While talking about the scene, he mentioned that they spent five days filming in a BMW car in the excruciating heat when the former decided to advance his torture to the next level.
“It was very hot but I got really hot, a little too hot, and I realized after about three days that Tom had been turning my seat heater on when I wasn’t looking.”
Elsewhere, he mentioned that his co-star used to keep him alive by hydrating him when he was almost reaching his limit.
“Can you get Simon some water, I think he’s getting a bit dehydrated.”
He continued to share Graham Norton,
“He kept doing it and kept getting me electrolytes and hydrating me – it was like Seven, he was keeping me alive while torturing me!”
However, this torture was not one-sided as Pegg decided to make the tables turn by letting Cruise taste his own medicine.
