Mission: Impossible 8 Star Almost Loses Nose to Frostbite During Filming in Arctic!

by

I can’t help but feel awe as I reflect on the harrowing experience one of the stars from “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” faced during filming in the Arctic. This chilling tale was recently unveiled by the cast, and it only adds to the anticipation for the upcoming eighth installment of “Mission: Impossible.” Set to hit theaters on May 23, 2025, this movie promises more thrilling stunts and espionage adventures featuring the inimitable Tom Cruise reprising his role as Ethan Hunt. The exceptional cast for “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning” also includes Simon Pegg, Haley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Pom Klementieff, Greg Tarzan Davis, and Angela Bassett. As an admirer, I eagerly await the release of this film, which might just be Cruise’s last Mission: Impossible adventure.

Entertainment Tonight’s Nischelle Turner recently interviewed Pom Klementieff, Greg Tarzan Davis, and Simon Pegg about their upcoming project, during which they shared anecdotes about filming in freezing temperatures (source: etonline.com). In the conversation, Klementieff revealed a chilling incident from the set of Mission: Impossible where she came dangerously close to frostbite on her nose. Fortunately, her colleagues promptly recognized the issue and hurried to warm her up before it became serious. The discussion also touched upon the safety measures implemented to safeguard the actors in such extreme conditions. Here’s a snippet of their comments:

* Pom Klementieff: “I almost lost my nose to frostbite while filming Mission: Impossible, but luckily, my team quickly realized it and warmed me up.”
* Greg Tarzan Davis: [Shares an amusing story about dealing with cold weather on set]
* Simon Pegg: [Discusses the importance of safety precautions during filming in extreme conditions]

Klementieff: During filming, the camera focused on me, and later, people shouted, “Pom! Pause! Warm up! Warm up!” I asked, “What’s going on?” It turned out that my nose had started to turn white.

The tip of her nose was beginning to turn pale and white, and if we hadn’t acted sooner, it could have resulted in her nose becoming frozen or even dead.

ET: Could you feel — you couldn’t you feel anything?

Klementieff: Yeah no.

ET: You just knew you were cold?

Klementieff: Yeah.

Constantly, there were individuals monitoring the screens and taking care of us. If your skin turns waxy and pale, that’s a sign of frostnip, which is a precursor to frostbite. Therefore, we had a team on standby, ready to rush onto set, apply hand warmers to our faces, or use a hair dryer to warm us up.

What This Means For Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

A Behind-The-Scenes Story To Rival All Tom Cruise’s Stunts

The Mission: Impossible series has gained recognition over time due to Tom Cruise’s willingness to perform risky, life-threatening stunts personally. This creates a predicament where he must constantly surpass his previous daring feats with each new movie. His dedication often earns him praise from critics and the film industry alike. Yet, it’s important to note that Cruise isn’t the only one taking risks for the sake of the final product.

During her promotional tour for the film, Klementieff appeared cheerful as she recounted this anecdote. It’s fortunate that the Mission: Impossible team had thought ahead and ensured safety when shooting scenes, so they wouldn’t send actors into potentially dangerous Arctic conditions just for a thrilling shot. This careful planning makes it possible for such stories to be shared casually without affecting the movie’s overall reception.

We Forget Sometimes That Being An Actor Can Be Dangerous

Occasionally, a movie-making tale surfaces, serving as a gentle reminder that the actors and teams behind our cherished films often face perilous circumstances or challenging environments in their pursuit of artistic excellence. I was taken aback by Pom Klementieff’s account during the filming of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, an incident that, to my mind, could have been far more harrowing than it appeared to be for her. It provides a glimpse into the world of filmmaking, where I’m grateful for the diligent efforts of stunt coordinators and other crew members who work tirelessly to ensure our safety.
