Simon Pegg has revealed that his friend Tom Cruise refuses to accept responsibility for a mistake, a tactic he uses to maintain his authority.
The 52-year-old British actor explained how the 59-year-old Hollywood movie star “categorically denies” any wrongdoing of his own and will not even apologize when the truth of his mistake is discovered.
He told The Times: “If something goes wrong and it’s his fault, he’ll deny it. And then if someone corrects him, instead of saying sorry, he’ll just say ‘Yes’ and wink at me.

“I admitted that he had fucked me once and he said, with an ironic smile, I hurried to add, ‘Simon, don’t do this.’ He maintains his authority without ever being guilty of anything. ‘
The Hot Fuzz star, who befriended Tom while filming Mission: Impossible III in 2006, detailed how swarms of fans surrounded the couple, shouting, “Tom! Tom! Tom!” as long as they go out together on the street.
While Simon is able to go undercover with a simple cap, the New York native attracts hundreds of devotees who once hit the window of his car during a trip to Casablanca.
He said: “I would be very stressed, but I’m fine with that. He understands that this is the price for the level of movie star he is. Maybe he’s the only movie star left.”
Strange: The 52-year-old actor said: “If something goes wrong and it’s his fault, he will flatly deny it.” And then if someone corrects him, instead of saying sorry, he’ll just say “Yes” and wink at me. “
Every time Simon receives a text message from the Golden Globe winner, he shouts, “Wooo-ooh!” he joked that his wife, Maureen, didn’t impress, calling Tom “her boyfriend.”
Simon, who has overcome his alcohol addiction, explained how he has maintained “deep, heart-to-heart conversations” with the Scientologist over the years.
He previously revealed that he would appear drunk on set while filming his first film Mission Impossible in 2006.
The comedian admitted it was “a kind of wreck” while recalling how he once drank the entire minibar in the hotel room before filming the scenes.

Simon plays IMF coach Benji Dunn in the blockbuster, while Tom plays the protagonist Ethan Hunt.
Simon previously revealed that his unlikely friend and gym classmate Tom christened him “Six-Pack Pegg” while training for the 2018 Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
He told Mail On Sunday’s Event magazine: “We train together most of the time. And yes, Tom called me Six-Pack Pegg. He thought it was fun. I didn’t care. At 48, he was quite happy to be able to relocate my abs. “
The “nerd does it right” Brit and the deity of the American film have become close friends and, as he should be a good companion, Simon was on the defensive in the face of rumors surrounding Tom, so refers to the beliefs and lifestyle of superstar Scientology.

He sighed: “He’s the subject of so much speculation and conjecture and he just lets it go. People have these opinions about him, which are based entirely on gossip and he really doesn’t do anything to fight it. When I hear people speculating about his strange religion and making assumptions about who he is as a person, I say, “Do you know that he risks his life for his audience?”
This is not an empty Hollywood boast. All Mission: Impossible – Fallout stunts were real. No CGI, no cheating, no kidding. “Tom is 100 percent driven,” Simon said. ‘He is 100 percent committed. He’s doing those stunts, flying those helicopters, doing those jumps.
‘He likes it because I make him laugh. I’ll lift him up and I can be honest with him. But it’s still Tom Cruise. When you’re on set, he’s the boss. I’ve never seen him just be ap ****. If he’s in a darker mood, there’s usually a reason. When his ankle hurt and he ran a lot, he was calmer and a little sharper, but we usually laugh a lot.
Tom’s work ethic split fans in 2020 when he surprised crew members and even fans with his anger over coronavirus safety procedures on the set of his upcoming sequel Mission: Impossible in.
The leaked audio from the set of the next mission: Impossible 7, was shared by The Sun and authenticated by The New York Times.
In the audio, Tom could be heard shouting at crew members and throwing insults after seeing them less than six feet away as they watched a monitor.
“I’m on the phone with all the fucking night studios, insurance companies, producers and they’re watching us and using us to make their movies,” he shouts. ‘We’re creating thousands of jobs, motherfuckers. I never want to see him again. Always!’
