"I don¡¯t ever want to see it again, ever. And if you don¡¯t do it you¡¯re fired, if I see you do it again you¡¯re f***ing gone," Cruise can be heard in a leaked audio clip obtained by The Sun.
Apparently, the crew of Mission Impossible 7, his forthcoming film, was flouting COVID-19 rules. When he saw them gathered near a computer monitor,?without standing more than the six feet apart, as recommended by experts, and that is when Tom Cruise he lost his temper.?
The 58-year-old actor, who is also a producer on the project, said he has been speaking with people in Hollywood to safeguard the film from shutting down due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"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," he said.
"I'm on the phone with every f***ing 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 m********ers. I don¡¯t ever want to see it again. Ever," he shouted in a video.
The actor scolded the crew for taking advantage of the safe environment.?
"You can tell it to the people who are losing their f***ing 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***ing 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***ing movie down! Is it understood? If I see it again, you¡¯re fucking gone," Cruise said.?
The shooting of Mission: Impossible 7 was resumed in Sep. The film is slated to be?released on Nov 19, 2021.
