Hayley Atwell had an unseen costar during a fight scene in “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.”

During a recent appearance on “The Tonight Show,” Atwell revealed she was more than eight months pregnant while filming reshoots of a fight scene in “Final Reckoning,” but still managed to do all her own stunts.

More from Variety

“During this fight sequence, we came back to it a few times to add a few elements to it,” she said as host Jimmy Fallon introduced a preview of the scene. “And in this clip, I’m actually eight and a half months pregnant.”

She continued, “I’m serious. Yes. And I have to say, I was taken such good care of. Everyone was so supportive and they were like, ‘Oh, you can sit down, and we’ll have a stunt double do it.’ And I was like, ‘No! I’ve worked too hard. Let me do it.’ So I did it, and here it is.”

Atwell, who plays a thief named Grace who joins forces with the IMF, stars in “Final Reckoning” alongside Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Esai Morales, Angela Bassett, Pom Klementieff, Henry Czerny, Nick Offerman and Hannah Waddingham. The film is in theaters now.

Atwell isn’t the only one who had to push their physical limits for the final “Mission: Impossible.” Franchise frontman Cruise recently shared that while shooting an extended underwater sequence in the film, he was unable to see because of the aquatic lights.

“A lot of times I cannot see because of the reflection of the light,” Cruise explained. “So, I would go in, kind of blind, spend a lot of time on the set figuring out [the movement] as we’re figuring out the shots. Then, when I’m doing it, I have a hard time. Plus the suit, when it’s wet, increases in weight by about 125 pounds. So, the kind of workouts and things that I have to do just to prepare for these things, it’s years of development. And yeah, and I’m producing it, so it’s also that kind of thing.”
