Tom Cruise ‘gives a couple of Mission: Impossible crewmembers an x-rated reprimand on Covid rules’

Furious Tom Cruise gave two members of the Mission: Impossible crew an X-rated costume after he caught them breaking UK Covid rules on set, according to reports.

The Hollywood superstar is said to have scolded workers who disobeyed social distancing rules while filming at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, Herts.

Invoking the no-nonsense attitude of his spy persona, Ethan Hunt, the 58-year-old actor, told them, ‘If I see you doing it again, you’ll be gone,’ according to the Sun.

The newspaper says the reprimand was recorded on audiotape, on which he is heard adding: ‘And if someone on this team does it, that’s it, and so do you and so do you.

And you, never do it again. We’re not closing this damn movie. ‘

The American actor was reportedly angered after seeing less than a meter away from each other on a computer screen.

The Hollywood superstar (pictured while filming in Rome last month) is said to have scolded workers who disobeyed social distancing rules while filming at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, Herts.

Filming is underway on the latest movie in the hit franchise, Mission Impossible 7.

The actor has already been seen filming in Rome for the latest movie, in which he will reprise the role of the fictional American secret agent, Hunt.

Last month, Tom was spotted driving a vintage yellow Fiat 500 in the Italian capital as he prepared for dramatic scenes of confrontation with a squad of police cars.

The star was seen trying to drive her small vehicle down a wide city boulevard, before seemingly taking off when she encountered the army of police officers and bicycles.

In previous weeks, he was seen filming several scenes in the Italian capital with his Mission: Impossible 7 co-star Hayley Atwell, 38.

Filming has also taken place in Venice, as well as Great Britain and Norway.

But the movie has already suffered delays. The team was forced to stop production due to Covid.

Many of the vital scenes had to be shot in Italy, which was at one time the center of the global pandemic.

In October, the Top Gun star held crisis talks with director Christopher McQuarrie after 12 people on set reportedly tested positive for COVID-19.

Health chiefs were said to be tracking the contacts of those who tested positive after filming was suspended, dashing hopes that it was an isolated case.

Last month, The Sun reported that 150 movie extras were told they were not supposed to attend to film scenes that were scheduled for the night.

While no official reason was given for the sudden decision, it was claimed that a coronavirus test had come back positive on the production, so filming had to be temporarily suspended.

Crew also urged members of the public to remain socially distanced from each other while waiting to see the stars, while Tom and director Christopher are also said to have made the request.

The star has been wearing a mask on set and has reportedly been keeping an eye out for violators of Covid rules as well.

According to the Sun, he has paid £ 500,000 of his own money to pay for a cruise for the cast and crew to isolate themselves.

MailOnline has reached out to representatives for Tom Cruise and Mission: Impossible for comment.

Mission: Impossible 7 will be released on November 19, 2021.
