“If I see you doing it again, you’re f***ing gone.”
Note to self, if you want to stay on Tom Cruise’s good side — pay attention to Covid guidelines while on set!
Audio has leaked of Cruise laying down the law on the set of the upcoming Mission: Impossible 7 movie, admonishing anyone not following COVID regulations during production.
“If I see you do it again, you’re f***ing gone. And if anyone in this crew does it, that’s it — and you too and you too. And you, don’t you ever f***ing do it again,” Cruise is heard saying. “We are not shutting this f***ing movie down. Is it understood? If I see it again, you’re f***ing gone.”
Listen to the full audio below:
The freak out happened when Cruise apparently spotted two crew members standing less than 3-feet away from each other at a computer screen at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, England, according to various reports on Tuesday.
“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 can be heard saying in audio obtained by The Sun. “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 motherfuckers. I don’t ever want to see it again. Ever!”
"We are not shutting this fucking movie down! … If I see it again, you're fucking gone."

Cruise is quite invested in making sure COVID-19 rules are followed, so much so that while filming he personally paid around $671,207 for the movie’s cast and crew to isolate on an old cruise ship.
The film, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, is scheduled to release in theaters on Nov. 19, 2021, provided there aren’t any further delays.
