Tom Cruise recently slammed two crew members who allegedly violated the coronavirus social-distancing regulation while they were filming “Mission: Impossible 7,” in the UK, as he was head on a clip saying, “We’re not shutting this f–king movie down! Is it understood?”

According to People magazine, sources said on Monday that the actor snapped under the strain of the weighty standards he sets for himself and his colleagues.

“Cruise is a perfectionist and he wants others to follow suit. Tom’s whole life is his work. When he sees something less than professional, he wants to make it right,” one film industry source revealed.

Describing the Cruise production team, another source said, “It’s hard to describe how incredibly intense and focused he (Cruise) is on making every movie the absolute best possible.

“It’s hard to describe how incredibly intense and focused he is on making every movie the absolute best possible.

“Tom helped set up the COVID protocol. Of course he takes it personally when the protocol is broken. He is usually just laser-focused on filming. This movie is very different though. He has to film while making sure everyone stays safe.”

The entire noise began when Cruise saw two crew members got closer less than six feet apart around a computer, with the ensuing diatribe captured in a three-minute audio recording.

“They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us. We are creating thousands of jobs, you motherf–kers. If I see you do it again, you’re f–king gone,” he yelled.
