The Hollywood star gave an expletive reprimand to the two crew members, telling them that they would fire them if he saw them do it again.
Appearing on Howard Stern’s radio show, Clooney said he didn’t feel like Cruise had overreacted.
“He did not overreact because it is a problem,” he said, according to People. “I have a friend who is an advertiser on another TV show to which almost exactly the same thing happened without such a distant response.”
Although Clooney said he would have treated the situation differently, he commented that he understood why Cruise felt so strongly about him.
At one point, Cruise was heard saying to crew members, “No apologies. You can tell people that they are losing their damn homes because our industry is closed. “
He continued: “He is not going to put food on his table or pay for his college education. That’s what I sleep on every night – the future of this damn industry! So sorry, I’m beyond your apologies. “
“You are in a position of power and it is complicated, right? You have a responsibility for everyone else and he’s absolutely right about that, ”Clooney said.

“And, you know, if production goes down, a lot of people lose their jobs,” he continued.
“People have to understand that and they have to be responsible. It’s not my style, you know, to get everyone to work like that. “
He added that while he would not have done it “so personally,” he wonders if the situation had happened before.
“I don’t know all the circumstances, so maybe I’ve had it 10 or 15 times before,” he said.
Mission: Impossible 7 has suffered a series of setbacks due to the coronavirus pandemic. Production was initially stopped in February this year, while filming was taking place in Italy.
In October, the movie was forced to shut down for another week after a team member tested positive for Covid-19. Production is already underway in London.
The film is scheduled to premiere in November 2021.
