– It is a privilege to be here – NRK Møre og Romsdal – Local News, TV and Radio

– I love your country. It’s so beautiful, Tom Cruise told Raja when they met at Åndalsnes in Rauma on Tuesday.

– beautiful

Cruise has been in Møre og Romsdal to shoot scenes for “Mission: Impossible 7” since the end of August.

The government granted an exemption from the crown rules so that the film crew could come to the country and film, and the Minister of Culture said at the time that the crew would spend NOK 6 million on infection control measures.

– You’ve made it as easy as possible. We get incredible images. It is so beautiful here, says the Hollywood star in a meeting with Raja.

The recording has received a lot of attention. Especially when the actor jumped from the Helsetkopen mountain in the municipality of Stranda.

Then 100-200 people showed up to see the spectacular scenes. Cruise jumped over the 1,200-meter-high mountain several times on a motorcycle and parachuted into the impressed onlookers.

In the video, Tom Cruise says the plan is to return to Norway to make the next film as well, and the praise doesn’t end there:

– Thank you very much for the warm welcome and all the help. It is a privilege to be here. I’m not just speaking for myself, but for the entire crew we have here. You have a beautiful country. The people here are absolutely wonderful.

Abid Raja: – Appeared with his feet on the ground.

The Culture Minister says the meeting with Cruise was pleasant.

– He appeared as a very down to earth guy who was sincerely committed to Norwegians, Norwegian nature and Norwegian culture. He really wants to go back to Norway to make the next movie here.

Raja thinks the movie will be spectacular. In the previous movie “Mission: Impossible”, the scenes were shot in the pulpit. But in the movie, it is portrayed as if the mountain is in India. According to the Minister of Culture, Cruise has promised that this time there will be more Norwegian publicity.

– Here you have Norwegian history, Norwegian culture and Norwegian experience in use, this will be truly spectacular. Cruise said the footprint of Norway in this movie will be much bigger than in the previous movie, now there will be much more of Norway in this movie, says Raja.
