Simon Pegg has revealed what it's like to brush shoulders with an Oscar winner and one of Hollywood's most famous A-listers.

The Shaun of the Dead actor has just finished working with Mark Rylance on the Steven Spielberg directed film Ready Player One. The film, which is based off a bestselling novel, tells the story of a dystopian future where people plug into an idyllic virtual reality.

Speaking of Mark, Simon says working with him makes you 'bring your A game'.

'It's a lovely privilege to work with an actor of such calibre', he added.

Simon is also about to start working on the sixth instalment of the Mission Impossible franchise.

The Tom Cruise vehicle is known for its out-of-this-world stunts, all of which Tom does himself. Simon says Tom is 'dedicated to making people gasp'.

'I worry that by the time we do number 9 or something, the stunts like hanging off a plane will be the minor things'.
