with him.

Emily Blunt was making a movie with him, a really good movie called Edge of Tomorrow that they did years ago and I was in London and we all had dinner together and so I kind of cornered him and I said, hey, tell me about this.

And he goes, oh, I, you know, and he's, you've met Tom.

He's very like, you're the only person in the world.

But it's not even that everything else disappears for him.

Like, it's just everything else went away and suddenly I was like.

But I know exactly what you're talking about, yeah.

But he just laser locked and he was like, cause he really wanted to talk about it.

He said, I've been dreaming of this shot for 15 years of this sequence and finally I had a chance to do it.

And I goes, well, so how did it come to pass?

This is what I'm gonna, I explain the whole, the whole, the whole gag to him.

And he goes, so I get another safety guy.

And I looked at him and I'm like, I'm tapping out cause you win.

Like, there is, at that point, when, when you get the safety guy whose only job is to keep you safe says, that's too dangerous.

My reaction is, too bad we can't do that sequence I came up with.

His reaction is, no, we're getting another safety guy.

It's like, yeah, you end up into like Sammy's safety shack.

It's like, have you ever done safety on a movie?

I told Mr. Cruise he could run off the top of that building.

Cruise just laser locked on him and the guy said, my world just disappeared and I'm in love and yes, you can jump off of it.
