Jonathan Rhys Meyers has said that he enjoyed working with Tom Cruise on Mission: Impossible III due to the man's overwhelming "power".

Rhys Meyers was stunned by the actor's presence in a room, and said that working with Cruise has made him a better actor.

ContactMusic quote the actor as saying: "Working with Tom Cruise is an education for any young actor. No matter what you get in a Tom Cruise movie it will benefit you to work with him and see how he operates.

"And let me tell you it's exhausting being Tom Cruise, it's a 24-hour job for him, carrying the knowledge of that power.

"When Tom Cruise walks into a room you know he's there because of the amount of power he carries almost comes in the door before he does. That level of fame is not achieved by many."
