When Jimmy Kimmel asked Henry Cavill whether Tom Cruise had a death wish: ‘I am not sure whether Tom Cruise can actually bleed'
Tom Cruise and death-defying stunts have been going hand in hand for more than 30 years now, and the actor always seems to come up with new ways to draw that collective gasp from the crowd. In the Mission Impossible series, Cruise has done some jaw-dropping stunts, which have led to some stunning visuals and helped in the overall realism of the films. Talking about Cruise's habit of worrying the entire crew because of his stunts, actor Henry Cavill once explained to talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel the psyche of Cruise and why he does what he does.
On an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, after the premiere of Mission Impossible: Fallout, Cavill shared his experience of working with Cruise and his tendency to do stunts that make insurance officers sweat bullets. Kimmel asked him whether Cruise had a death wish, and Cavill replied, You know what? You would assume so, but he doesn't because he's just really good. Yes, he gets hurt, but I am not sure whether Tom Cruise can actually bleed.'

Henry Cavill then talked about the famous building leap which broke Tom Cruise's ankle and revealed how long it took for the actor to get back on the set. 'When he broke his ankle on the set, he was told immediately by the doctors that 'You won't be able to put weight on it or use it for 6 months, and you may never run again.' He said, 'Well, that's not good; that doesn't work.' He was running 6 weeks after that happened.'
Cruise has himself talked about the stunt in question in the past and clarified that he was always supposed to hit the side of the wall, but the ankle-breaking part wasn't in the plan. The cast of Fallout, including Cruise, Cavill, Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson, appeared on the Graham Norton Show and reviewed the footage of the stunt. Pegg pointed out that Cruise keeps trying to show him the clip, but he refuses to watch it. He recalled that when Cruise continued the shot and ran past the camera with a broken ankle, everyone on the set said, 'Oh, that's so him.'
Now we wait for Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, which hits the Indian theatres on May 17. Trailers and sneak peeks already show some more stunts that promise to leave the audience right on the edge of their seats.

Will Loki Season 2's Ending Act as the Beginning of Doomsday? Tom Hiddleston Shares Details While Also Addressing His Return in MCU
Tom Hiddleston is set to return as Loki in the upcoming Marvel movie, Avengers: Doomsday. The actor made an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show, where he revealed if Loki season 2's ending would lead to the beginning of Doomsday. The talk show host stated that it is the God of Mischief who held the timeline of the MCU. Hiddleston went on to correct him that the character still holds the timeline. Moreover, the English native shared that while he knew that he would be a part of the Avengers film, Tom had no idea about the makers going live to announce the cast. Tom Hiddleston's comments on Avengers: Doomsday While on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show, the host went on to ask the actor, 'Is this going to be a major part of Avengers: Doomsday?' referring to his character holding the timeline. Hiddleston responded, 'See, this is where I run out of rope, Jimmy. We always do this dance, you and me. I can exclusively tell you...I will be there.' He further added, 'There was the big thing they released of all the names on the back of the chairs. I didn't know. I was like, 'Oh, I guess I'm in the movie.' In fairness, I did know I was in the movie. But I am so used to not knowing, 'I'm in the movie.'' It is understandable that Hiddleston won't give out any information regarding the new Marvel film. As of now, the fans are only aware of Robert Downey Jr. returning to Marvel as Dr. Doom, the villain. Loki Season 2 ending, and how it play an important role in Avengers: Doomsday As for the ending of Loki season 2, the audience witnessed that Hiddleston's character sacrificed himself after learning that he will stay alone forever. He exchanged himself for the powers that would keep the multiverse safe, since none of the Kang variants are alive to create chaos in his friends' lives. One major spoiler, as per the theories, could be that in Avengers: Doomsday, Dr. Doom could try to steal Loki's power and create havoc in the multiverse. Avengers: Doomsday will hit theaters in December 2026.

"She absolutely annihilates me": Draymond Green's shocking revelation about his mom proves his trash talk DNA in a candid way
Image credit: Draymond Green/Instagram Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green's latest revelation about his mom confirms that Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton's dad is not the only one to have embarrassed him in a houseful stadium during a match. Green has revealed his mom, Mary Babers-Green, not just criticizes the opponent team but also his team—and the one who faces her extreme wrath is Green himself. Draymond Green on his mother's trash-talking habit During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Draymond Green revealed, "My mom, since I was a child, has been the mom who, like, from the stands, she yells, 'You suck!' But the thing about my mom is she talks bad about all the players on my team. She kills them. But she absolutely annihilates me.' He also gave examples of how his mom would snap at others' kids, but they wouldn't mind her words upon realizing how she treats her own kid in public. 'I've always heard the stories where in the beginning a parent would almost want to get snappy at her and as they continue to watch, they realize how badly she talks about me. They're just like, 'Oh, that's not a problem what she's saying about my kid,'" he said. Draymond Green on Mavs Trading Luka to the Lakers, His Mom Talking Trash & Guarding Wembanyama Giving another example of how she would get upset when he would object to her, Green revealed, 'When I was younger I could always hear it because the gyms were smaller, and I used to sometimes turn around and be like, 'Ma, stop!' She wouldn't talk to me for days after I did that. She'd be mad at me as if I did something wrong.' Green often finds himself in controversy over his verbal remarks. Before the Golden State Warriors were eliminated from the NBA Playoffs, Draymond Green was fined $50,000 by the NBA after a video showed him "making an inappropriate comment that questions the integrity of game officials."
