After seeing the crew of “Mission : Impossible 7” breaking several Covid-19 safety guidelines, star and producer Tom Cruise ripped the bunch a new one.
Via audio acquired by The Sun, Cruise can be heard going ballistic at a couple of team members for standing too close to each other on the London-set of the blockbuster. Now, before we throw this one into the ‘he’s as crazy as Christian Bale’ pile, let’s remember that there’s a whole lot of stake for this production should it get shut down again due to Covid, plus, the heightened uncertainty of the ongoing pandemic will undoubtedly have raised the actor’s blood pressure in recent times. In short, he’s got a legit beef here.
Here’s what Cruise told the crew :
“We are the gold standard. They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us. Because they believe in us and what we’re doing. I’m on the phone with every f–king studio at night, insurance companies, producers and they’re looking at us and using us to make their movies. We are creating thousands of jobs, you motherf–kers. I don’t ever want to see it again. Ever!
You can tell it to the people who are losing their f–king homes because our industry is shut down. It’s not going to put food on their table or pay for their college education. That’s what I sleep with every night – the future of this f–king industry. So I’m sorry, I am beyond your apologies. I have told you, and now I want it, and if you don’t do it, you’re out. We are not shutting this f–king movie down! Is it understood? If I see it again, you’re f–king gone.
You [points to one] are going to cost him his job. Am I clear? Do you understand what I want? Do you understand the responsibility that I have? Because I will deal with your reason, and if you can’t be reasonable and I can’t deal with your logic, you’re fired. That’s it. That is it. I trust you guys to be here.”
“Mission : Impossible 7” was shut down a couple of months ago when two crew members tested positive for Covid in Italy.
