The 42-year-old actress, who is married to screen legend Michael Douglas, said she loved getting the chance to work with Cruise, reported Femalefirst.
"He's awesome. But that doesn't surprise me. Tom throws himself into every role he does so fantastically well and it shows on film. That's why he's Tom Cruise. But to see him in this film is a real treat."
Jones says she she is too lazy to exercise and would love to start dancing again.
"I haven't danced for a while. I work out and I have a ballet barre in my gym. But every time I do it I think, 'Why don't I do this all the time?'
"I get lazy so working on this film was a bit of a shock to the system. It was like 'OK, I remember those Achilles, I remember those thigh muscles'. All those elements came back and it worked out great," she said.
