Tom Cruise is known as a man who loves his stunts! Remember that time he scaled the world's tallest building for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol?

He's starring in the new reboot of The Mummy series. It also stars the likes of Russell Crowe, New Girl's Jake Johnson, Peaky Blinder's Annabelle Wallis and Sofia Boutella.

The new film departs completely from the 1998 series, with Tom Cruise starring as Nick Morton, a smuggler who steals ancient artifacts to sell. Of course, this doesn't exactly go to plan, after the villainous mummy Ahmanet, played by Sofia Boutella, is awakened from her tomb and starts to wreak havoc.

Naturally, this film is full of hair raising stunts. It wouldn't be a Tom Cruise flick without them!

We chatted to some of his co-stars who marveled at the A-lister's work ethic, and just how much of his dedication to stunt work rubbed off on them.

And while we're on the subject of stunts, Annabelle Wallis told us a sweet story about trying to re-create one of Tom's most famous ones with her boyfriend, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

Sofia Boutella and Jake Johnson also sport some pretty impressive make-up in the movie, and as we know from other big budget supernatural movies, that can mean a long time in hair and makeup - five hours in fact!

The Mummy is out in cinemas now. You can check out the trailer here >>
