Normally when a new Mission: ImpossibleOpens in a new tab movie comes out, the focus is on the latest insane stunt Tom Cruise almost died while shooting.
But even though FalloutOpens in a new tab might include some of the craziest Ethan Hunt moments yet, they have been completely overshadowed by Henry CavillOpens in a new tab‘s reloading arms and magically appearing facial hair. We’re not talking about the infamous mustache that gave us Superman’s weird CGI face in Justice League; we’re talking about the beard that only appears (along with a breast pocket on his shirt) in the movie’s bathroom fight moments after he cocks his biceps for battle. Such has become the internet’s latest and greatest obsession, and his fellow Fallout costars can’t get enough of it.
Absolutely cannot unsee how in that shot of Henry Cavill putting up his dukes in Mission Impossible he grows a breast pocket between frames pic.twitter.com/nwTuyt386FOpens in a new tab

That’s not how arms or beards work, right? (Right?) Well, maybe not for most of us, but according to Simon Pegg, things are different for Henry Cavill.
I had the chance to ask Henry Cavill about that “arm pump / beard growth” gif that’s circling the internet.
This is the reason I went to college for journalism.

Warner Bros. probably wished Cavill could instantly grow a mustache that way since it would have saved them a lot of ridicule. Also, we agree with the man himself. If we’re ever about to throw down we are going to load our arms just in case. In fact, why wait for a fight?

Fans aren’t the only ones obsessed with his strange fight prep. Cavill’s castmates love it so much they have been making him do it as they promote the film.
I love how the cast of #MissionImpossibleFalloutOpens in a new tab is just as obsessed with Henry Cavill reloading his arms as we all are. pic.twitter.com/1DXAlVOtjnOpens in a new tab

That will never not be funny, even if it becomes the next big dance craze after Cavill himself gave a tutorial on how to load your arms on Good Morning America.
Henry Cavill taught @RobinRobertsOpens in a new tab and the @GMAOpens in a new tab audience how to do the fist loading punch from the new #MissionImpossibleOpens in a new tab. It’s glorious. pic.twitter.com/KlzFRX7CfrOpens in a new tab

The internet’s obsession with his magic beard and loading arms is glorious.
I saw #MissionImpossibleFalloutOpens in a new tab and I couldn’t get over Henry Cavill reloading his guns, so I made this…@chrismcquarrieOpens in a new tab pic.twitter.com/YCFIaV2KZKOpens in a new tab

What are the odds in M:I7 Tom Cruise’s biggest stunt is him trying reloading his legs and growing Ethan Hunt’s hair back from the second movie?
