00:00And, I mean, one thing that strikes me about your career at this point is that you actually,

00:04I think there's a comparison to make between you and Tom Cruise, because both of you have

00:08just an extreme love of cinema, you guys love movies so much, and again, you both personally

00:13put yourself on the line, you throw yourself into this action so much.

00:17Yeah.

00:55fighter jets, so what he's doing in terms of the events that he's participating in,
