In new audio from The Sun, we get to hear just how angry and upset Tom Cruise can get when he witnesses two crew members breaking COVID protocols on the set of “Mission: Impossible 7.” According to the story, two crew members were standing within six feet of each other looking at a monitor when Cruise spotted them. The audio is clearly recorded from a third party and catches the whole thing on tape, where Cruise threatens their jobs and lashes into them for acting carelessly.

“If I see you do it again, you’re fucking gone,” he yelled. “And if anyone in this crew does it, that’s it — and you too and you too. And you, don’t you ever fucking do it again.”

Now, you may hear this and think that Cruise is acting out due to personal reasons, as he wants his blockbuster film to finish production so he can make millions of dollars. But when you hear the rest of the recording, it’s clear that Cruise is really upset over the idea of the entire industry being shut down again due to negligence.

“They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us,” he said. “We are creating thousands of jobs, you motherfuckers. That’s it. No apologies. You can tell it to the people that are losing their fucking homes because our industry is shut down. We are not shutting this fucking movie down. Is it understood? If I see it again, you’re fucking gone.”
