Thandiwe Newton shared what it was like working alongside Tom Cruise, who she called a very dominant individual.

In an interview with Vulture, the actor divulged what it felt like on the set of Mission: Impossible 2 with the action star.

I was so scared of Tom. He was a very dominant individual. He tries super hard to be a nice person. But the pressure. He takes on a lot. And I think he has this sense that only he can do everything as best as it can be done, Newton said.

She told the story of a scene shot in Spain in which Cruise got frustrated with her and offered an unhelpful way of fixing what was wrong.

Tom was not happy with what I was doing because I had the shittiest lines, she said. And he gets so frustrated with having to try and explain that he goes, Let me just lets just go do it. Lets just rehearse on-camera. So we rehearsed and they recorded it, and then he goes, Ill be you. You be me. So we filmed the entire scene with me being him because, believe me, I knew the lines by then and him playing me. And it was the most unhelpful I cant think of anything less revealing. It just pushed me further into a place of terror and insecurity. It was a real shame. And bless him. And I really do mean bless him, because he was trying his damnedest.
