Tom Cruise is very intense with his staff on sets

Believe it or not, Tom Cruise completely losing it on sets isn’t a surprising fact at all.  There have been various instances proving it to be true. One such incident is when he caught the crew of Mission: Impossible 7 standing too close together during the pandemic. His rant was instantly viral on social media. Although he seemed concerned about the crew’s well-being, fans are afraid he might have taken it too far.

“If I see you do it again you’re (expletive) gone. And if anyone on this crew does it, that’s it–“We are the gold standard. They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us”

He continued his rant by saying,

“Because they believe in us and what we’re doing. I’m on the phone with every (expletive) 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 (expletive). I don’t ever want to see it again. Ever!”

Although his concern over obeying covid protocols is much appreciated, abusing his staff like this is really not acceptable.

Here is what Morgan J Freeman, an actor, had to say about the situation.

Many fans agreed with what he said and shared their concern too.

God Complex or Genuine concern?

Being surrounded by yes-men turns people into their worst selves possible, blinding them from their mistakes. This is the result of such a case. The messiah he was trying to be, did not work. Tom Cruise, later on, did not apologize for the situation and stood by it. Fans are convinced that the situation wasn’t about him being worried about breaking protocols and just his anger issues due to the “cookie dough” incident.

Leah Remini, who is a fellow actor, revealed in her book Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, how Cruise lost it when his assistant failed to repackage cookie dough for him on the kitchen counter.

“They had the fear of God in them because they knew what was coming,” she also said in PEOPLE magazine.

Later, Tom Cruise’s PR team denied the situation and said it was all a publicity stunt to promote her book by Leah Remini herself. It is no secret that Leah Remini and Tom Cruise aren’t the best of friends. No further comments have been made on the situation.
