Tom Cruise, 60, starred alongside Emily Blunt, 40, in the 2014 blockbuster Edge of Tomorrow, with Emily admitting she became teary at one point on set due to the heavy robotic costume. The Mission Impossible star is said to have offered harsh words of encouragement to his co-star as he called her a “p**y”.

Emily was emotional on the set of the 2014 Hollywood blockbuster as her heavy robotic costume caused damage to her ribs, leaving her co-star Tom unsure of what to do.

‘He just stared at me for a long time!’

She admitted that her famous co-star “didn’t know what to do”, so he instead simply offered his own harsh words of encouragement.

She and Tom portrayed space warriors who were caught in a time loop while being tasked with saving the earth and the human species.

While Top Gun and Mission Impossible star Tom is no stranger to action flicks and is known for doing his stunts, It was the first action film for Emily.

he star explained on the Smartless podcast that she had become emotional on set while being weighed down by the hefty costume.

She shared: “We had to wear these enormous suits, which I think would’ve been great if we had CGI’d them but we wanted to do it in a tactile way.

“When you hear the word tactile you think that sounds nice and cosy; there was nothing cosy about these suits.

“It was like 85lb, it was so heavy. The first time I put it on I started to cry and [Tom] didn’t know what to do.

“He just stared at me and was like ‘I know, I know’, I was like ‘Tom I’m not sure how I’m going to get through this shoot’ and just started to cry.

“I said ‘I’m feeling a bit panicky about the whole shoot’.”

Attempting to diffuse the situation, Tom used the approach of tough love as Emily continued: “He just stared at me for a long time, not knowing what to do, and he goes ‘come on, stop being such a p***y, OK?’.”

It appeared to work as the actress appeared to laugh it off and managed to make her way to continue with the scene.

The costume was so heavy that a male stunt double was needed for Emily.
