According to People, a source on the filming set said that the 53-year old actor was always in a good mood while at work. The source added, "Tom is very involved in the shooting of this film...

The insider continued, "He's all work but seems more laid back and happier than ever. He still finds time to goof off and and enjoy laughs with his costar Cobie Smulders."
