Wade Eastwood “We're not daredevils, we're stunt performers”. The man behind some of the historic scenes in Mission Impossible.

Season 5, Episode 5,   Oct 23, 2022, 11:05 PM

Today’s guest - Wade Eastwood, is not just your average guy who can fly a helicopter, he’s an accomplished fixed-wing pilot. He can also add skydiver & free flier, rescue scuba diver,  and black belt martial artist to his list of talents.  Oh and in case I forget, he can Box, Fence, and skip an offshore yacht.  This guy is a highly graded horse rider, has advanced weapons skills and he has served his country in the Armed Forces.  He also holds multiple armoured car licenses and he has raced cars internationally, with a string of wins in Formula 3, prototypes and sports cars. 

Wade is a stunt coordinator and one of, if not the most reputable men in the industry. Do the films  Mission Impossible, Jumanji and Men in Black ring a bell?  Well, all the action and the stunts…. Wade is the brains behind them.

We headed up to the studio, known as his second home, and walked the woods where Wade has taught the likes of Tom Cruise how to drift. We even got a sneak peak in the 'stunt department'. Aside from chatting pure action, we got into Wade's lifestyle, how he balances work and play, and his passion for supporting the next generation of stunt performers.  We also had to get a little gossip on Mission Impossible 7 ....

Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on?

Each episode drops on a Monday morning as a bitesize piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week. Sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes, entrepreneurs, doctors, authors and broadcasters ’ secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.
