Tom Cruise and Henry Cavill fight a lot of bad guys in their films. These bad guys are played by stuntmen who have often trained in martial arts, karate, and, other forms of combat.

Starring alongside notable actors and actresses throughout their careers, these stuntmen (and stuntwomen) have it rough. Liang Yang, a notable stuntman who fought Cavill and Cruise had previously worked in Cruiseâs 2014 film which made him famous!
Liang Yang Kicked Henry Cavill And Tom Cruiseâs Butt!
Back in 2018, Tom Cruise and Henry Cavill joined hands when they starred in the iconic film Mission: Impossible â Fallout together. When the two gentlemen are in a restroom, a fight ensues.

The scene starts with Cruise hitting Liang Yang (who was washing his hands) hard across the face with a laptop. Unconscious, they take him to a toilet stall where they try to scan his face.
When Liang Ying wakes up, a terrible fight ensues. From choking Henry Cavill to almost cutting Cruiseâs neck with a sink pipe, the fight was clearly one-sided.
Safe to say, Liang Ying kicked the butts of Henry Cavill and Tom Cruise as he almost shot Cruise in the head with a pistol until another character shot Ying in the head and the fight ended. However, the journey of how Ying was cast in the role is quite iconic to hear.
Liang Ying Was A Stuntman In Tom Cruiseâs Edge of Tomorrow
According to a post on X, some trivia about the infamous bathroom fight scene from Mission: Impossible â Fallout was discussed. The post stated that Liang Ying was not just any ordinary stuntman.

As per the post, Ying is a Wushu martial arts champion! Being a prominent stuntman in Hollywood, Ying has done quite a lot of projects over the years including Game of Thrones, Skyfall, Kingsman: The Secret Service, and, more.
However, notable director Christopher McQuarrie and actor Tom Cruise worked with Ying in the 2014 film Edge of Tomorrow. Since then, the director and Cruise had in mind that Liang Ying was one of the best stuntmen out there who could be cast in a movie.
In fact, the stuntman took to his Instagram and posted some behind-the-scenes footage of his stunts in Edge of Tomorrow. Clearly, Ying has got quite some guts.
Having a plethora of movies and projects to his name, it seems that Ying is quite the iconic stuntperson in Hollywood. He recently worked alongside Henry Cavill in the 2024 film Argylle as a stunt coordinator.
To top it off, Liang Ying is also attached to the upcoming MCU film Deadpool & Wolverine as a stunt coordinator and the trailer is evidence enough that the action is heavy.
