Simon Pegg needs to be “part” of Tom Cruise’s “third act”.
The 53-year-old actor has turn out to be good pals along with his ‘Mission Impossible’ co-star and believes that after Tom is completed along with his motion films, he’ll make extra character pushed movies, which Simon hopes to be part of.
He advised The Independent newspaper: “I don’t know. I love working with Tom, and he’s really good fun to work with but I get the feeling that when Tom goes off and does other things, it’ll be a completely different thing.
“He has a complete different age to come back in his profession. He’s an excellent actor, a really, superb actor — as we’ve seen in ‘Magnolia’ and ‘Jerry Maguire’… I feel when he lastly stops leaping off [stuff], he’ll have a 3rd act. And sure, it’d be good to be part of that.”
Meanwhile, Simon – who is sober – has previously spoken about his past alcoholism and he admitted that watching his old movies is difficult because he can see the physical effects his drinking had on him.
He said: “I used to be by no means drunk on set. I may need had a nip in my trailer or one thing [but] my ingesting was by no means to the detriment of my work.
“I can see the physical effects on myself. I can see where I’m a bit bloated and I don’t look very healthy. Films where I can see the effects of it on me are hard to watch because I just think, ‘Oh God, what are you doing? What are you thinking?’
“The things that dog you mentally, you can understand them, you can name them, you can get therapy, you can learn how to deal with them, but they never go away. It’s a constant thing.
“That was a period in my life when I wasn’t looking after myself and now that I am, it’s weird to get asked about it a lot and then have to go back in time. I’ve said what I needed to say. I’ve told my story.”
