Further talking to the outlet, Simon Pegg stated that his time filming the next and the last action-packed entry in the globally renowned franchise came to an end not in an usual way. It was not with any major cinematic or climactic scene, along with the lead star of the movie, Tom Cruise. His last day on the set did not even include his fellow co-stars.

The actor from Shaun of the Dead then went on to add that his last day on the set did not follow “cheers from the crew, hugs, tears, and maybe even a cake.” In fact, as per the actor, it was just a simple scene where his character, Benji, was shown sitting in a car.

“I think it was just me there,” Simon Pegg spoke to the outlet, adding, “There was no huge post-stunt euphoria, or anything like that.”
