Hayley’s French bulldogs created quite the stink when meeting her Mission: Impossible costar.
The adorable pups, Wolfie and Iris, took an instant liking to Tom Cruise during a cast movie night.
They snuggled right up on his lap without hesitation, showing their seal of approval for the action star.
THE ULTIMATE CHARACTER TEST
“Dogs know good people,” Hayley explained on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
She brought her furry friends to Tom’s home when he extended an invitation during filming. This casual hangout was part of Tom’s effort to build team chemistry among the cast members of The Final Reckoning.
FRENCH BULLDOGS: CUTE BUT DEADLY
What started as a sweet bonding moment quickly turned awkward.
French bulldogs are notoriously gassy creatures, as Hayley reluctantly informed Jimmy’s audience.
Her beloved pets proceeded to unleash their special talent directly on Hollywood’s biggest action star throughout the entire film.
TOM’S PROFESSIONAL RESPONSE
Ever the professional, Tom pretended not to notice the doggy gas attack.
While other cast members were visibly gagging around the room, Cruise maintained his cool, munching popcorn and focusing on the movie.
His composure only made Hayley feel more mortified about her pets’ behavior.
AN AWKWARD APOLOGY
The embarrassment became too much for Hayley to bear.
During a quiet moment in the film, she finally blurted out, “Sorry for all the tootin’!”
This only made things worse, as Tom’s uncomfortable “Uhh, yeah” response and quick return to watching the film left Hayley wishing she’d said nothing at all.
BEHIND-THE-SCENES BONDS
Despite the gassy encounter, Hayley and Tom’s on-screen chemistry remained strong.
They reprise their roles as Grace and Ethan Hunt in the latest installment of the action franchise.
Their real-life friendship extended beyond doggy disasters to other memorable moments, including a close encounter with a curious polar bear on the Arctic set.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The Final Reckoning brings together action, comedy, and heart-stopping stunts.
While viewers won’t see the infamous farting incident on screen, Hayley’s Tonight Show confession gives fans a hilarious glimpse into the cast’s off-camera dynamics.
The film, possibly the franchise’s finale, showcases both stars at their action-packed best.
