December 21, 2023

Actress Michelle Monaghan reflected on her career, highlighting a nerve-wracking moment during an interview with Collider. She shared the experience of filming a romantic scene with Tom Cruise for "Mission: Impossible III" right after her wedding, which made her apprehensive.

Discussing the film, Monaghan expressed how filming the intimate scene with Cruise, particularly on her honeymoon, left her feeling anxious. Despite her worries, her husband, Peter White, encouraged her, emphasizing Cruise's professionalism. White's supportive attitude, rather than jealousy, buoyed her spirit.

Monaghan credited her husband's unwavering support, citing his pride in her achievements. Despite her initial nervousness, she cherished the experience of working with J.J. Abrams and Tom Cruise, expressing respect for both and the film series.

Reflecting humorously on the unusual circumstance, Monaghan appreciated her husband's positive perspective, revealing how his support has been a driving force behind her success. Michelle and Peter met in 2000 and tied the knot in 2005, sharing a daughter, Willow, and a son, Tommy.

Mark Wahlberg, Monaghan's co-star in "Family Plan," discussed his experience, admitting to initial jitters at the beginning of shoots. However, he shared that once the first shot is done, the nerves dissipate, and he's ready to dive into the work.
