JAM Nation with Jonesy & Amandađ« Did Tom Cruise BAN Peter Overton From The Mission Impossible Premiere?
C'mon Tom, it's been 18 years...
And Amanda jam Nation.
I must say it was hard to decline the invitation for the latest Tom Cruise Mission Impossible franchise. I wanted to go and see that and go to the red carpet and do all that sort of stuff, And then I was.
Reading this story. We were away. We couldn't.
No.
I just chose to sit at home and eat a lamb roast.
I think I might, would you red carpets make me anxious?
But you got along.
There's Tom there, it's all you know, vibing out there.
Kerry Hann's there, everyone's there, Richard Wilkins, the.
Gang's Gang is all theredom But you.
Might have missed this story that's come out and it's in the Woman's Day. So it's it's gospel to me. Tom veted Vito the VIP red carpety thing for Mission Impossible.
He vetoed it.
He had a look at it. Anyway, he had a look at it and said who's in and who's out? So you and I were in. You know who was out?
Pet was out?
Our peace, Peter Overton.
Pet.
Because you remember years ago with the interview on sixty minutes, and that was back in two thousand and five.
What happened?
He had the interview and he asked.
About was Peter asking that made him?
He said to Tom about what you would say that Nicole was the love of your life.
They've broken up long before that hadn't that four?
But Pete just asked that and Tom.
Said, Peter put your manners back in?
Yeah, And that became one of those iconic sixteen phrases in like, please explain. They love that at sixty minutes at sixty so they call it these phrases that go viral.
Yeah.
You know why though that Peter Overton grew up next door to Nicole Kidman.
Yeah, I know that.
Yes, So there's probably a lot of history there of Peter asking the question about his love for Nicole because they there neighbors of Nicole, they grew up together. They would know Nicole very well. They probably met Tom a number of times. And then that relationship ends and he's Peter knowing all the bodies are buried? Do I an interview with sixty minutes? But I mean he knows that he would, he'd be having inside his view as to you.
Know, yeah, what happened?
And I can almost see for Tom's perspective. You know, the Red Carpet premiere. Everyone's there, Richard Wilkins, carry Ane Kennelly, although he would know where's that Jonesy Johnsy where? Yeah, he's not there, but he would have thought, you know, there's Pete hogging all the because all the journalists would be going, oh, hang on, there's Pete.
What's going to happen?
He's so charismatic. Tom Cruise, isn't he Remember I met him on the project that time show in my head. I took along something that you had bought on eBay, which was his face that they made the mold for the mask for a mission impossible. And I showed it to him and he pretended to be outraged, but you couldn't tell whether it was real. And I pretended to be outraged and said that's illegal, and then he laughed and I said, I kiss it every night.
Carry And Carrie Bickmore, she said to me that Tom Cruise checked you out.
Yes, well that's what she said to me too. But you know, I don't know if I could have the scientology life.
Well, that's the thing.
And that's the other thing about when you've got Tom Cruise in your life and Simon Peter, who's in the mission in post of Him franchise. He was asked about his relationship with Tom Cruise, and that's what he said.
It's always been a very easy relationship. I think you realize when you meet the person rather than the thicket of mythology that's built up around them. You know, it's a different experience. My relationship with him is very, very simple and amiable with friends.
He also went on to say that they went helicopter trail bike in.
Adventuring see if you want all that cool.
Stuff, and even Tom Cruise buy his own mission on that day said to someone Peg, it's a bit of a Tom Cruise. Even Tom Cruise said that. You remember we spoke to Jennifer Connelly who was in Maverick.
Remember she said this, even you feel Wow.
I was like, Tom Cruise, is somebody filming this?
Someone filming camera? So I just keep a piehole shot.
He's very charismatic, isn't he. But as those people say, you take the bit of Tom that suits you and you live.
That other stuff.
I want the helicopter and trail biking part of time if I could.
And I'll just take the plaster face that I can kiss in my own time.
He never gave that back either, when I said to.
Him, because he was he was promoting the movie The Mummy the Money. Remember it was about the apocalypse kind of stuff. Yeah, and uh. And I was just chatting to him in the green room and I said that rats scene. And I said, what's your thing? You know, because you're some characters have rats. And he said, in real life, he doesn't have a thing. He's this is protr that's part of the religion. But he's impervious to the fear.
No, he said, he likes fear.
But he doesn't like I said, what's your thing? Is it rats?
Is it high?
He said he didn't have a thing.
About shod women with plaster casts of his face.
That was his only vulnerability.
I couldn't resist me.
