Michelle Monaghan who has worked with the Top Gun star in 3 films in his blockbuster franchise Mission: Impossible, was effusive in her appreciation for Cruise and her unforgettable working experience with him.

Tom Cruise Made A Huge Impact On His Mission: Impossible Co-Star
Tom Cruise’s aura on and off screen that has sometimes been controversial, has also played an important part in how the actor has been perceived by his peers.

One of these celebrities was Michelle Monaghan who was a prominent presence in Cruise’s blockbuster Mission: Impossible franchise. Introduced as Ethan Hunt’s love interest Julia in Mission: Impossible 3, Monaghan reprised the role in 2011’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, and 2018’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
Speaking about the Cocktail actor’s charisma, prowess, and her unforgettable experience sharing screen space with him (via Looper), the Pixels star couldn’t stop expressing her admiration for Cruise and what he represented.
There’s no one like him. He really is amongst the best of the best. He is someone who truly, truly connects with you as an actor, as a person, and really draws out an incredible performance. I don’t know if I’ve ever worked with an actor that I’ve been more connected to in the moment.
These are very high words of praise considering the fact that Monaghan has worked with the likes of Robert Downey Jr. who is a recent Oscar winner, and Val Kilmer in 2005’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which catapulted her into the big leagues. While she had a lot of admiration for these two celebrities, it seems that no one but Cruise can take the top spot, judging by her statements about him.
Tom Cruise Was The Favorite Of These Stars As Well
Despite living life king-size, Tom Cruise has never let his iconic superstardom get in the way of his humility.

British actor Simon Pegg has possibly known Cruise most intimately from his association with the celebrity since 2006 when he entered the Mission: Impossible franchise. Pegg was effusive in his praise for the Eyes White Shut star and called him one of the most caring co-actors that he had ever worked with on set.
“Of all the mist of stuff that’s around him, in the center of that mist is a generous, sweet guy who looks after everybody. He leads from the top down. And he’s kind of inspiring to be around. There’s no one else like him, he’s the last movie star of the old kind.
Pegg went on to add that Tom Cruise’s attitude towards people and his passion for cinema never changed despite becoming one of the world’s biggest superstars. The British actor admitted that he felt fortunate to have him as his friend for over 17 years.
