Growing up in Gloucester with a cinema just down the road, Simon’s deep love of films was fostered early on. From Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End to Star Trek and the Mission: Impossible franchise, he’s built one of the most beloved bodies of work. I grew up watching Simon’s films, so getting the chance to meet him was surreal. We talked about everything from working with Tom Cruise and J.J. Abrams to our shared love of horror movies and what it means to be a good dad. In this conversation, Simon shares: Why he’ll never make a sequel to the Cornetto Trilogy Being the child of divorce and what that’s taught him as a parent  His favourite thing about his best friend, Nick Frost  The moment he got the call for Mission: Impossible  Simon is a reminder that turning a childhood passion into a lifelong career isn't about luck, it's about never letting go of the thing you love.
