Tom Cruise Says 'Pressure Is a Privilege' During Press Tour Stop in Korea for 'Mission: Impossible'

Tom Cruise and the cast of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning have arrived in Korea!

The 62-year-old actor, in his 12th visit to Korea, attended a press conference and red carpet premiere for the movie on Thursday (May 8) in Seoul, South Korea.

He was joined at the events by co-stars Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, and Greg Tarzan Davis, as well as co-writer, director, and producer Christopher McQuarrie.

Tom told reporters there, “We have a saying, which is ‘pressure is a privilege.’ The thing I also have realized about myself is how much I enjoy the pressure, how much I enjoy the responsibility of making movies.”

Tom admitted that he gets scared while filming his death-defying stunts.

“People ask if I’m not scared when facing various difficulties. Honestly, I am,” he said. “It’s okay to feel those emotions and I’m not afraid of them. I don’t just look for what’s safe.”
