  • I am a massive fan of the Bourne movies.

  • I think we all are.

  • I just absolutely love those movies.

  • I just love them.

  • I love them.

  • I love them.

  • 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.

  • That's great.

  • 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 was wearing a cable.

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

  • I was like, this is fine.

  • And I did it.

  • 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.

  • You mean you just froze.

  • I completely froze.

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

  • It was crazy.

  • 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.

  • Yeah.

  • Remember that in Mission Impossible?

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

  • Well, he hung off a plane.

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

  • Like it's absolutely incredible.

  • 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.

  • Like, I'm afraid of heights.

  • How did you do this thing?

  • 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.

  • Everything else, yeah.

  • He looks you right in the eye.

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

  • Everything else disappears for you.

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

  • That's called falling in love.

  • It could be.

  • It could be, it could be.

  • 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?

  • And he goes, okay, okay.

  • So I go to the safety guy.

  • I tell him this is what I'm gonna do.

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

  • Right.

  • The safety guy says, you can't do that.

  • He goes, that's too dangerous.

  • And I'm like, uh-huh, uh-huh.

  • And he goes, so I get another safety guy.

  • That was it.

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

  • You are the best.

  • 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.

  • It would have been really cool.

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

  • Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  • You're out, you're out.

  • That guy's gone.

  • Get the craft service guy over here.

  • You're the safety guy now.

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

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

  • Nope, no, it's my first time.

  • Probably my last.

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

  • Seems all right to me.

  • Well, he said he could do it.

  • I believe anything that guy says.

  • 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.

  • He can turn people.

  • He can turn people.

  • He's that good.

I am a massive fan of the Bourne movies.
