Tom Cruise faced a “gruelling” challenge on the set of Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.

The star had to do a particularly “hairy” stunt for the film involving a motorbike.

He told Yahoo! Movies: “It was physically the most gruelling sequence. We’re going at very high speed with Simon Pegg as my passenger, drifting through very narrow streets with cameras on (the bike). I’m not wearing a helmet or pads, and at one point I’m highsiding a guy. It was hairy, actually.”

Tom revealed he was left “scared s**tless” when one of his stunts saw him hanging off a flying plane. Asked about the experience, he said: “I was actually scared s**tless. I’m an aerobatic pilot and I’ve always wanted to do that. I was in a harness, on my side, that was kind of loose so you can see the vibration of my body against the plane.”
