H
e’s 54 years old, but Tom Cruise can
outrun most actors half his age.
“When you do a Tom Cruise film
you better be prepared to run. . . A lot,” laughs
Cobie Smulders, who plays an army ranger
on the lam with Cruise in the Jack Reacher
sequel,
Never Go Back
.
“Tom is like a bullet, he is so fast,” she
continues. “Day one, we started on the
treadmill, and we had to push it to 21 miles an
hour, and then do that sixty times. It was very
intense. Honestly, I don’t know how I did it.”
To make matters worse, Smulders broke
her leg prior to shooting.
“It was so stupid, I always injure myself
when I’m just walking down the street, but I
was in my apartment and I just tripped over
something, and snapped my tibia, so I was
on crutches for six weeks. A week later I was
in the gym with Tom Cruise, probably the
weakest physical shape I’ve ever been in my
life,” shudders the actress best known for
her role as Agent Maria Hill in the Avengers
films.
For the second Jack Reacher
film, Cruise
has two women in tow – Smulders as his
former army colleague who he breaks out of
a military prison, and a daughter portrayed by
newcomer Danika Yarosh.
A TV actor and former dancer, the 18-year-
old actress describes her big screen debut as
“probably the best first experience ever."
“Tom took me under his wing and taught
me about everything, in every different
field," she adds. "Usually on set, you learn
by observing, but Tom actually took it upon
himself to full on teach me, especially with
stunt work.
“If he was doing a big stunt, even if I wasn’t
in it, he would make sure that I was on set,
and have me right next to the cameraman,
so he could teach me about angles, and how
stunts work, and how to keep yourself safe;
he even had me training with the stunt crew,
just so I learned for future work.”
