Keri's 'Mission': Playing Toug (Celebrity Secrets)
Tuesday, May 09, 2006
She looked stunning in Balenciaga at the New York premiere of Mission: Impossible 3, but Keri Russell told us getting to be banged up and bruised for her role in the movie was much more of a blast. "There's such a freedom in that. It's much scarier to look beautiful. It's so much harder," she said at the film's New York premiere. "I'm having so much fun on this because there's a few other girls who are really sexy, and I just feel like the fun girl. It's more comfortable to be that girl."
And the actress – whose first meeting with Tom Cruise involved a hula hoop contest at director J.J. Abrams' house – also got to channel her inner Action Jane while playing Cruise's fellow secret agent. "We did lots of weapons training. We had to assemble machine guns blindfolded within 30 seconds. My best time was 13 seconds."
