Hayley Atwell recently shared her experience filming a fight scene for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning while eight and a half months pregnant with her first child.

Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 43-year-old actress got candid about her experience when asked about anything which the audience needs to know before playing a snippet of her fierce performance.

Atwell stated, "I've never said before, actually. This is a Fallon exclusive. But during this fight sequence, we came back to it a few times to add a few elements to it. And in this clip, I'm actually eight and a half months pregnant."

Fallon, 50, surprisingly responded "Are you serious?"

"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 replied.
