He went on to describe the meticulous nature of Tom Cruise's work ethic, saying, "To be able to watch Tom Cruise do what he did in real life, all practical...the guy is the real deal." Oyoung's words paint a picture of a star who not only acts but actively participates in the most dangerous aspects of filmmaking. Oyoung highlighted one particular stunt sequence as the most impressive he's ever witnessed. He described the sheer scale and risk involved, underscoring Cruise's dedication.
