Tom Cruise Covid rant: What did the movie star say?
Tom flew into a rage spiral on set when he saw two crew members standing too close to each other.
He was caught screaming: “They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us. We are creating thousands of jobs, you [bleep].
“If I see you do it again, you’re [bleep] gone. And if anyone in this crew does it, that’s it — and you too and you too. And you, don’t you ever [bleep] do it again.”

He added: “That’s it. No apologies. You can tell it to the people that are losing their [bleep] homes because our industry is shut down.
“We are not shutting this [bleep] movie down.”
The upcoming Mission Impossible movie became hit by delays due to COVID-19.
As a result, Tom has reportedly taken it upon himself to keep his set safe.
A source told The Sun: “He does daily rounds to make sure that everything is set up appropriately, that people are behaving and working as safely as they can.
“He is very proactive when it comes to safety.”
