Simon Pegg recently revealed on the BBC radio program 'Desert Island Discs' that he hid his alcoholism while working on the set of 'Mission: Impossible 3' in the 2000s. “When something like that happens in your life, you get very sneaky,” he told radio host Lauren Laverne.
Simon Pegg revealed that he developed this addiction after experiencing mental health issues. He is said to have hidden this fact while filming ‘Mission Impossible 3’, which was released in 2006. But fortunately, Simon Pegg is said to have been able to recover with the birth of his daughter in 2009.
In the broadcast, Simon Pegg also mentioned his close relationship with Tom Cruise, who worked with him on 'Mission: Impossible'. Simon Pegg said: "My relationship with him is very simple and very touching. It has always been a very easy relationship. I realized that I would have a different experience when I met that person than the convoluted and baseless stories surrounding him. ) He loves and likes him. It energizes him and becomes his driving force.”
Simon Pegg appeared in the third installment of ‘Mission: Impossible.’ He is playing the role of agent Benjamin Dunn in the ‘Mission: Impossible’ series. Benjamin Dunn is often referred to by the nickname Benji, and as the helper of the main character Ethan Hunt, he is loved by audiences around the world as a scene stealer in 'Mission: Impossible'.
