Tom Cruise screams at film crew members over COVID rules in leaked audio

A furious Tom Cruise tore into workers who broke COVID-19 rules on the set of “Mission: Impossible,” screaming: “If I see you doing it again, you’re f—ing gone.”

The Hollywood megastar has worked tirelessly behind the scenes to enforce tight social distancing rules during the filming, taking place in Britain.

And he flew into a rage after spotting two of the crew standing within six feet of each other.

An audiotape captured Cruise shouting: “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.”

Fifty members of staff at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire — about 25 miles northwest of London — were left stunned by the angry outburst.

Two of the crew stood less than three feet from each other at a computer screen.

Cruise, 58, was furious that all his efforts to keep filming going during the pandemic could be at risk.

He went on: “They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us. We are creating thousands of jobs, you motherf—ers. That’s it. No apologies. You can tell it to the people that are losing their f—ing homes because our industry is shut down.”

“We are not shutting this f—ing movie down. Is it understood? If I see it again, you’re f—ing gone.”

The latest installment of the franchise, “Mission: Impossible 7,” has already been hit with a host of COVID-related delays as cast and crew travel around Europe.

In October, the “Top Gun” actor held crisis talks with the film’s director, Christopher McQuarrie, 52, days after 12 people on set in Italy were said to have tested positive for the virus.

Up to 150 extras were told not to come in to shoot scenes in Venice as health officials traced contacts of those who had tested positive.

After returning to the UK two weeks ago, Cruise has personally tried to ensure there are no more delays. He has been pictured wearing a mask on set and keeps a ­constant eye out for rule-breakers.

He even personally paid £500,000 ($676,000) for an old cruise ship for the cast and crew to isolate on.

A source said: “Tom has taken it upon himself, along with the health and safety department, to try to force the safety precautions, with a view to keeping the film running.

“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.”

They added: “Everyone was wearing masks. It was purely that these people were standing under a meter away from each other.

“It isn’t known whether he saw those guys breaking the rules before or whether this was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

“People make mistakes and they slip up, but Tom is just on it.”

“Mission: Impossible 7” is set for release in November 2021.
