Angela Bassett reveals her biggest stunt in ‘Mission: Impossible’

Angela Bassett sat down for an interview with People for their issue on Mission: Impossible where she opened up about her role in the movie.

“It’s thrilling, the stuff that they do,” she remarked about the death defying stunts performed in the franchise. “It’s just mind-blowing.”

When asked if her character, U.S. President Erika Sloane in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning had any stunts, she responded, “Absolutely not. I definitely don’t have FOMO [the fear of missing out],” adding that, “my only stunt is walking.”

Bassett first took on the role in the sixth film from 2018, Fallout, where her character was the head of the CIA.

About her role, she said she considers her to be like “instruments, a part of an orchestra.”

The character’s complicated relationship with Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt means that in this flick there are “levels of ‘I don’t want you doing that — do I really not want you doing that?’ ‘Can we work together as you’re doing that, because you’re going to do it anyway?’”

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is set to come out in theaters on May 13.
