Simon Pegg got punched in the face on Mission Impossible 5

Mission Impossible Rogue Nation is in cinemas this week and it's full of some of the most ridiculous stunts ever committed to film, including the very famous moment when Tom Cruise hitched a ride on the outside of an airplane at 5000 feet.

But Cruise wasn't the only one getting involved with stunts, including co-star Rebecca Ferguson and returning player Simon Pegg. The British actor, best known for comedy roles in the likes of Spaced and Shaun of the Dead, got in serious shape for the part of Benji Dunn, training alongside Tom Cruise and really throwing himself into the action. And that didn't always work out as planned.

"I got thumped in the face!" said the 45 year old actor when we asked him if there was any particularly cool action moment we should look out for. He may have misunderstood the question.
