London, June 1 (IANS) Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz has said she was pleasantly stunned by the stunts performed by her co-star Tom Cruise in upcoming movie ‘Knight and Day’.

The ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star revealed that she was astonished by the death-defying stunts performed by Cruise in the movie and thinks he can be a professional dare devil, reports contactmusic.com.

‘Tom is amazing. He is like a professional stuntman. If he wasn’t Tom Cruise, the movie star, he would be the best stunt man in the business,’ said Diaz.

The 37-year-old also said that it was Cruise, who inspired her to push herself further in her own action sequences.

‘I watched him jumping on top of cars and hanging on to the roof as I’m screaming behind the wheel and all I can think is, ‘How does he do that? I want to do that! I want to fly through the air. I want to fight. Give me some action scenes’,’ she said.
