He put Mission Impossible 6 filming behind by nine weeks after suffering an unfortunate fall while shooting a stunt scene in August 2017.
And Tom Cruise has now detailed the moment he "instantly" knew his ankle was broken during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show.
The actor, 55, returned to filming the action franchise earlier this month to ensure the movie makes its July 2018 release date, but has revealed his foot is yet to heal in full, wrote the Daily Mail.
Tom made an appearance on the BBC chat show alongside his co-stars Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg, and franchise newcomer Henry Cavill, along with musical guest Paloma Faith.
Speaking about the moment he suffered the nasty injury in August, Tom said: "I was chasing Henry [Cavill] and was meant to hit the side of the wall and pull myself over but the mistake was my foot hitting the wall.
"I knew instantly my ankle was broken and I really didn't want to do it again so just got up and carried on with the take.
"I said, 'It's broken. That's a wrap. Take me to hospital' and then everyone got on the phone and made their vacation arrangements."
