With COVID-19 still running wild, it’s possible anything business-related can be derailed with one positive case, and furthermore, every day working could be the last if lockdowns come back into play. Movie sets have suffered the start production, stop production, resume production COVID treatment throughout this year–Like on The Batman set when Robert Pattinson contracted COVID-19, which caused some serious delays.

Yesterday a rant surfaced from actor Tom Cruise about his Mission Impossible crew breaking protocols. According to TMZ, Tom’s movie is being watched closely to see if it’s possible to film under these conditions and keep Hollywood open.

Tom was on the U.K. set of ‘MI 7’ when someone recorded his expletive-laced tirade … sparked by seeing 2 crew members standing within 6 feet of each other around a monitor … according to The Sun, which first posted the audio.

He explained the ‘MI’ production is under pressure from Hollywood — specifically the studios and insurance companies backing his movie … which, no doubt, want to avoid a COVID-19 outbreak. As Tom puts it, all of Hollywood is watching to see if they can safely pull off filming a blockbuster in multiple countries.

In the audio, the 58-year-old actor can be heard explaining how he had to work tirelessly to get clearance to film amidst the rigid restrictions set in place for Hollywood during the 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,” Cruise exclaimed. “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 motherf—ers. I don’t ever want to see it again. Ever!”

We don’t want to give the whole thing away. His rant was one for the ages that you rarely hear from the lead actor, you can listen to the full ordeal down below.

What do YOU think? Was Tom right for laying down the law on his crew?
