LA Fires and Showering at Natalie's

I don't know how old he is, but you can't tell when you're there with him. You're just like, oh, he's 25, right? We got there like 8 in the morning, really early, like in London, cold day. And then he comes in like still in his, like in his outfit before he gets into his Mission: Impossible gear. Yeah, like kind of just like his day-to-day clothes, like in his joggers. And he like, he's like, guys, welcome on set. He's just like, he's talking to like 8 or 10 of us. It's really intimate. And he's like, I want to show you guys what we've been working on. They play the trailer of the new Mission: Impossible, like way before it came out. Yeah, I think came out like, I don't know when it came out, but it was like a month and a half before the trailer even came out. And I'm fucking blown away by this trailer. And then he's like, what do you guys think? And we're like, fuck yeah, Tom. And then he's— and then he talks about it anyway. Then we get a tour of the set. It's just incredible. There's like 400 people working on there. So there's, there's these underwater sequences they film, right, that are like in submarines. Like, they're like in the movie, it's like a nuclear submarine that's gone rogue, right? He's like swimming. He has the mask on where like the, the— there's like a light coming out from his mask. It's really Mission Impossible-esque. And the way they film these underwater sequences is they have basically these like 40-story buildings, these tanks. These like 40-story tanks that they've constructed. The water is like a 10-story pool. Yeah, it's not like you're in a pool that's underground. It's in this like 40-story building or whatever it is. So you take this like elevator up to the top and now you're like, you know, X amount of feet up in the air. And then you're standing outside the submarine set and the sets are so crazy. I can't even explain it. It really is unfathomable.
