Hayley Atwell got in a fight while eight months pregnant for latest Mission: Impossible

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.

Tom Cruise might hang from planes, dangle from buildings, and run fast enough to catch the number 16 bus, but Hayley Atwell got in a scrap with bad guys during Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning—all while eight months pregnant. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Cruise's co-star, who plays Grace in the film, revealed that she had to do reshoots and was set on keeping her stunt double on the sidelines.

"During this fight sequence, we came back to it a few times to add a few elements to it, and in this clip, I’m actually eight and a half months pregnant," she explained. Seemingly taking on the Mission: Impossible approach of going hard or going home, Atwell expressed how helpful the crew was at the time, but she was still adamant on getting the job done.
