He also has his friend and mentor, Tom Cruise, to thank for that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to an article by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/entertainment\/movies\/2025\/11\/06\/glen-powell-the-running-man\/86978646007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:USA Today;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">USA Today<\/a>, there is a crucial scene in the film when two cars are speeding at each other. Powell, who plays Ben Richards in the movie, jumps off a bridge and hangs on the side of a building.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To get this \u201cdangerous\u201d stunt right, Powell turned to longtime friend and mentor Cruise for advice. He revealed, \u201cI mean, Tom has had his fair share of those. The one thing he told me is the most dangerous thing that you\u2019re not going to expect is running at night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to Powell, Tom told him, \u201cThey\u2019re always going to push the sprinting stuff to the end of the night.\u201d And true to the film title and Cruise\u2019s prediction, some of the toughest action scenes required a lot of running.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The 37-year-old was required to sprint across wet cobblestones or a graveyard soaked in smoke in pitch darkness. Continuing further, Powell remarked, \u201cI was always like, \u2018Hey, guys, can we push that like a little bit earlier in the night?\u2019 Every single time, 5 in the morning, just before sunrise.\u201d He also thanked the Mission: Impossible star for his generous advice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Running Man star quipped, \u201cBut we survived it. I thank TC for the advice, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On November 7, Tom Cruise attended a special screening of The Running Man and shared pictures with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1683673-tom-cruise-with-glen-powell-at-the-running-man-premiere\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Glen Powell;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Glen Powell<\/a> and the cast on his Instagram. He captioned the photo, \u201cAnother great night out with my friends at the movies! You guys crushed it, congratulations! I laughed, was on the edge of my seat, and ate way too much popcorn.\u201d The Running Man will hit cinemas on November 7.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Originally reported by Anwaya Mane on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/fun\/1684040-glen-powell-thanks-tom-cruise-the-running-man-stunt-advice\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2025\/11\/07\/glen-powell-thanks-tom-cruise-the-running-man-stunt-advice\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Tom Cruise\u2019s Advice Helped Glen Powell Tackle \u2018Dangerous\u2019 Stunt in New Film;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Tom Cruise\u2019s Advice Helped Glen Powell Tackle \u2018Dangerous\u2019 Stunt in New Film<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reality Tea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glen Powell reveals how he was able to tackle a \u201cdangerous\u201d stunt in his new film, thanks to Tom Cruise.
