Tom Cruise is still suffering after breaking his ankle on the set of Mission:Impossible.
In August 2017 the film was forced to go on hiatus after the actor broke his ankle whilst performing a stunt.
Cruise, 55, was jumping between two rooftops when the accident occurred.
When Cruise appeared on The Graham Norton Show this week, he revealed he is still recovering.
“It’s still broken but I’m doing well,” he said. “It’s not fully healed but we are shooting and we have a release date so I just have to keep going.”
He continued to tell host Graham Norton, “I spent eight to 10 hours a day, seven days a week in rehab because we still have some major stunts to do”.
The actor, who is known for performing his own stunt, revealed more about how the break happened.
“I was chasing Henry and was meant to hit the side of the wall and pull myself over but the mistake was my foot hitting the wall,” he explained. “I knew instantly my ankle was broken and I really didn’t want to do it again so just got up and carried on with the take. I said, ‘It’s broken. That’s a wrap. Take me to hospital.’ And then everyone got on the phone and made their vacation arrangements.'”
