Mission: Impossible stars share sweet moment on The One Show
Simon Pegg shared a sweet moment with Hannah Waddingham on The One Show as she gave him a shout out for his work in Tom Cruise's latest Mission: Impossible movie. The pair co-star in The Final Reckoning, with Waddingham making her debut in the franchise as Admiral Neely, the head of an aircraft carrier, and Pegg back as technical field agent Benji Dunn. As Pegg was discussing the film on the BBC programme, Waddingham asked if she could say something. She then explained that she thought Pegg was "one of the most underrated actors" and that he was "the heart" of the Mission movie. Pegg had been discussing his character's journey in the franchise, when Ted Lasso star Waddingham said: "Can I just say something about this man because he will never say it himself?" She went on: "He is so much the heart of this film. Every time he does his thing, the audience are going nuts, honestly I think he is one of the most underrated actors that we have." Hosts Alex Jones and Roman Kemp were moved, with Jones exclaiming: "Aw!" "No, because he really is," said Waddingham. "Because there is all the action of it all, there is the Tom of it all, but this man brings so much heart and comedy at the same time and I really think he is so underrated as a dramatic actor... he will make you cry your eyes out." "Wow... love it!" said Kemp. Pegg looked touched, and pretended to cry before leaning over to hug his co-star as the presenters looked on. Waddingham also talked about her role in the film, sharing what it was like to join the cast of Cruise's franchise. She said: "I met Tom and (director) Chris McQuarrie on the tarmac on the runway with my rucksack on my back. I met them on the runway, we got into a Black Hawk helicopter, flew out, literally me going, 'Be cool, this is absolutely fine' and he was like, 'Let me put your bag under my feet' and I was like, 'OK!' "We flew out and suddenly we are in the ocean and coming alongside the real George HW Bush fighter carrier with 4,500 active serving men and women waiting for us on the deck. We land the helicopter and Tom, no word of a lie, over the cans went, 'Hannah, welcome to Mission!' and I was just like, (screams)." Some scenes of the movie were shot on an island off of Norway, where it was minus 40 degrees. Pegg told how the cast and crew battled the bitter cold and had to hide from polar bears.

"You have what's called frostnip which is where your skin goes kind of white and as soon as they see that — they are watching the monitors — they come in and they blow a hairdryer in your face to warm you up," he said. "And then there were the polar bears, which was terrifying. It was incredible to see them in the wild and you just clear away. As soon as they are glimpsed on the horizon everybody hides and they just lumber through." The One Show airs at 7pm on BBC One on weekdays. Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning premieres in UK cinemas on Wednesday, 21 May.

"It's ridiculous," he went on to fume as the prankster apologised and defended himself. But Tom's rant didn't end there. "You like doing mean things to people?" he asked. As the prankster walked away, Tom then shouted out: "Hey, hey, no, no, don't run away. "Don't run away, it's incredibly rude. I'm here giving you an interview and answering your questions and you do something really nasty." He then added: "You're a jerk. You're a jerk. You know what, you're a jerk."

I know what happened," she said to the Daily Mail after the incident went viral. "And, I have a boundary. And I stand by those boundaries and that is it.
